Full Changelog: v0.3.0.beta21...v0.3.1

kamal-backup 0.3.0 backs up multiple databases in one Kamal deployment. Point it at a Postgres primary and a separate queue or cache database, or any mix of Postgres, MySQL/MariaDB, and SQLite, and each one gets backed up and retained on its own.

Supporting more than one database meant the old flat config could no longer describe a setup, so this release moves to a grouped YAML shape. One config/kamal-backup.yml now describes everything: app name, the list of databases, file backup paths, restic settings, restore targets, and the schedule.

Breaking change: new config shape

The flat config keys from 0.2.x no longer work. Move to the grouped shape before you reboot the accessory.

Key moves:

• app_name -> app
• database_adapter, database_url, sqlite_database_path -> databases[]
• backup_paths -> paths
• restic_repository -> restic.repository
• restic_init_if_missing -> restic.init_if_missing
• backup_schedule_seconds: 86400 -> backup.schedule: 1d
• state_dir -> state.path

After migrating, run:

bundle exec kamal-backup validate

It lists any legacy keys you still need to move. Full migration notes: https://kamal-backup.dev/upgrading/

Also in this release

• Database and file snapshots now retain separately, so each database keeps its own history.
• Secret references in YAML, so config can point at Kamal secrets without holding the values.
• Restic REST credentials via restic.rest.username and restic.rest.password.
• backup --force to run a backup now, even when the schedule says it is not due.
• prune to apply restic retention by hand with restic forget --prune.
• Fresh-backup reporting that confirms each run created the database and file snapshots you expected.
• Per-path backup excludes, plus automatic SQLite WAL and SHM excludes when a SQLite database sits inside a backed-up path.
• Clearer reporting when a restic stream fails.

Kamal integration

• backup, list, check, prune, evidence, validate, and version find the backup accessory from a normal Kamal app checkout.
• -d and -c select destination and config the same way Kamal does.
• Remote commands check that your local gem version matches the accessory before they run.
• Remote command output streams in Kamal's style, with color and clearer host labels.
• Validation can read rendered Kamal accessory config and required secrets before the accessory is running.

Restores, drills, and evidence

• restore local and drill local pull production source settings from config/kamal-backup.yml and figure out local Rails targets from config/database.yml, storage, and tmp/kamal-backup.
• drill production restores into scratch targets instead of touching live production data.
• restore production still requires explicit confirmation and does not accept --yes.
• evidence collects redacted config, latest snapshots, the latest restic check, the latest restore drill, retention policy, and tool versions for security reviews.
• Redaction now covers database URL credentials, secret-like values, and username-style environment keys.
