github.com/pkg/errors is no longer getting updates, because Go 1.13
went with the more flexible errors.{As,Is} function. Use those instead:
errors from pkg/errors already support the Unwrap interface used by 1.13
error handling. Also:
* check for io.EOF with a straight ==. That value should not be wrapped,
and the chunker (whose error is checked in the cases changed) does not
wrap it.
* Give custom Error methods pointer receivers, so there's no ambiguity
when type-switching since the value type will no longer implement error.
* Make restic.ErrAlreadyLocked private, and rename it to
alreadyLockedError to match the stdlib convention that error type
names end in Error.
* Same with rest.ErrIsNotExist => rest.notExistError.
* Make s3.Backend.IsAccessDenied a private function.
Tree packs are cached locally at clients and thus benefit a lot from
being compressed. Ensure this be having prune always repack pack files
containing uncompressed trees.
The `stats` command checks inodes to not count hardlinked files multiple
times into the restore size. This check applies across all snapshots and
not only within snapshots. As a result the result size was far too low
when calculating it for multiple snapshots and it would vary depending
on the order in which snapshots were listed.
The new option allows prune to operate with nearly no scratch space by only removing
no longer necessary pack files and first deleting the index before
rebuilding it. By first deleting the index it becomes safe to just
delete no longer necessary pack files. However, as a downside there's
now the risk that the repository becomes inaccessible if prune fails.
To recover from that problem a user might have to manually delete the
repository index and then run (a full) `rebuild-index` again.
A compressed index is only about one third the size of an uncompressed
one. Thus increase the number of entries in an index to avoid cluttering
the repository with small indexes.
As an exception prune is still allowed to load the index before
snapshots, as it uses exclusive locks. In case of problems with locking
it is also better to load snapshots created after loading the index, as
this will lead to a prune sanity check failure instead of a broken snapshot.
When resolving snapshotIDs in FindFilteredSnapshots either
FindLatestSnapshot or FindSnapshot is called. Both operations issue a
list operation to the backend. When for example passing a long list of
snapshot ids to `forget` this could lead to a large number of list
operations.
These commands filter the snapshots according to some criteria which
essentially requires loading the index before filtering the snapshots.
Thus create a copy of the snapshots list beforehand and use it later on.
During a backup the index is written before the corresponding snapshots.
To ensure that a concurrent/later restic run can read a snapshot's data,
restic thus must first load the snapshots and only afterwards the index.
Otherwise it is not possible to ensure that the loaded index is recent
enough to cover all of the snapshot's data.
Nodes in trees were always printed with a `+` in diff, regardless of
whether or not a dir was added or removed. Let's use the mode we were
passed in printDir().
Closes#3685
The repack operation copies all selected blobs from a set of pack files
into new pack files. For prune the source and destination repositories
are identical. To implement copy, just use a different source and
destination repository.
Removing data based on a policy when the attacker had the opportunity to
add data to your repository comes with some considerations. This is
added to the 060_forget.rst documentation.
That document is also updated to reflect that restic now considers
the current system time while running "forget".
References to the security considerations section are added:
- In `restic forget --help`
- In the threat model (design.rst)
- In the (030) setup section where an append-only setup is referenced
A reference is also to be added to the `rest-server` readme's
append-only paragraph (see my fork).
This commit also resolves a typo (amount->number for countable noun),
changes a password length recommendation into the metric that
actually matters when creating passwords (entropy) since I was editing
these doc files anyway, and updates the outdated copyright year in
`conf.py`.
Some wording in 060_forget (line 21..22) was changed to clarify what
"forget" and "prune" do, to try and avoid the apparent misconception
that "forget" does not remove any data.
There's no point in locking the repository just to list the currently
existing lock files. This won't work for an exclusively locked
repository and is also confusing to users.
Loading any parent tree for these only wastes time and memory.
Fixes#3641, where it was shown that the most recent tree will get
picked.
--parent is now implicitly ignored when --stdin is given.
cleanup handlers run in the order in which they are added. As Go calls
init() functions in lexical order, the cleanup handler from global.go
was registered before that from lock.go, which is the correct order.
Make this order explicit to ensure that this won't break accidentally.
Currently, `restic backup` (if a `--parent` is not provided)
will choose the most recent matching snapshot as the parent snapshot.
This makes sense in the usual case,
where we tag the snapshot-being-created with the current time.
However, this doesn't make sense if the user has passed `--time`
and is currently creating a snapshot older than the latest snapshot.
Instead, choose the most recent snapshot
which is not newer than the snapshot-being-created's timestamp,
to avoid any time travel.
Impetus for this change:
I'm using restic for the first time!
I have a number of existing BTRFS snapshots
I am backing up via restic to serve as my initial set of backups.
I initially `restic backup`'d the most recent snapshot to test,
then started backing up each of the other snapshots.
I noticed in `restic cat snapshot <id>` output
that all the remaining snapshots have the most recent as the parent.
Currently restic copy will copy each blob from every snapshot serially,
which has performance implications on high-latency backends such as b2.
This commit introduces 8x parallelism for blob downloads/uploads which
can improve restic copy operations up to 8x for repositories with many
small blobs on b2.
This commit also addresses the TODO comment in the copyTree function.

