Details
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #1106: Never lock repository for `list locks`
|
||||
|
||||
The `list locks` command previously locked to the repository by default. This had the problem
|
||||
that it wouldn't work for an exclusively locked repository and that the command would also
|
||||
display its own lock file which can be confusing.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, the `list locks` command never locks the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1106
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3665
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #2345: Make cache crash-resistant and usable by multiple concurrent processes
|
||||
|
||||
The restic cache directory (`RESTIC_CACHE_DIR`) could end up in a broken state in the event of
|
||||
restic (or the OS) crashing. This is now less likely to occur as files are downloaded to a
|
||||
temporary location before being moved to their proper location.
|
||||
|
||||
This also allows multiple concurrent restic processes to operate on a single repository
|
||||
without conflicts. Previously, concurrent operations could cause segfaults because the
|
||||
processes saw each other's partially downloaded files.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2345
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2838
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #2452: Improve error handling of repository locking
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, when the lock refresh failed to delete the old lock file, it forgot about the newly
|
||||
created one. Instead it continued trying to delete the old (usually no longer existing) lock
|
||||
file and thus over time lots of lock files accumulated. This has now been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2452
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2473
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2562
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3512
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #2738: Don't print progress for `backup --json --quiet`
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the text output, the `--json` output format still printed progress information even in
|
||||
`--quiet` mode. This has now been fixed by always disabling the progress output in quiet mode.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2738
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3264
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3382: Make `check` command honor `RESTIC_CACHE_DIR` environment variable
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, the `check` command didn't honor the `RESTIC_CACHE_DIR` environment variable,
|
||||
which caused problems in certain system/usage configurations. This has now been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3382
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3474
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3518: Make `copy` command honor `--no-lock` for source repository
|
||||
|
||||
The `copy` command previously did not respect the `--no-lock` option for the source
|
||||
repository, causing failures with read-only storage backends. This has now been fixed such
|
||||
that the option is now respected.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3518
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3589
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3556: Fix hang with Backblaze B2 on SSL certificate authority error
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, if a request failed with an SSL unknown certificate authority error, the B2
|
||||
backend retried indefinitely and restic would appear to hang.
|
||||
|
||||
This has now been fixed and restic instead fails with an error message.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3556
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2355
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3571
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3601: Fix rclone backend prematurely exiting when receiving SIGINT on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, pressing Ctrl+C in a Windows console where restic was running with rclone as the
|
||||
backend would cause rclone to exit prematurely due to getting a `SIGINT` signal at the same time
|
||||
as restic. Restic would then wait for a long time for time with "unexpected EOF" and "rclone
|
||||
stdio connection already closed" errors.
|
||||
|
||||
This has now been fixed by restic starting the rclone process detached from the console restic
|
||||
runs in (similar to starting processes in a new process group on Linux), which enables restic to
|
||||
gracefully clean up rclone (which now never gets the `SIGINT`).
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3601
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3602
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3667: The `mount` command now reports symlinks sizes
|
||||
|
||||
Symlinks used to have size zero in restic mountpoints, confusing some third-party tools. They
|
||||
now have a size equal to the byte length of their target path, as required by POSIX.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3667
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3668
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3488: `rebuild-index` failed if an index file was damaged
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, the `rebuild-index` command would fail with an error if an index file was damaged
|
||||
or truncated. This has now been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
On older restic versions, a (slow) workaround is to use `rebuild-index --read-all-packs` or
|
||||
to manually delete the damaged index.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3488
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3591: Fix handling of `prune --max-repack-size=0`
|
||||
|
||||
Restic ignored the `--max-repack-size` option when passing a value of 0. This has now been
|
||||
fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
As a workaround, `--max-repack-size=1` can be used with older versions of restic.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3591
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix #3619: Avoid choosing parent snapshots newer than time of new snapshot
|
||||
|
||||
The `backup` command, when a `--parent` was not provided, previously chose the most recent
|
||||
matching snapshot as the parent snapshot. However, this didn't make sense when the user passed
|
||||
`--time` to create a new snapshot older than the most recent snapshot.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, `backup` now chooses the most recent snapshot which is not newer than the
|
||||
snapshot-being-created's timestamp, to avoid any time travel.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3619
|
||||
|
||||
* Change #3641: Ignore parent snapshot for `backup --stdin`
|
||||
|
||||
Restic uses a parent snapshot to speed up directory scanning when performing backups, but this
|
||||
only wasted time and memory when the backup source is stdin (using the `--stdin` option of the
|
||||
`backup` command), since no directory scanning is performed in this case.
