What's New in v0.9.7-beta

S3 Offsite Sync & Restore

This release brings major improvements to S3 offsite backup capabilities:

• Full S3 Restore Support - Restore repositories from S3 with one click. Choose "Replace" to overwrite local data or "Copy" to create a new repository from S3 data
• Orphaned S3 Recovery - Detect and recover repositories that exist in S3 but were deleted locally. Never lose your offsite backups!
• Smart Manifest System - BBS now uploads a .bbs-manifest.json alongside each S3 sync containing archive metadata. This enables instant file catalog recovery without slow borg operations
• S3 Sync Indicator - Repository cards now show an "S3 Sync" badge when offsite replication is enabled
• Server Backup S3 Sync - Daily server backups now properly sync to S3 offsite storage

New Repository Detail Page

Click any repository to access a dedicated management page with:

• Repository statistics and encryption info
• S3 offsite sync status with last sync time
• One-click maintenance actions: Check, Compact, Break Lock, Repair
• S3 restore options (Replace or Copy mode with custom naming)
• Safe repository deletion with optional S3 cleanup

UI Improvements

• Queue Page - Job type icons and improved progress bars make it easy to track what's running
• Server Log - Pagination, mobile-friendly layout, and clickable client names
• Storage Pool - Better column layout on wide screens

Bug Fixes

• Fixed server backup and S3 sync to use bbs-ssh-helper (was failing on production due to sudo permissions)
• Fixed S3 restore permissions when user home directory is owned by root
• Fixed borg cache confusion after S3 restore (repos share same UUID)
• Resolved rclone permission errors with proper HOME/XDG directory handling
• Fixed catalog sync to properly fetch archive sizes
