Small changes
|
* Bugfix #1115: Fix `prune`, only include existing files in indexes
|
||||||
-------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've added code to detect old cache directories of repositories that
|
A bug was found (and corrected) in the index rebuilding after prune, which led to indexes which
|
||||||
haven't been used in a long time, restic now prints a note when it detects
|
include blobs that were not present in the repo any more. There were already checks in place
|
||||||
that such dirs exist. Also, the option `--cleanup-cache` was added to
|
which detected this situation and aborted with an error message. A new run of either `prune` or
|
||||||
automatically remove such directories. That's not a problem because the
|
`rebuild-index` corrected the index files. This is now fixed and a test has been added to detect
|
||||||
cache will be rebuild once a repo is accessed again.
|
this.
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1436
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The cache directory on Windows and Darwin was not correct, instead the
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1115
|
||||||
directory `.cache` was used.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1454
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* By default, the access time for files and dirs is not saved any more. It is
|
* Enhancement #1055: Create subdirs below `data/` for local/sftp backends
|
||||||
not possible to reliably disable updating the access time during a backup,
|
|
||||||
so for the next backup the access time is different again. This means a lot
|
|
||||||
of metadata is saved. If you want to save the access time anyway, pass
|
|
||||||
`--with-atime` to the `backup` command.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1452
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've improved the s3 backend to work with DigitalOcean Spaces.
|
The local and sftp backends now create the subdirs below `data/` on open/init. This way, restic
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1459
|
makes sure that they always exist. This is connected to an issue for the sftp server:
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1457
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The cancellation logic was improved, restic can now shut down cleanly when
|
|
||||||
requested to do so (e.g. via ctrl+c).
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1439
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Important Changes in 0.8.0
|
|
||||||
==========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A vulnerability was found in the restic restorer, which allowed attackers in
|
|
||||||
special circumstances to restore files to a location outside of the target
|
|
||||||
directory. Due to the circumstances we estimate this to be a low-risk
|
|
||||||
vulnerability, but urge all users to upgrade to the latest version of restic.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Exploiting the vulnerability requires a Linux/Unix system which saves
|
|
||||||
backups via restic and a Windows systems which restores files from the repo.
|
|
||||||
In addition, the attackers need to be able to create create files with
|
|
||||||
arbitrary names which are then saved to the restic repo. For example, by
|
|
||||||
creating a file named "..\test.txt" (which is a perfectly legal filename on
|
|
||||||
Linux) and restoring a snapshot containing this file on Windows, it would be
|
|
||||||
written to the parent of the target directory.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We'd like to thank Tyler Spivey for reporting this responsibly!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1445
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The s3 backend used the subdir `restic` within a bucket if no explicit path
|
|
||||||
after the bucket name was specified. Since this version, restic does not use
|
|
||||||
this default path any more. If you created a repo on s3 in a bucket without
|
|
||||||
specifying a path within the bucket, you need to add `/restic` at the end of
|
|
||||||
the repository specification to access your repo: `s3:s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/restic`
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1292
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1437
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've added a local cache for metadata so that restic doesn't need to load
|
|
||||||
all metadata (snapshots, indexes, ...) from the repo each time it starts. By
|
|
||||||
default the cache is active, but there's a new global option `--no-cache`
|
|
||||||
that can be used to disable the cache. By deafult, the cache a standard
|
|
||||||
cache folder for the OS, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir`. The
|
|
||||||
cache will automatically populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they
|
|
||||||
are loaded. Cache directories for repos that haven't been used recently can
|
|
||||||
automatically be removed by restic with the `--cleanup-cache` option.

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1436
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A related change was to by default create pack files in the repo that
|
|
||||||
contain either data or metadata, not both mixed together. This allows easy
|
|
||||||
caching of only the metadata files. The next run of `restic prune` will
|
|
||||||
untangle mixed files automatically.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1265
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The Google Cloud Storage backend no longer requires the service account to
|
|
||||||
have the `storage.buckets.get` permission ("Storage Admin" role) in `restic
|
|
||||||
init` if the bucket already exists.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1281
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Added support for rate limiting through `--limit-upload` and
|
|
||||||
`--limit-download` flags.

* Failed backend requests are now automatically retried.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1353
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've added the `dump` command which prints a file from a snapshot to
|
|
||||||
stdout. This can e.g. be used to restore files read with `backup --stdin`.
|
|
||||||

