Details
-------
* Bugfix #1863: Report correct number of directories processed by backup
The directory statistics calculation was fixed to report the actual number of processed
directories instead of always zero.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1863
* Bugfix #2254: Fix tar issues when dumping `/`
We've fixed an issue with dumping either `/` or files on the first sublevel e.g. `/foo` to tar.
This also fixes tar dumping issues on Windows where this issue could also happen.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2254
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2357
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2255
* Bugfix #2281: Handle format verbs like '%' properly in `find` output
The JSON or "normal" output of the `find` command can now deal with file names that contain
substrings which the Golang `fmt` package considers "format verbs" like `%s`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2281
* Bugfix #2298: Do not hang when run as a background job
Restic did hang on exit while restoring the terminal configuration when it was started as a
background job, for example using `restic ... &`. This has been fixed by only restoring the
terminal configuration when restic is interrupted while reading a password from the
terminal.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2298
* Bugfix #2389: Fix mangled json output of backup command
We've fixed a race condition in the json output of the backup command that could cause multiple
lines to get mixed up. We've also ensured that the backup summary is printed last.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2389
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2545
* Bugfix #2390: Refresh lock timestamp
Long-running operations did not refresh lock timestamp, resulting in locks becoming stale.
This is now fixed.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2390
* Bugfix #2429: Backup --json reports total_bytes_processed as 0
We've fixed the json output of total_bytes_processed. The non-json output was already fixed
with pull request #2138 but left the json output untouched.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2429
* Bugfix #2469: Fix incorrect bytes stats in `diff` command
In some cases, the wrong number of bytes (e.g. 16777215.998 TiB) were reported by the `diff`
command. This is now fixed.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2469
* Bugfix #2518: Do not crash with Synology NAS sftp server
It was found that when restic is used to store data on an sftp server on a Synology NAS with a
relative path (one which does not start with a slash), it may go into an endless loop trying to
create directories on the server. We've fixed this bug by using a function in the sftp library
instead of our own implementation.
The bug was discovered because the Synology sftp server behaves erratic with non-absolute
path (e.g. `home/restic-repo`). This can be resolved by just using an absolute path instead
(`/home/restic-repo`). We've also added a paragraph in the FAQ.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2518
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2363
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2530
* Bugfix #2531: Fix incorrect size calculation in `stats --mode restore-size`
The restore-size mode of stats was counting hard-linked files as if they were independent.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2531
* Bugfix #2537: Fix incorrect file counts in `stats --mode restore-size`
The restore-size mode of stats was failing to count empty directories and some files with hard
links.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2537
* Bugfix #2592: SFTP backend supports IPv6 addresses
The SFTP backend now supports IPv6 addresses natively, without relying on aliases in the
external SSH configuration.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2592
* Bugfix #2607: Honor RESTIC_CACHE_DIR environment variable on Mac and Windows
On Mac and Windows, the RESTIC_CACHE_DIR environment variable was ignored. This variable can
now be used on all platforms to set the directory where restic stores caches.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2607
* Bugfix #2668: Don't abort the stats command when data blobs are missing
Runing the stats command in the blobs-per-file mode on a repository with missing data blobs
previously resulted in a crash.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2668
* Bugfix #2674: Add stricter prune error checks
Additional checks were added to the prune command in order to improve resiliency to backend,
hardware and/or networking issues. The checks now detect a few more cases where such outside
factors could potentially cause data loss.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2674
* Bugfix #2899: Fix possible crash in the progress bar of check --read-data
We've fixed a possible crash while displaying the progress bar for the check --read-data
command. The crash occurred when the length of the progress bar status exceeded the terminal
width, which only happened for very narrow terminal windows.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2899
https://forum.restic.net/t/restic-rclone-pcloud-connection-issues/2963/15
* Change #2482: Remove vendored dependencies
We've removed the vendored dependencies (in the subdir `vendor/`). When building restic, the
Go compiler automatically fetches the dependencies. It will also cryptographically verify
that the correct code has been fetched by using the hashes in `go.sum` (see the link to the
documentation below).
