Bugfix: Improve errors for irregular files on Windows
|
|
|
|
Since Go 1.21, most filesystem reparse points on Windows are considered to be
|
|
irregular files. This caused restic to show an `error: invalid node type ""`
|
|
error message for those files.
|
|
|
|
We have improved the error message to include the file path for those files:
|
|
`error: nodeFromFileInfo path/to/file: unsupported file type "irregular"`.
|
|
As irregular files are not required to behave like regular files, it is not
|
|
possible to provide a generic way to back up those files.
