restore.rs

1//! Seeding a store directory from a backup.
2//!
3//! The mirror of [`GraphDb::backup_to`](crate::GraphDb::backup_to), and it
4//! lives beside it for the same reason: a restore is a file-level copy of a
5//! store directory followed by an open that proves the copy is a store.
6//!
7//! This was the CLI's `--restore-from` implementation until v0.6.10, when the
8//! Python binding needed it too. `cli::restore_if_empty` is now a thin wrapper
9//! over [`restore_if_empty`] here, with the CLI's error type; the semantics are
10//! unchanged.

118/// A store is "present" when `db_dir` holds `snapshot.bin` or a non-empty
119/// `wal.bin`. `from` is either a backup directory itself (it holds a store by
120/// that same test) or a directory of them, in which case the immediate
121/// subdirectory named `latest` wins if it holds one, else the newest by mtime.
122///
123/// The restore is all-or-nothing. The backup is copied into a staging
124/// directory **inside** `db_dir` and opened there — the same CRC and replay
125/// checks any open runs — and only a copy that opened is moved into place. Any
126/// *error* removes the staging directory (or, once files have started moving,
127/// undoes the moves already made) and leaves `db_dir` exactly as it was, so
128/// the error names the paths, the operator can fix the backup, and the next
129/// boot restores rather than reporting [`RestoreOutcome::AlreadyPresent`] over
130/// a half-written store. That unwind is process-local: a crash between the
131/// two renames that install the staged files (not a returned error, but the
132/// process dying) can leave `db_dir` holding one file but not the other. The
133/// next boot sees that partial store as already present and reports
134/// [`RestoreOutcome::AlreadyPresent`] rather than restoring over it — clear
135/// the directory and restore again.
136///
137/// Staging lives inside `db_dir` on purpose: `db_dir` is typically the mount
138/// point, so a sibling directory could land on another filesystem and turn the
139/// final moves into cross-device copies.
