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.
