# Restore Tooling & Runbook Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Build `restore.sh` (full / single-database / single-file recovery) and `RUNBOOK.md` so the backup system built around `borg-backup.sh` and `dump_db.sh` has a documented, scriptable, fast recovery path.
**Architecture:** `restore.sh` is a standalone bash script mirroring the config/logging conventions of `borg-backup.sh`. It offers three subcommands (`full`, `db <name>`, `file <path>`) plus `--list-archives`, all reading from the same encrypted Borg repo. Destructive modes require explicit confirmation (`--force` for `full`, typed database name or `--yes` for `db`). `RUNBOOK.md` documents one-time setup, deployment, scheduling, day-2 ops, and step-by-step recovery for all three scenarios.
**Tech Stack:** bash, borg, docker, mysql/mariadb client, rclone (setup only, not used by restore.sh).
## Global Constraints
- Target directory: `/home/srv/files/content` (`TARGET`)
- Repo: `/home/srv/files/backups/borg-2025` (`NAME=borg-2025`)
- DB container name: `mariadb`
- Borg passphrase file: `/root/.borg-passphrase`, chmod 600, read via `BORG_PASSCOMMAND`
- Backup DB user `backup`, password file `/root/.mariadb-backup.pw` (used by `dump_db.sh`, unrelated to restore)
- Dump directory inside target: `mariadb/dump`, one `.sql` file per database, plus `00-users-and-grants.sql`
- MariaDB is never stopped for backups; its raw data directory is excluded from the archive via a `.nobackup` marker file — restores are always driven from the logical dump, never from raw archived DB files
- `restore.sh` must never silently overwrite live data: `full` refuses to run against a non-empty target without `--force`; `db` requires the database name to be typed back for confirmation unless `--yes` is passed
- Restore DB operations authenticate as `root` (env `MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD` or a password file, default `/root/.mariadb-root.pw`) since restore needs privileges the `backup` user does not have
- Logs go to `/var/log/borg/restore-*.log` (override via `RESTORE_LOGDIR` for testing), same naming convention as `borg-backup.sh`
---
## File Structure
- Create: `restore.sh` — the recovery script (repo root, alongside `borg-backup.sh`)
- Create: `RUNBOOK.md` — operational documentation (repo root)
- Create: `tests/test_restore.sh` — bash test script exercising `restore.sh` against mocked `borg`/`docker`/`mysql`/`mariadb` binaries; grows across tasks
- Create: `tests/lib/setup_mocks.sh` — shared helper that builds the mock binaries into a temp `$PATH` directory
## Task 1: `restore.sh` scaffold — config, logging, arg parsing, usage
**Files:**
- Create: `restore.sh`
- Create: `tests/test_restore.sh`
**Interfaces:**
- Produces: `log(msg)`, `step(msg)`, `die(msg)` (exits 1), `run_cmd(cmd...)`, `usage()`, `parse_common_flags(args...)` (sets globals `ARCHIVE_OVERRIDE`, `FORCE`, `YES`, `DRY_RUN`, `DEST`), `main(args...)`. Config globals: `NAME`, `REPO`, `TARGET`, `DB_CONTAINER`, `DB_START_TIMEOUT`, `BORG_PASSPHRASE_FILE`, `ROOT_PASSWORD_FILE`, `DUMP_SUBDIR`, `ARCHIVE_TARGET_PATH`, `LOGDIR`, `LOGFILE`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the tests**
Run: `chmod +x tests/test_restore.sh && RESTORE_LOGDIR=/tmp/restore-test-logs bash tests/test_restore.sh`
Expected: three `PASS:` lines, then `All tests passed`, exit 0.

```bash
git add restore.sh tests/test_restore.sh
git commit -m "feat: add restore.sh scaffold with arg parsing and usage"
```

## Task 2: Archive listing and resolution
**Files:**
- Modify: `restore.sh` (add functions before `main()`)
- Modify: `tests/test_restore.sh`
- Create: `tests/lib/setup_mocks.sh`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `die()`, `log()` from Task 1.