|
||||
|
||||
Snapshots made with `backup --stdin` no longer have a parent snapshot, which allows restic to
|
||||
skip some startup operations and saves a bit of resources.
|
||||
|
||||
The `--parent` option is still available for `backup --stdin`, but is now ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3641
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3645
|
||||
|
||||
* Change #3519: Require Go 1.14 or newer
|
||||
|
||||
Restic now requires Go 1.14 to build. This allows it to use new standard library features
|
||||
instead of an external dependency.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3519
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #1542: Add `--dry-run`/`-n` option to `backup` command
|
||||
|
||||
Testing exclude filters and other configuration options was error prone as wrong filters
|
||||
could cause files to be uploaded unintentionally. It was also not possible to estimate
|
||||
beforehand how much data would be uploaded.
|
||||
|
||||
The `backup` command now has a `--dry-run`/`-n` option, which performs all the normal steps of
|
||||
a backup without actually writing anything to the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Passing -vv will log information about files that would be added, allowing for verification of
|
||||
source and exclusion options before running the real backup.
|
||||

||||

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3210
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3300
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2202: Add upload checksum for Azure, GS, S3 and Swift backends
|
||||
|
||||
Previously only the B2 and partially the Swift backends verified the integrity of uploaded
|
||||
(encrypted) files. The verification works by informing the backend about the expected hash of
|
||||
the uploaded file. The backend then verifies the upload and thereby rules out any data
|
||||
corruption during upload.
|
||||
|
||||
We have now added upload checksums for the Azure, GS, S3 and Swift backends, which besides
|
||||
integrity checking for uploads also means that restic can now be used to store backups in S3
|
||||
buckets which have Object Lock enabled.

||||

|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3246
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #233: Support negative include/exclude patterns
|
||||
|
||||
If a pattern starts with an exclamation mark and it matches a file that was previously matched by
|
||||
a regular pattern, the match is cancelled. Notably, this can be used with `--exclude-file` to
|
||||
cancel the exclusion of some files.
|
||||
|
||||
It works similarly to `.gitignore`, with the same limitation; Once a directory is excluded, it
|
||||
is not possible to include files inside the directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Example of use as an exclude pattern for the `backup` command:
|
||||
|
||||
$HOME/**/* !$HOME/Documents !$HOME/code !$HOME/.emacs.d !$HOME/games # [...]
|
||||
node_modules *~ *.o *.lo *.pyc # [...] $HOME/code/linux/* !$HOME/code/linux/.git # [...]
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/233
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2311
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2388: Add warning for S3 if partial credentials are provided
|
||||
|
||||
Previously restic did not notify about incomplete credentials when using the S3 backend,
|
||||
instead just reporting access denied.
|
||||
|
||||
Restic now checks that both the AWS key ID and secret environment variables are set before
|
||||
connecting to the remote server, and reports an error if not.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2388
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3532
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2508: Support JSON output and quiet mode for the `diff` command
|
||||
|
||||
The `diff` command now supports outputting machine-readable output in JSON format. To enable
|
||||
this, pass the `--json` option to the command. To only print the summary and suppress detailed
|
||||
output, pass the `--quiet` option.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2508
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3592
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2656: Add flag to disable TLS verification for self-signed certificates
|
||||
|
||||
There is now an `--insecure-tls` global option in restic, which disables TLS verification for
|
||||
self-signed certificates in order to support some development workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2656
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2657
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3003: Atomic uploads for the SFTP backend
|
||||
|
||||
The SFTP backend did not upload files atomically. An interrupted upload could leave an
|
||||
incomplete file behind which could prevent restic from accessing the repository. This has now
|
||||
been fixed and uploads in the SFTP backend are done atomically.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3003
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3524
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3127: Add xattr (extended attributes) support for Solaris
|
||||
|
||||
Restic now supports xattr for the Solaris operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3127
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3628
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3464: Skip lock creation on `forget` if `--no-lock` and `--dry-run`
|
||||
|
||||
Restic used to silently ignore the `--no-lock` option of the `forget` command.
