Inline comments:
In `@docs/user/backup-restore.md`:
- Line 116: Update the fenced file-tree example in the backup and restore
documentation to specify the text language identifier, preserving its contents.
- Line 125: Update the backup and restore documentation to remove the fixed
“80-90%” Pulp compression claims and describe compression as workload-dependent,
including cases where already-compressed artifacts see little or no reduction.
Revise the storage-requirements table to state that Pulp content is compressed
before splitting.
In `@src/playbooks/backup/metadata.obsah.yaml`:
- Around line 40-41: Update the multi-volume archive documentation to state that
split output begins with pulp-content.tar.gz.part0000, while the help or
user-facing sequence may begin at part0001, and reference split’s size format
instead of tar’s --tape-length option.
In `@src/playbooks/restore/metadata.obsah.yaml`:
- Around line 33-34: Update the restore help text to remove the requirement that
the size match the backup’s tar_volume_size, and state that generated archive
parts begin with .part0000 while retaining the existing multipart archive
guidance.
In `@src/roles/backup/tasks/pulp_content.yaml`:
- Line 25: Update the backup pipeline around tar and split to propagate failures
from tar when reading Pulp content or key files, using Bash pipefail or
equivalent producer-status checking. Ensure the task fails instead of reporting
success when tar emits only a partial archive, while preserving normal
successful splitting behavior.
- Line 17: Update the tar backup configuration using the --listed-incremental
option to reference pulp.snar consistently, including when tar_volume_size
enables multi-volume backups, so incremental-base validation and snapshot
copying use the same snapshot file.

backup task unchanged.
- Line 25: Before generating the split archive in the backup task, remove
existing pulp-content.tar.gz.part* files from backup_dir_full while preserving
the directory itself. Ensure cleanup occurs whenever backup_dir_full is reused,
then retain the existing split command and naming pattern.
- Line 11: Update the tar_volume_size validation in the task to require a
non-zero leading digit while preserving the optional unit suffix and rejecting
zero-valued sizes such as 0.

wildcard expansion, extraction options, and conditions.
- Around line 2-16: Update the Pulp archive validation flow, including the
symbols restore_pulp_content_volumes and restore_pulp_archive, to account for
split pulp-content.tar.gz.part* files when the single archive is absent.
Aggregate the split-part sizes, compute the required space from that total, and

I tested the happy path and it's working! Left some comments.
Should we add a negative test for what happens if the split volume isn't complete? I wonder if the user sees something helpful.
I don't suppose some validation that that the tar volume is complete would be helpful. If users are splitting the tar they may be copying these files separately - I wonder if they'd end up with a broken restore if they forgot some of the files.

| - tar_volume_size is not match('^[1-9]\d*([bB]|[KMGTPEZYkmgtpezy][bB]?)$') |
Let's make the unit mandatory, so that --tar-volume-size 5 does not result in 5-byte chunks, exhausting the inodes.

Also, could the validation happen earlier (before services stop)? Somewhere around the preflight checks maybe.
Implement compress-then-split for tar-volume-size - Use tar -czf - | split instead of tar --tape-length -M - Provides full gzip compression PLUS volume splitting - Better for disconnected environments (less total data to transport) - Files named: pulp-content.tar.gz.part0000, part0001, etc. - Restore uses: cat part* | tar -xzf - - Works with incremental backups (.snar files) - Updated documentation with compression benefits and air-gapped workflows Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
