# Session 0012: No-Backup Option for Promote & Sync

**Date:** 2026-02-26
**Status:** Completed
**Origin:** MDF Webseiten session 0055

---

## Work Done

- [x] Added "Skip safety backup" checkbox to promote modal and sync modal
  - Backend: `no_backup` query param on `promote.py` and `sync_data.py`
  - Frontend: amber-colored checkbox, hidden for lifecycle operations (restart/rebuild/recreate)
  - Deployed and verified (200 OK)

## Key Decisions / Learnings

- Safety backup before promote/sync is the default — skip is opt-in, not opt-out
- Amber color signals caution without being as severe as red
- The checkbox is only shown for promote/sync, not for container lifecycle ops (different risk profile)
- Useful when iterating quickly on dev/int where the overhead of a safety backup is unnecessary
