+# clickhouse-backup is a backup tool (backupbot pre/post-hooks: `clickhouse-backup create/restore`).

-# clickhouse-backup is the BACKUP tool (backupbot pre/post-hooks: `clickhouse-backup create/restore`).
-# It is NOT required for clickhouse-SERVER (`/entrypoint.sh`) to run. The published recipe fetched it
-# with `set -ex` + a single silenced no-retry wget to ephemeral /tmp, so ANY transient failure of the
-# 22 MB GitHub download (rate-limit / network) exited the container BEFORE the server started → swarm
-# restarted it → re-downloaded → amplified the throttle → crash-loop → deploy timeout (cc-ci Q4.7).
-#
-# Hardening (no behaviour change when the download succeeds first try):
-#   - cache the binary on the PERSISTENT clickhouse data volume (/var/lib/clickhouse) so it is fetched
+# to make the download smoother:
+#   - cache the binary on the persistent clickhouse data volume (/var/lib/clickhouse) so it is fetched
 #     at most once and reused on every container restart (no re-download amplification);
-#   - retry with backoff to ride out transient GitHub failures;
-#   - un-silenced so a failure is diagnosable in `docker service logs`.
-#
-# Policy: clickhouse-backup is REQUIRED. If it cannot be installed after all retries the entrypoint
-# aborts (non-zero exit) and the server is NOT started — we deliberately fail the deploy loudly rather
-# than come up silently without backup/restore capability.
