Details
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #2742: Improve error handling for rclone and REST backend over HTTP2
|
||||
|
||||
When retrieving data from the rclone / REST backend while also using HTTP2 restic did not detect
|
||||
when no data was returned at all. This could cause for example the `check` command to report the
|
||||
following error:
|
||||
|
||||
Pack ID does not match, want [...], got e3b0c442
|
||||
|
||||
This has been fixed by correctly detecting and retrying the incomplete download.

|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3111: Fix terminal output redirection for PowerShell
|
||||
|
||||
When redirecting the output of restic using PowerShell on Windows, the output contained
|
||||
terminal escape characters. This has been fixed by properly detecting the terminal type.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, the mintty terminal now shows progress output for the backup command.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3325
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3214: Treat an empty password as a fatal error for repository init
|
||||
|
||||
When attempting to initialize a new repository, if an empty password was supplied, the
|
||||
repository would be created but the init command would return an error with a stack trace. Now,
|
||||
if an empty password is provided, it is treated as a fatal error, and no repository is created.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3214
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3283
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3267: `copy` failed to copy snapshots in rare cases
|
||||
|
||||
The `copy` command could in rare cases fail with the error message `SaveTree(...) returned
|
||||
unexpected id ...`. This has been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
On Linux/BSDs, the error could be caused by backing up symlinks with non-UTF-8 target paths.
|
||||
Note that, due to limitations in the repository format, these are not stored properly and
|
||||
should be avoided if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3267
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3310
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3184: `backup --quiet` no longer prints status information
|
||||
|
||||
A regression in the latest restic version caused the output of `backup --quiet` to contain
|
||||
large amounts of backup progress information when run using an interactive terminal. This is
|
||||
fixed now.
|
||||
|
||||
A workaround for this bug is to run restic as follows: `restic backup --quiet [..] | cat -`.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3184
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3186
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3296: Fix crash of `check --read-data-subset=x%` run for an empty repository
|
||||
|
||||
The command `restic check --read-data-subset=x%` crashed when run for an empty repository.
|
||||
This has been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3296
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3309
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3302: Fix `fdopendir: not a directory` error for local backend
|
||||
|
||||
The `check`, `list packs`, `prune` and `rebuild-index` commands failed for the local backend
|
||||
when the `data` folder in the repository contained files. This has been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3302
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3308
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3334: Print `created new cache` message only on a terminal
|
||||
|
||||
The message `created new cache` was printed even when the output wasn't a terminal. That broke
|
||||
piping `restic dump` output to tar or zip if cache directory didn't exist. The message is now
|
||||
only printed on a terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3334
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3343
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3380: Fix crash of `backup --exclude='**'`
|
||||
|
||||
The exclude filter `**`, which excludes all files, caused restic to crash. This has been
|
||||
corrected.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3380
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3393
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3305: Fix possibly missing backup summary of JSON output in case of error
|
||||
|
||||
When using `--json` output it happened from time to time that the summary output was missing in
|
||||
case an error occurred. This has been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3305
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3439: Correctly handle download errors during `restore`
|
||||
|
||||
Due to a regression in restic 0.12.0, the `restore` command in some cases did not retry download
|
||||
errors and only printed a warning. This has been fixed by retrying incomplete data downloads.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3439
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3449
|
||||
|
||||
* Change #3247: Empty files now have size of 0 in `ls --json` output
|
||||
|
||||
The `ls --json` command used to omit the sizes of empty files in its output. It now reports a size
|
||||
of zero explicitly for regular files, while omitting the size field for all other types.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3247
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3257
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2780: Add release binaries for s390x architecture on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
We've added release binaries for Linux using the s390x architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2780
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3452
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3293: Add `--repository-file2` option to `init` and `copy` command
|
||||
|
||||
The `init` and `copy` command can now be used with the `--repository-file2` option or the
|
||||
`$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable. These to options are in addition to the
|
||||
`--repo2` flag and allow you to read the destination repository from a file.
|
||||
|
||||
Using both `--repository-file` and `--repo2` options resulted in an error for the `copy` or
|
||||
`init` command. The handling of this combination of options has been fixed. A workaround for
|
||||
this issue is to only use `--repo` or `-r` and `--repo2` for `init` or `copy`.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3293
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3294
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3312: Add auto-completion support for fish
|
||||
|
||||
The `generate` command now supports fish auto completion.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3312
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3336: SFTP backend now checks for disk space
|
||||
|
||||
Backing up over SFTP previously spewed multiple generic "failure" messages when the remote
|
||||
disk was full. It now checks for disk space before writing a file and fails immediately with a "no
|
||||
space left on device" message.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3336
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3345
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3377: Add release binaries for Apple Silicon
|
||||
|
||||
We've added release binaries for macOS on Apple Silicon (M1).
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3377
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3394
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3414: Add `--keep-within-hourly` option to restic forget
|
||||
|
||||
The `forget` command allowed keeping a given number of hourly backups or to keep all backups
|
||||
within a given interval, but it was not possible to specify keeping hourly backups within a
|
||||
given interval.
|
||||
|
||||
The new `--keep-within-hourly` option now offers this functionality. Similar options for
|
||||
daily/weekly/monthly/yearly are also implemented, the new options are:
|
||||
|
||||
--keep-within-hourly <1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-daily <1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-weekly
|
||||
<1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-monthly <1y2m3d4h> --keep-within-yearly <1y2m3d4h>

|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3456: Support filtering and specifying untagged snapshots
|
||||
|
||||
It was previously not possible to specify an empty tag with the `--tag` and `--keep-tag`
|
||||
options. This has now been fixed, such that `--tag ''` and `--keep-tag ''` now matches
|
||||
snapshots without tags. This allows e.g. the `snapshots` and `forget` commands to only
|
||||
operate on untagged snapshots.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3456
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3457
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3167: Allow specifying limit of `snapshots` list
|
||||
|
||||
The `--last` option allowed limiting the output of the `snapshots` command to the latest
|
||||
snapshot for each host. The new `--latest n` option allows limiting the output to the latest `n`
|
||||
snapshots.
|
||||
|
||||
This change deprecates the option `--last` in favour of `--latest 1`.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3167
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3426: Optimize read performance of mount command
|
||||
|
||||
Reading large files in a mounted repository may be up to five times faster. This improvement
|
||||
primarily applies to repositories stored at a backend that can be accessed with low latency,
|
||||
like e.g. the local backend.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3426
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3427: `find --pack` fallback to index if data file is missing
|
||||
|
||||
When investigating a repository with missing data files, it might be useful to determine
|
||||
affected snapshots before running `rebuild-index`. Previously, `find --pack pack-id`
|
||||
returned no data as it required accessing the data file. Now, if the necessary data is still
|
||||
available in the repository index, it gets retrieved from there.
|
||||
|
||||
The command now also supports looking up multiple pack files in a single `find` run.
