# Backup Policy (QuoteForge) # AI Implementation Guide: Go Scheduled Backup Rotation (ZIP)
## Overview This document is written **for an AI** to replicate the same backup approach in another Go project. It contains the exact requirements, design notes, and full module listings you can copy.
QuoteForge performs automatic backups of local runtime data on a daily schedule. Backups are stored as ZIP archives and rotated per period (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly).
The policy is designed to be easily replicated across installations and user environments without additional dependencies. ## Requirements (Behavioral)
- Run backups on a daily schedule at a configured local time (default `00:00`).
- At startup, if there is no backup for the current period, create it immediately.
- Backup content must include:
- Local SQLite DB file (e.g., `qfs.db`).
- SQLite sidecars (`-wal`, `-shm`) if present.
- Runtime config file (e.g., `config.yaml`) if present.
- Backups must be ZIP archives named:
- `qfs-backp-YYYY-MM-DD.zip`
- Retention policy:
- 7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly, 10 yearly archives.
- Keep backups in period-specific directories:
- `<backup root>/daily`, `/weekly`, `/monthly`, `/yearly`.
- Prevent duplicate backups for the same period via a marker file.
- Log success with the archive path, and log errors on failure.
## What Gets Backed Up ## Configuration & Env
Each backup archive contains: - Config key: `backup.time` with format `HH:MM` in local time. Default: `00:00`.
- Local SQLite database file (`qfs.db`) - Env overrides:
- SQLite sidecar files (`qfs.db-wal`, `qfs.db-shm`) if present - `QFS_BACKUP_DIR` — backup root directory.
- Runtime config file (`config.yaml`) if present - `QFS_BACKUP_DISABLE` — disable backups (`1/true/yes`).
## Schedule ## Integration Steps (Minimal)
Backups run once per day at a configured time. 1. Add `BackupConfig` to your config struct.
- Config key: `backup.time` 2. Add a scheduler goroutine that:
- Default: `00:00` - On startup: runs backup immediately if needed.
- Format: `HH:MM` (24-hour local time) - Then sleeps until next configured time and runs daily.
3. Add the backup module (below).
4. Wire logs for success/failure.
## Storage Location ---
Default location is next to the local DB:
``` # Full Go Listings
<db dir>/backups/
``` ## 1) Backup Module (Drop-in)
Period-specific subdirectories: Create: `internal/appstate/backup.go`
```

Optional override: ---
- `QFS_BACKUP_DIR` — absolute or relative path to the backup root
## Naming Convention ## 2) Scheduler Hook (Main)
Backup files are ZIP archives named by creation date: Add this to your `main.go` (or equivalent). This schedules daily backups and logs success.
```
qfs-backp-YYYY-MM-DD.zip
```
Each period keeps its own copy under its directory.
## Retention ```go
Rotation keeps a fixed number of archives per period: func startBackupScheduler(ctx context.Context, cfg *config.Config, dbPath, configPath string) {
- Daily: 7 archives if cfg == nil {
- Weekly: 4 archives return
- Monthly: 12 archives }
- Yearly: 10 archives
Older archives beyond these limits are deleted automatically. hour, minute, err := parseBackupTime(cfg.Backup.Time)
if err != nil {
slog.Warn("invalid backup time; using 00:00", "value", cfg.Backup.Time, "error", err)
hour = 0
minute = 0
}
## Period Dedupe // Startup check: if no backup exists for current periods, create now.
A marker file stored inside each period directory tracks the last backup key to avoid duplicate backups within the same period. if created, backupErr := appstate.EnsureRotatingLocalBackup(dbPath, configPath); backupErr != nil {
- File: `.period.json` slog.Error("local backup failed", "error", backupErr)
- Content: `{ "key": "<period-key>" }` } else if len(created) > 0 {
for _, path := range created {
slog.Info("local backup completed", "archive", path)
}
}
## Logs for {
Successful backup creation is logged with the archive path: next := nextBackupTime(time.Now(), hour, minute)
``` timer := time.NewTimer(time.Until(next))
local backup completed archive=/path/to/.../qfs-backp-YYYY-MM-DD.zip duration=...
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
timer.Stop()
return
case <-timer.C:
start := time.Now()
created, backupErr := appstate.EnsureRotatingLocalBackup(dbPath, configPath)
duration := time.Since(start)
if backupErr != nil {
slog.Error("local backup failed", "error", backupErr, "duration", duration)
} else {
for _, path := range created {
slog.Info("local backup completed", "archive", path, "duration", duration)
}
}
}
}
}
func parseBackupTime(value string) (int, int, error) {
if strings.TrimSpace(value) == "" {
return 0, 0, fmt.Errorf("empty backup time")
}
parsed, err := time.Parse("15:04", value)
if err != nil {
return 0, 0, err
}
return parsed.Hour(), parsed.Minute(), nil
}
func nextBackupTime(now time.Time, hour, minute int) time.Time {
location := now.Location()
target := time.Date(now.Year(), now.Month(), now.Day(), hour, minute, 0, 0, location)
if !now.Before(target) {
target = target.Add(24 * time.Hour)
}
return target
}
``` ```
Failures are logged with: ---
```
local backup failed error=... duration=... ## 3) Config Struct (Minimal)
Add to config:
```go
type BackupConfig struct {
Time string `yaml:"time"`
}
``` ```
## Disable Backups Default:
Set environment variable: ```go
if c.Backup.Time == "" {
c.Backup.Time = "00:00"
}
``` ```
QFS_BACKUP_DISABLE=1
```
Accepted values: `1`, `true`, `yes` (case-insensitive).
## Notes ---
- Backups are performed on startup if the current period has no backup.
- All paths are resolved relative to runtime DB/config paths. ## Notes for Replication
- Keep `backup.time` in local time. Do **not** parse with timezone offsets unless required.
- The `.period.json` marker is what prevents duplicate backups within the same period.
- The archive file name only contains the date. Uniqueness is ensured by per-period directories and the period marker.
- If you change naming or retention, update both the file naming and prune logic together.
