Enhancement: Report permanent/fatal backend errors earlier
2020-12-17 20:47:28 +00:00
When encountering errors in reading from or writing to storage backends,
restic retries the failing operation up to nine times (for a total of ten
attempts). It used to retry all backend operations, but now detects some
permanent error conditions so that it can report fatal errors earlier.
2020-12-17 20:47:28 +00:00
Permanent failures include local disks being full, SSH connections
dropping and permission errors.