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2482
https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Module_downloading_and_verification
* Change #2546: Return exit code 3 when failing to backup all source data
The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot could be created
successfully, even if some of the source files could not be read (in which case the snapshot
would contain the rest of the files).
This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete backups by looking at
the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit codes for the backup command:
- 0 when the command was successful - 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created) - 3 when
some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/956
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2064
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2526
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2364
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2546
* Change #2600: Update dependencies, require Go >= 1.13
Restic now requires Go to be at least 1.13. This allows simplifications in the build process and
removing workarounds.
This is also probably the last version of restic still supporting mounting repositories via
fuse on macOS. The library we're using for fuse does not support macOS any more and osxfuse is not
open source any more.
https://github.com/bazil/fuse/issues/224
https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/issues/590
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2600
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2852
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2927
* Change #1597: Honor the --no-lock flag in the mount command
The mount command now does not lock the repository if given the --no-lock flag. This allows to
mount repositories which are archived on a read only backend/filesystem.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1597
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2821
* Enhancement #1570: Support specifying multiple host flags for various commands
Previously commands didn't take more than one `--host` or `-H` argument into account, which
could be limiting with e.g. the `forget` command.
The `dump`, `find`, `forget`, `ls`, `mount`, `restore`, `snapshots`, `stats` and `tag`
commands will now take into account multiple `--host` and `-H` flags.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1570
* Enhancement #1680: Optimize `restic mount`
We've optimized the FUSE implementation used within restic. `restic mount` is now more
responsive and uses less memory.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1680
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2587
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2787
* Enhancement #2072: Display snapshot date when using `restic find`
Added the respective snapshot date to the output of `restic find`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2072
* Enhancement #2175: Allow specifying user and host when creating keys
When adding a new key to the repository, the username and hostname for the new key can be
specified on the command line. This allows overriding the defaults, for example if you would
prefer to use the FQDN to identify the host or if you want to add keys for several different hosts
without having to run the key add command on those hosts.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2175
* Enhancement #2277: Add support for ppc64le
Adds support for ppc64le, the processor architecture from IBM.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2277
* Enhancement #2395: Ignore sync errors when operation not supported by local filesystem
The local backend has been modified to work with filesystems which doesn't support the `sync`
operation. This operation is normally used by restic to ensure that data files are fully
written to disk before continuing.
For these limited filesystems, saving a file in the backend would previously fail with an
"operation not supported" error. This error is now ignored, which means that e.g. an SMB mount
on macOS can now be used as storage location for a repository.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2395
https://forum.restic.net/t/sync-errors-on-mac-over-smb/1859
* Enhancement #2427: Add flag `--iexclude-file` to backup command
The backup command now supports the flag `--iexclude-file` which is a case-insensitive
version of `--exclude-file`.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2427
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2898
* Enhancement #2569: Support excluding files by their size
The `backup` command now supports the `--exclude-larger-than` option to exclude files which
are larger than the specified maximum size. This can for example be useful to exclude
unimportant files with a large file size.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2569
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2914
* Enhancement #2571: Self-heal missing file parts during backup of unchanged files
We've improved the resilience of restic to certain types of repository corruption.
For files that are unchanged since the parent snapshot, the backup command now verifies that
all parts of the files still exist in the repository. Parts that are missing, e.g. from a damaged
repository, are backed up again. This verification was already run for files that were
modified since the parent snapshot, but is now also done for unchanged files.
Note that restic will not backup file parts that are referenced in the index but where the actual
data is not present on disk, as this situation can only be detected by restic check. Please
ensure that you run `restic check` regularly.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2571
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2827
* Enhancement #2858: Support filtering snapshots by tag and path in the stats command
We've added filtering snapshots by `--tag tagList` and by `--path path` to the `stats`
command. This includes filtering of only 'latest' snapshots or all snapshots in a repository.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2858
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2859
https://forum.restic.net/t/stats-for-a-host-and-filtered-snapshots/3020
* Enhancement #323: Add command for copying snapshots between repositories
We've added a copy command, allowing you to copy snapshots from one repository to another.