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1346
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Small changes
|
|
||||||
-------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The directory structure in the fuse mount now exposes a symlink `latest`
|
|
||||||
which points to the latest snapshot in that particular directory.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1249
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The option `--compact` was added to the `forget` command to provide the same
|
|
||||||
compact view as the `snapshots` command.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1269
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've re-enabled a workaround for `minio-go` (the library we're using to
|
|
||||||
access s3 backends), this reduces memory usage.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1256
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1267
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The sftp backend now prompts for the password if a password is necessary for
|
|
||||||
login.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/448
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1270
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `generate` command has been added, which replaces the now removed
|
|
||||||
commands `manpage` and `autocomplete`. This release of restic contains the
|
|
||||||
most recent manpages in `doc/man` and the auto-completion files for bash and
|
|
||||||
zsh in `doc/bash-completion.sh` and `doc/zsh-completion.zsh`
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1274
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1282
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A bug was discovered in the library we're using to access Backblaze, it now
|
|
||||||
reuses already established TCP connections which should be a lot faster and
|
|
||||||
not cause network failures any more.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1291
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1301
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Another bug in the `forget` command caused `prune` not to be run when
|
|
||||||
`--prune` was specified without a policy, e.g. when only snapshot IDs that
|
|
||||||
should be forgotten are listed manually. This is corrected now.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1317
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `check` command now explicetly prints `No errors were found` when no
|
|
||||||
errors could be found.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1319
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1303
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The fuse mount now has an `ids` subdirectory which contains the snapshots
|
|
||||||
below their (short) IDs.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1102
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1299
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1320
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `backup` command was improved, it now caches the result of excludes for
|
|
||||||
a directory.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1271
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1326
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've added the `--cacert` option which can be used to pass one (or more) CA
|
|
||||||
certificates to restic. These are used in addition to the system CA
|
|
||||||
certificates to verify HTTPS certificates (e.g. for the REST backend).
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1114
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1276
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* When the list of files/dirs to be saved is read from a file with
|
|
||||||
`--files-from`, comment lines (starting with `#`) are now ignored.
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
Important Changes in 0.7.3
|
|
||||||
==========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* For large backups stored in Google Cloud Storage, the `prune` command fails
|
|
||||||
because listing only returns the first 1000 files. This has been corrected,
|
|
||||||
no data is lost in the process. In addition, a plausibility check was added
|
|
||||||
to `prune`.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1247
|
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Important Changes in 0.7.2
|
|
||||||
==========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've added an official docker image and a Dockerfile to build this image in
|
|
||||||
`docker/`.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1061
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The git repository layout was changed to resemble the layout typically used
|
|
||||||
in Go projects, we're not using `gb` for building restic any more and
|
|
||||||
vendoring the dependencies is now taken care of by `dep`.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1126
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We now support saving backups on Google Cloud Storage.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1134
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1052
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/211
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've added support for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as a restic backend.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1149
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1059
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/609
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* In the course of supporting Microsoft Azure Blobe Storage Go 1.8 is now a
|
|
||||||
requirement to build restic.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `restore` command has been improved: When dirs are excluded (or not
|
|
||||||
included) in a restore, they are not loaded from the repo any more.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1044
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Name collisions are now resolved by appending a counter.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Small changes
|
|
||||||
-------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `key` command now prompts for a password even if the original password
|
|
||||||
to access a repo has been specified via the `RESTIC_PASSWORD` environment
|
|
||||||
variable or a password file.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1132
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1133
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Properly report errors when reading files with exclude patterns.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1144
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We now automatically generate man pages for all restic commands, see the
|
|
||||||
subdir `doc/man`.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/697
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1147
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `key remove` command was corrected and now works as documented.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1164
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* When a restic command other than `init` is used with a local repository and
|
|
||||||
the repository directory does not exist, restic creates the directory
|
|
||||||
structure. That's an error, only the `init` command should create the dir.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1167
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1182
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Restic now prints stats on all BSD systems (not only on darwin) when SIGINFO
|
|
||||||
is received (usually when ctrl+t is pressed).
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1203
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1082#issuecomment-326279920
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Since a few releases restic had the ability to write profiling files for
|
|
||||||
memory and CPU usage when `debug` is enabled. It was discovered that when
|
|
||||||
restic is interrupted (ctrl+c is pressed), the proper shutdown hook is not
|
|
||||||
run. This is now corrected.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1191
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* A new option `--exclude-caches` was added that allows excluding cache
|
|
||||||
directories (that are tagged as such). This is a special case of a more
|
|
||||||
generic option `--exclude-if-present` which excludes a directory if a file
|
|
||||||
with a specific name (and contents) is present.

||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `forget` command now has an option `--group-by` that allows flexible
|
|
||||||
grouping policies.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1196
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The date and time restic records for a new backup can now be specified
|
|
||||||
externally by passing `--time` to the `backup` command.
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1205
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The option `--compact` was added to the `snapshots` command to get a better
|
|
||||||
overview of the snapshots in a repo. It limits each snapshot to a single
|
|
||||||
line.

Important Changes in 0.7.1
|
|
||||||
==========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The `migrate` command for chaning the `s3legacy` layout to the `default`
|
|
||||||
layout for s3 backends has been improved: It can now be restarted with
|
|
||||||
`restic migrate --force s3_layout` and automatically retries operations on
|
|
||||||
error.

more. There were already checks in place which detected this situation and

aborted with an error message. A new run of either `prune` or

|

`rebuild-index` corrected the index files. This is now fixed and a test has

For the s3 backend we're back to using the high-level API the s3 client library for uploading
|

|
data, a few users reported dropped connections (which the library will automatically retry

now).

==========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is mostly a bugfix release and only contains small changes:
|
The `prune` command has been improved and will now remove invalid pack files, for example files
|
||||||
|
that have not been uploaded completely because a backup was interrupted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* We've fixed a bug where `rebuild-index` would corrupt the index when used

https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1029

with the s3 backend together with the `default` layout. This is not the
|

|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement #636: Add dirs `tags` and `hosts` to fuse mount
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fuse mount now has two more directories: `tags` contains a subdir for each tag, which in turn
|
||||||
|
contains only the snapshots that have this tag. The subdir `hosts` contains a subdir for each
|
||||||
|
host that has a snapshot, and the subdir contains the snapshots for that host.

Backends based on HTTP now allow several idle connections in parallel. This is especially
|
||||||
|
important for the REST backend, which (when used with a local server) may create a lot
|

|
connections and exhaust available ports quickly.

* Enhancement #962: Improve memory and runtime for the s3 backend
|

|
|
||||||
|
We've updated the library used for accessing s3, switched to using a lower level API and added
|
||||||
|
caching for some requests. This lead to a decrease in memory usage and a great speedup. In
|
||||||
|
addition, we added benchmark functions for all backends, so we can track improvements over
|
||||||
|
time. The Continuous Integration test service we're using (Travis) now runs the s3 backend
|
||||||
|
tests not only against a Minio server, but also against the Amazon s3 live service, so we should
|
||||||

be notified of any regressions much sooner.