A more thorough improvement of the restic copy performance can be found

Closes#3595
Choosing to include `stdoutIsTerminal()` as:
- all other instances with `!opts.JSON` do so
- this likely will not affect anything, especially when autorun
- this seems to not be a meaningful enough summary
to include in auto-backup reports
JSON is still likely not guaranteed to work and this is a suboptimal
solution to this. Ideally, #1804 should refactor all print statements,
and define+document(+handle) when stdoutIsTerminal() should be used.
Else, it may end up more inconsistent and bulky
(duplicate lines, longer files).
Per Amazon's product page [1], S3 is officially called "Amazon S3". The
restic project uses the phrase "AWS S3" in some places. This patch
corrects the product name.

Further code will also output to the terminal and the bar's cursor
positioning causes its output to overlap with the remaining output in a
racy way.
Fixes: #3344
Package internal/dump has been reworked so its API consists of a single
type Dumper that handles tar and zip formats. Tree loading and node
writing happen concurrently.
Running restic self-update --quiet no longer
prints "writing restic to /usr/local/bin/restic".
The only output printed with -q is failures or
"successfully updated restic to version 0.12.1"

After the refactoring status updates were no longer printed in quiet
mode or when the output is not an interactive terminal. However, the
JSON output is often piped to e.g. another program. Thus, don't set the
update frequency to 0 in that case. The status updates are still
disabled for backup --quiet.
This also reduces the status update frequency to 60fps compared to a
potentially much higher value before the refactoring.
* PrintProgress no longer does unnecessary Sprintf calls, and performs
fewer allocations in general
* newProgressMax's callback checks whether the terminal supports
line updates once instead of once per call
* the callback looks up the terminal width once per call instead of
twice (on Windows)
* the status shortening now uses the Unicode-aware version from
internal/ui/termstatus (future-proofing)
This can be used to check how large a backup is or validate exclusions.
It does not actually write any data to the underlying backend. This is
implemented as a simple overlay backend that accepts writes without
forwarding them, passes through reads, and generally does the minimal
necessary to pretend that progress is actually happening.

Allow keeping hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly snapshots for a given time period.
This adds the following flags/parameters to restic forget:
--keep-within-hourly duration
--keep-within-daily duration
--keep-within-weekly duration
--keep-within-monthly duration
--keep-within-yearly duration
Includes following changes:
- Add tests for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
- Add documentation for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
- Add changelog for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
If a pack file is missing try to determine the contained pack ids based
on the repository index. This helps with assessing the damage to a
repository before running `rebuild-index`.
Just passing the list of blobs to packsToBlobs would also work in most
cases, however, it could cause unexpected results when multiple pack
files have the same prefix. Forget found prefixes to prevent this.
Apparently readahead was disabled by default. Enable readahead with the
Linux default size of 128kB. Larger values seem to have no effect.
This can speed up reading from the fuse mount by at least factor 5.
