reserve `aws s3 sync` for directory-level operations +- Validate connectivity with a simple `aws s3 ls --endpoint-url ... s3://bucket` before running backups + +### cron +- Use absolute paths for all executables and file references in cron entries +- Redirect both stdout and stderr in cron jobs: `>> /path/to/log 2>&1` +- Source the `.env` file explicitly at the top of the cron-executed script +- Test cron jobs by running the exact command from the crontab entry manually first +- Use `crontab -l` to verify the entry was saved correctly after editing + +## Red Flags When Implementing Backup & Restore + +- **Hardcoded credentials in scripts**: Credentials must never appear in shell scripts or version-controlled files; always use environment variables or secret managers +- **Missing error handling**: Scripts without `set -euo pipefail` or explicit error checks can silently produce incomplete or corrupt backups +- **No restore testing**: A backup that has never been restored is an assumption, not a guarantee; test restores regularly +- **Relative paths in cron jobs**: Cron does not inherit the user's shell environment; relative paths will fail silently +- **Deleting local backups before verifying upload**: Removing temp files before confirming successful R2 upload risks total data loss +- **Version mismatch between pg_dump and server**: Incompatible versions can produce unusable dump files or miss database features +- **No confirmation gate on restore**: Restoring without explicit user confirmation can destroy production data irreversibly +- **Ignoring log rotation**: Unbounded log growth in `logs/pg_backup.log` will eventually fill the disk + +## Output (TODO Only) + +Write the full implementation plan, task list, and draft code to `TODO_backup-restore.md` only.