- Produces: `resolve_archive()` (sets global `RESOLVED_ARCHIVE`, honors `ARCHIVE_OVERRIDE`), `list_archives()`.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write `tests/lib/setup_mocks.sh`**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Builds fake borg/docker/mysql/mariadb executables into $1 so restore.sh
# can be exercised without real infrastructure. Each mock logs its
# invocation to $1/mock.log.
setup_mock_bin() {

exit 0
EOF
cp "$dir/mysql" "$dir/mariadb"
chmod +x "$dir/borg" "$dir/docker" "$dir/mysql" "$dir/mariadb"
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add `resolve_archive()` and `list_archives()` to `restore.sh`**
Insert directly above the `usage()` function:
```bash
resolve_archive() {
if [[ -n "$ARCHIVE_OVERRIDE" ]]; then
RESOLVED_ARCHIVE="$ARCHIVE_OVERRIDE"
return 0
fi
RESOLVED_ARCHIVE="$(borg list --short --lock-wait 60 2>/dev/null | tail -n1)"
[[ -n "$RESOLVED_ARCHIVE" ]] || die "no archives found in repo $REPO"
}
list_archives() {
borg list --lock-wait 60
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Syntax-check**
Run: `bash -n restore.sh`
Expected: no output, exit 0.
- [ ] **Step 4: Add a test for `--list-archives`**
Append to `tests/test_restore.sh`, just above the `test_help_exits_zero` calls at the bottom:
```bash
source "$HERE/lib/setup_mocks.sh"
test_list_archives() {
local mockdir out
mockdir="$(mktemp -d)"
setup_mock_bin "$mockdir"
out="$(PATH="$mockdir:$PATH" bash "$RESTORE" --list-archives)"
assert_contains "$out" "host-2026-01-01T00-00-00" "list-archives shows first archive"
assert_contains "$out" "host-2026-06-01T00-00-00" "list-archives shows latest archive"
rm -rf "$mockdir"
}
```
And add the call `test_list_archives` next to the other `test_*` invocations (before the `echo "-----"` line).
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the tests**
Run: `RESTORE_LOGDIR=/tmp/restore-test-logs bash tests/test_restore.sh`
Expected: all `PASS:` lines including the two new ones, `All tests passed`, exit 0.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add restore.sh tests/test_restore.sh tests/lib/setup_mocks.sh
git commit -m "feat: add archive listing and resolution to restore.sh"
```
---
## Task 3: `file` mode (non-destructive single path restore)
**Files:**
- Modify: `restore.sh`
- Modify: `tests/test_restore.sh`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `resolve_archive()`, `RESOLVED_ARCHIVE`, `ARCHIVE_TARGET_PATH`, `REPO`, `run_cmd()`, `log()`, `step()`, global `DRY_RUN`/`DEST` from Tasks 1-2.
- Produces: `extract_path(rel_path, dest_dir, archive)` (echoes the final absolute path of the extracted item), `cmd_file(rel_path)`.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add `extract_path()` and `cmd_file()` to `restore.sh`**
Insert directly above `usage()`, after `list_archives()`:
```bash
extract_path() {
local rel_path="$1" dest_dir="$2" archive="$3"
mkdir -p "$dest_dir"
( cd "$dest_dir" && run_cmd borg extract --lock-wait 600 "${REPO}::${archive}" "${ARCHIVE_TARGET_PATH}/${rel_path}" )
echo "${dest_dir%/}/${ARCHIVE_TARGET_PATH}/${rel_path}"
}
cmd_file() {
local rel_path="$1" dest
resolve_archive
dest="${DEST:-/tmp/restore-file-$$}"
step "Restoring '$rel_path' from archive $RESOLVED_ARCHIVE into $dest"
if [[ "$DRY_RUN" == true ]]; then
log "[DRY-RUN] would extract ${ARCHIVE_TARGET_PATH}/${rel_path} from ${REPO}::${RESOLVED_ARCHIVE} into $dest"
return 0
fi
local final
final="$(extract_path "$rel_path" "$dest" "$RESOLVED_ARCHIVE")"
log "Restored file available at: $final"
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Syntax-check**
Run: `bash -n restore.sh`
Expected: no output, exit 0.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add tests for `file` mode**
