August 2025: Implemented end-to-end Restore Operations Lifecycle Management in SchemeShard with persistent long-running restore support, complemented by dedicated RPC handlers, data structures, and lifecycle controls (start, cancel, retrieve, list) that persist across restarts and include finalization steps for incremental restores. Added support for long-running restore operations via new RPCs and finalized incremental restore flow. Fixed a path resolution bug for DROP BACKUP COLLECTION across database-like names and non-existent collections, accompanied by comprehensive unit tests validating multiple scenarios. These changes improve disaster-recovery reliability, reduce manual intervention, and enhance testing coverage across restore and backup workflows.

July 2025 – ydb-platform/ydb: Delivered core enhancements to restore and CDC workflows, improving reliability, maintainability, and operational safety. Incremental Restore Improvements in SchemeShard consolidate restart-aware restore operations, multi-restore lifecycle, sequential processing, and restart robustness. Bulk Drop of CDC Streams in Backups enables cascading, single-operation drops across tables and topics within a backup collection, improving cleanup consistency. CDC Incremental Backups with NewImage refactors CDC incremental backups to use NewImage (plus enhanced tests and a shop demo), reducing risk and aligning with the latest image-based plumbing. Overall, these changes reduce restore downtime risk, improve backup hygiene, and strengthen end-to-end data lineage in CDC pipelines.
