No integration tests for full backup workflow

Priority: High
Component: tests/
Type: Testing

Description

While some unit tests exist, there are no integration tests that verify the complete backup workflow from start to finish.

Missing Integration Tests

  1. Full backup cycle

    • Create initial backup
    • Modify files
    • Create second backup
    • Verify hardlinks are correct
    • Verify changed files are in delta dir
  2. Retention policy integration

    • Create multiple backups over time
    • Run cleanup
    • Verify correct backups remain
  3. Recovery testing

    • Create backup
    • Restore from backup
    • Verify all files restored correctly
  4. Error recovery

    • Simulate failures mid-backup
    • Verify incomplete backups are handled
    • Verify locks are released
  5. CLI integration

    • Test all command-line flags
    • Test various source configurations
    • Test dry-run mode

Proposed Solution

Add tests/test_integration.py with real filesystem operations in temporary directories.

Impact

High - No verification that the system works end-to-end.