Append to `tests/test_restore.sh` (near `test_list_archives`):
```bash
test_file_restore_extracts_to_dest() {
local mockdir dest out final
mockdir="$(mktemp -d)"
dest="$(mktemp -d)"
setup_mock_bin "$mockdir"
out="$(PATH="$mockdir:$PATH" bash "$RESTORE" file photos/img.jpg --dest "$dest")"
final="$dest/home/srv/files/content/photos/img.jpg"
assert_contains "$out" "Restored file available at: $final" "file mode reports final path"
if [[ -f "$final" ]]; then
echo "PASS: extracted file exists on disk"
else
echo "FAIL: extracted file missing at $final"
FAILURES=$((FAILURES + 1))
fi
rm -rf "$mockdir" "$dest"
}
test_file_restore_dry_run_makes_no_borg_call() {
local mockdir dest
mockdir="$(mktemp -d)"
dest="$(mktemp -d)"
setup_mock_bin "$mockdir"
PATH="$mockdir:$PATH" bash "$RESTORE" file photos/img.jpg --dest "$dest" --dry-run >/dev/null
if [[ -s "$mockdir/mock.log" ]] && grep -q "^borg extract" "$mockdir/mock.log"; then
echo "FAIL: dry-run invoked borg extract"
FAILURES=$((FAILURES + 1))
else
echo "PASS: dry-run made no borg extract call"
fi
rm -rf "$mockdir" "$dest"
}
```
Add `test_file_restore_extracts_to_dest` and `test_file_restore_dry_run_makes_no_borg_call` to the list of test invocations.
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the tests**
Run: `RESTORE_LOGDIR=/tmp/restore-test-logs bash tests/test_restore.sh`
Expected: all tests pass, including the two new ones.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add restore.sh tests/test_restore.sh
git commit -m "feat: add non-destructive file-restore mode to restore.sh"
```

## Task 4: `db` mode (single-database restore with confirmation)
**Files:**
- Modify: `restore.sh`
- Modify: `tests/test_restore.sh`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `resolve_archive()`, `RESOLVED_ARCHIVE`, `extract_path()`, `DUMP_SUBDIR`, `DB_CONTAINER`, `ROOT_PASSWORD_FILE`, global `YES`/`DRY_RUN` from Tasks 1-3.
- Produces: `detect_client()` (sets `CLIENT_BIN`), `get_root_creds()` (sets `DB_PASS`), `confirm_or_abort(dbname)`, `restore_single_db(sqlfile, dbname)`, `cmd_db(dbname)`.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the db-mode functions to `restore.sh`**
Insert directly above `usage()`, after `cmd_file()`:
```bash
detect_client() {
if docker exec "$DB_CONTAINER" sh -c 'command -v mariadb' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
CLIENT_BIN="mariadb"

```
- [ ] **Step 2: Syntax-check**
Run: `bash -n restore.sh`
Expected: no output, exit 0.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add tests for `db` mode**
Append to `tests/test_restore.sh`:
```bash

Run: `RESTORE_LOGDIR=/tmp/restore-test-logs bash tests/test_restore.sh`
Expected: all tests pass, including the three new ones.

## Task 5: `full` mode (disaster recovery) and shared container helpers
**Files:**
- Modify: `restore.sh`
- Modify: `tests/test_restore.sh`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `resolve_archive()`, `detect_client()`, `get_root_creds()`, `restore_single_db()`, `ARCHIVE_TARGET_PATH`, `TARGET`, `DUMP_SUBDIR`, `DB_CONTAINER`, `DB_START_TIMEOUT`, global `FORCE`/`DRY_RUN` from Tasks 1-4.

```bash
git add restore.sh tests/test_restore.sh
git commit -m "feat: add full disaster-recovery mode to restore.sh"

## Task 6: `RUNBOOK.md`
**Files:**
- Create: `RUNBOOK.md`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: final `restore.sh` CLI surface from Tasks 1-5 (`full`, `db <name>`, `file <path>`, `--list-archives`, flags `--archive`/`--force`/`--yes`/`--dry-run`/`--dest`), and `borg-backup.sh`'s config (`NAME=borg-2025`, `REPO=/home/srv/files/backups/borg-2025`, `TARGET=/home/srv/files/content`, `BORG_PASSPHRASE_FILE=/root/.borg-passphrase`).