Note that this process will have to read (download) and write (upload) the entire snapshot(s)
due to the different encryption keys used on the source and destination repository. Also, the
transferred files are not re-chunked, which may break deduplication between files already
stored in the destination repo and files copied there using this command.
To fully support deduplication between repositories when the copy command is used, the init
command now supports the `--copy-chunker-params` option, which initializes the new
repository with identical parameters for splitting files into chunks as an already existing
repository. This allows copied snapshots to be equally deduplicated in both repositories.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/323
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2606
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2928
* Enhancement #551: Use optimized library for hash calculation of file chunks
We've switched the library used to calculate the hashes of file chunks, which are used for
deduplication, to the optimized Minio SHA-256 implementation.
Depending on the CPU it improves the hashing throughput by 10-30%. Modern x86 CPUs with the SHA
Extension should be about two to three times faster.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/551
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2709
* Enhancement #2195: Simplify and improve restore performance
Significantly improves restore performance of large files (i.e. 50M+):
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2074
https://forum.restic.net/t/restore-using-rclone-gdrive-backend-is-slow/1112/8
https://forum.restic.net/t/degraded-restore-performance-s3-backend/1400
Fixes "not enough cache capacity" error during restore:
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2244
NOTE: This new implementation does not guarantee order in which blobs are written to the target
files and, for example, the last blob of a file can be written to the file before any of the
preceeding file blobs. It is therefore possible to have gaps in the data written to the target
files if restore fails or interrupted by the user.
The implementation will try to preallocate space for the restored files on the filesystem to
prevent file fragmentation. This ensures good read performance for large files, like for
example VM images. If preallocating space is not supported by the filesystem, then this step is
silently skipped.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2195
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2893
* Enhancement #2328: Improve speed of check command
We've improved the check command to traverse trees only once independent of whether they are
contained in multiple snapshots. The check command is now much faster for repositories with a
large number of snapshots.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2284
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2328
* Enhancement #2423: Support user@domain parsing as user
Added the ability for user@domain-like users to be authenticated over SFTP servers.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2423
* Enhancement #2576: Improve the chunking algorithm
We've updated the chunker library responsible for splitting files into smaller blocks. It
should improve the chunking throughput by 5-15% depending on the CPU.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2820
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2576
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2845
* Enhancement #2598: Improve speed of diff command
We've improved the performance of the diff command when comparing snapshots with similar
content. It should run up to twice as fast as before.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2598
* Enhancement #2599: Slightly reduce memory usage of prune and stats commands
The prune and the stats command kept directory identifiers in memory twice while searching for
used blobs.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2599
* Enhancement #2733: S3 backend: Add support for WebIdentityTokenFile
We've added support for EKS IAM roles for service accounts feature to the S3 backend.
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2703
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2733
* Enhancement #2773: Optimize handling of new index entries
Restic now uses less memory for backups which add a lot of data, e.g. large initial backups. In
addition, we've improved the stability in some edge cases.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2773
* Enhancement #2781: Reduce memory consumption of in-memory index
We've improved how the index is stored in memory. This change can reduce memory usage for large
repositories by up to 50% (depending on the operation).
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2781
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2812
* Enhancement #2786: Optimize `list blobs` command
We've changed the implementation of `list blobs` which should be now a bit faster and consume
almost no memory even for large repositories.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2786
* Enhancement #2790: Optimized file access in restic mount
Reading large (> 100GiB) files from restic mountpoints is now faster, and the speedup is
greater for larger files.
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2790
* Enhancement #2840: Speed-up file deletion in forget, prune and rebuild-index
We've sped up the file deletion for the commands forget, prune and rebuild-index, especially
for remote repositories. Deletion was sequential before and is now run in parallel.