|
||||
|
||||
It now skips creation of lock file in case both `--dry-run` and `--no-lock` are specified. If
|
||||
`--no-lock` option is specified without `--dry-run`, restic prints a warning message to
|
||||
stderr.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3464
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3623
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3490: Support random subset by size in `check --read-data-subset`
|
||||
|
||||
The `--read-data-subset` option of the `check` command now supports a third way of specifying
|
||||
the subset to check, namely `nS` where `n` is a size in bytes with suffix `S` as k/K, m/M, g/G or
|
||||
t/T.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3490
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3548
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3541: Improve handling of temporary B2 delete errors
|
||||
|
||||
Deleting files on B2 could sometimes fail temporarily, which required restic to retry the
|
||||
delete operation. In some cases the file was deleted nevertheless, causing the retries and
|
||||
ultimately the restic command to fail. This has now been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3541
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3544
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3542: Add file mode in symbolic notation to `ls --json`
|
||||
|
||||
The `ls --json` command now provides the file mode in symbolic notation (using the
|
||||
`permissions` key), aligned with `find --json`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
https://forum.restic.net/t/restic-ls-understanding-file-mode-with-json/4371
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2594: Speed up the `restore --verify` command
|
||||
|
||||
The `--verify` option lets the `restore` command verify the file content after it has restored
|
||||
a snapshot. The performance of this operation has now been improved by up to a factor of two.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2594
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2816: The `backup` command no longer updates file access times on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
When reading files during backup, restic used to cause the operating system to update the
|
||||
files' access times. Note that this did not apply to filesystems with disabled file access
|
||||
times.
|
||||
|
||||
Restic now instructs the operating system not to update the file access time, if the user
|
||||
running restic is the file owner or has root permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2816
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #2880: Make `recover` collect only unreferenced trees
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, the `recover` command used to generate a snapshot containing *all* root trees,
|
||||
even those which were already referenced by a snapshot.
|
||||
|
||||
This has been improved such that it now only processes trees not already referenced by any
|
||||
snapshot.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2880
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3429: Verify that new or modified keys are stored correctly
|
||||
|
||||
When adding a new key or changing the password of a key, restic used to just create the new key (and
|
||||
remove the old one, when changing the password). There was no verification that the new key was
|
||||
stored correctly and works properly. As the repository cannot be decrypted without a valid key
|
||||
file, this could in rare cases cause the repository to become inaccessible.
|
||||
|
||||
Restic now checks that new key files actually work before continuing. This can protect against
|
||||
some (rare) cases of hardware or storage problems.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3429
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3436: Improve local backend's resilience to (system) crashes
|
||||
|
||||
Restic now ensures that files stored using the `local` backend are created atomically (that
|
||||
is, files are either stored completely or not at all). This ensures that no incomplete files are
|
||||
left behind even if restic is terminated while writing a file.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, restic now tries to ensure that the directory in the repository which contains a
|
||||
newly uploaded file is also written to disk. This can prevent missing files if the system
|
||||
crashes or the disk is not properly unmounted.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3436
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3508: Cache blobs read by the `dump` command
|
||||
|
||||
When dumping a file using the `dump` command, restic did not cache blobs in any way, so even
|
||||
consecutive runs of the same blob were loaded from the repository again and again, slowing down
|
||||
the dump.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, the caching mechanism already used by the `fuse` command is also used by the `dump`
|
||||
command. This makes dumping much faster, especially for sparse files.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3508
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3511: Support configurable timeout for the rclone backend
|
||||
|
||||
A slow rclone backend could cause restic to time out while waiting for the repository to open.
|
||||
Restic now offers an `-o rclone.timeout` option to make this timeout configurable.
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3511
|
||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/3514
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhancement #3593: Improve `copy` performance by parallelizing IO
|
||||
|
||||
Restic copy previously only used a single thread for copying blobs between repositories,
|
||||
which resulted in limited performance when copying small blobs to/from a high latency backend
|
||||
(i.e. any remote backend, especially b2).
|
||||