- [ ] **Step 1: Write `RUNBOOK.md`**
```markdown
# Backup & Recovery Runbook
Covers `borg-backup.sh` (daily backup), `dump_db.sh` (MariaDB logical
dumps, invoked by the backup script), and `restore.sh` (recovery).
## 1. One-Time Setup
Run once, by hand, on the server:
1. Initialize the encrypted Borg repo:
```bash
mkdir -p /home/srv/files/backups
borg init --encryption=repokey-blake2 /home/srv/files/backups/borg-2025
```
2. Create the passphrase file used by both backup and restore:
```bash
echo 'your-strong-passphrase' > /root/.borg-passphrase
chmod 600 /root/.borg-passphrase
```
3. Create the MariaDB `backup` user used by `dump_db.sh` (read-only, no
stop/lock of the server required thanks to `--single-transaction`):
```sql
CREATE USER 'backup'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'a-strong-password';
GRANT SELECT, LOCK TABLES, SHOW VIEW, TRIGGER, PROCESS, RELOAD ON *.* TO 'backup'@'%';
```
```bash
echo 'a-strong-password' > /root/.mariadb-backup.pw
chmod 600 /root/.mariadb-backup.pw
```
4. Create the root password file used only by `restore.sh` (restore needs
CREATE/DROP privileges the `backup` user does not have):
```bash
echo 'the-mariadb-root-password' > /root/.mariadb-root.pw
chmod 600 /root/.mariadb-root.pw
```
5. Exclude MariaDB's raw data directory from the archive. Find the
directory bind-mounted into the container as its datadir and drop a
marker file in it:
```bash
touch /home/srv/files/content/mariadb/data/.nobackup
```
This is what allows backups to run with the container up: only the
logical dump under `mariadb/dump/` is ever archived or restored from.
6. Configure the `scaleway` rclone remote:
```bash
rclone config
# create a remote named "scaleway", type S3, matching your Scaleway
# Object Storage credentials and region
```
7. Set a real healthcheck URL in `borg-backup.sh` (`HEALTHCHECK_URL=`), for
example from https://healthchecks.io.
## 2. Deploying the Scripts
Copy `borg-backup.sh`, `dump_db.sh`, and `restore.sh` to the server (e.g.
`/opt/backup-agent/`), and `dump_db.sh` additionally to
`/home/srv/files/content/mariadb/dump_db.sh` (this exact path is what
`borg-backup.sh` invokes). Make all three executable:
```bash
chmod +x /opt/backup-agent/borg-backup.sh /opt/backup-agent/restore.sh
chmod +x /home/srv/files/content/mariadb/dump_db.sh
```
## 3. Scheduling
Add a cron entry to run the backup daily, off-peak:
```
# /etc/cron.d/borg-backup
30 2 * * * root /opt/backup-agent/borg-backup.sh >> /var/log/borg/cron.log 2>&1
```
Check the last run:
```bash
ls -lt /var/log/borg/backup-*.log | head -1 # latest log file
tail -50 /var/log/borg/backup-*.log # inspect it
```
Or watch the healthcheck dashboard configured in step 1.7 — a missed or
failed run pages/alerts there.
## 4. Day-2 Operations
List archives:
```bash
./restore.sh --list-archives
```
Check repo size and health:
```bash
BORG_PASSCOMMAND="cat /root/.borg-passphrase" borg info /home/srv/files/backups/borg-2025
```
Rotate the passphrase (creates a new key, re-encrypts nothing — old
archives still need the old passphrase to read, so keep both until fully
migrated):
```bash
BORG_PASSCOMMAND="cat /root/.borg-passphrase" borg key change-passphrase /home/srv/files/backups/borg-2025
```
Stale lockfile (backup or restore aborted mid-run and left the repo
locked):
```bash
BORG_PASSCOMMAND="cat /root/.borg-passphrase" borg break-lock /home/srv/files/backups/borg-2025
```
## 5. Recovery Procedures
All `restore.sh` commands accept `--dry-run` to preview exactly what would
happen without touching anything, and `--archive NAME` to target a
specific archive instead of the latest (see archive names via
`--list-archives`).
### 5.1 Full disaster recovery (new or wiped server)
Use when the whole server/container is gone and you're rebuilding from
scratch.
```bash
# 1. Reinstall borg, docker, and the mariadb container image/compose file
# (not covered by restore.sh - this is infra provisioning).
# 2. Restore the passphrase file (from your password manager / secondary
# backup - it is NOT stored in the repo it protects) to
# /root/.borg-passphrase, and the root DB password to
# /root/.mariadb-root.pw.
# 3. Preview:
./restore.sh full --dry-run
# 4. Run for real (refuses if /home/srv/files/content is non-empty):
./restore.sh full --force
```
This extracts the full content tree from the archive, restores every
database dump (users/grants first), and starts the `mariadb` container,
waiting for it to report healthy.
**Verify afterward:**
- `docker ps` shows `mariadb` running and healthy.
- The application responds normally.
- Spot-check row counts on a couple of tables against what you'd expect.
### 5.2 Single database restore
Use when one database got corrupted or someone ran a bad migration/query
against it — this **drops and recreates** that database.
```bash
./restore.sh db shopdb --dry-run # preview
./restore.sh db shopdb # prompts: type "shopdb" to confirm
```
Non-interactive (e.g. scripted from a monitoring alert): add `--yes` to
skip the typed confirmation.
**Verify afterward:** connect to the database and check the tables/row
counts you expect.
### 5.3 Single file/directory restore
Use for accidental deletion of a file, or to inspect an old version — this
never touches the running database or container.
```bash
./restore.sh file path/relative/to/content/some-file.txt --dest /tmp/recovered
```
The final location of the recovered item is printed at the end (it lands
under `/tmp/recovered/home/srv/files/content/...` — Borg preserves the
absolute path it was archived with).
## 6. Restore Drill Cadence
Quarterly, run a real `full` restore into a scratch directory (not
`/home/srv/files/content`) to confirm backups are actually usable:
```bash
mkdir -p /tmp/restore-drill
BORG_PASSCOMMAND="cat /root/.borg-passphrase" \
borg extract --lock-wait 600 /home/srv/files/backups/borg-2025::$(./restore.sh --list-archives | tail -1) \
--destination /tmp/restore-drill # (or adapt restore.sh's TARGET for a one-off dry run into scratch)
```
Confirm the dump files under `mariadb/dump/` are present, non-empty, and
importable (`mysql -u root -p < mariadb/dump/somedb.sql` against a
throwaway MariaDB container). Log the drill date and outcome somewhere
durable (e.g. the healthcheck dashboard's notes, or a team wiki page).
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Cross-check the runbook against the script's actual CLI**
Run: `grep -oE 'restore\.sh [a-z-]+' RUNBOOK.md | sort -u`
Expected output includes `restore.sh --list-archives`, `restore.sh db`,
`restore.sh file`, `restore.sh full` — confirming every implemented
subcommand is documented. Run `./restore.sh -h` and confirm no flag or
subcommand appears there that's missing from `RUNBOOK.md`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add RUNBOOK.md
git commit -m "docs: add operational runbook for backup and recovery"
```

## Self-Review Notes
- **Spec coverage:** one-time setup (Task 6 §1), deployment (§2), cron
scheduling (§3), day-2 ops (§4), all three recovery scenarios (§5.1-5.3),
quarterly drill (§6) — all present. `restore.sh` covers `full`/`db`/`file`
with `--force`/typed-confirmation/`--yes` safety guards and `--dry-run`
for every mode, per the approved design.
- **No changes** were made to `dump_db.sh`; `borg-backup.sh`'s only change
(removing the DB stop/start) was already implemented and committed
before this plan.
- **Type/name consistency:** `RESOLVED_ARCHIVE`, `CLIENT_BIN`, `DB_PASS`,
`ARCHIVE_TARGET_PATH`, `DUMP_SUBDIR` are defined once (Tasks 1-2) and
reused with the same names through Task 5; `restore_single_db()` is
defined in Task 4 and reused unchanged by `cmd_full()` in Task 5.
