|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #1212: Restore timestamps and permissions on intermediate directories
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using the `--include` option of the restore command, restic restored timestamps and
|
||||||
|
permissions only on directories selected by the include pattern. Intermediate directories,
|
||||||
|
which are necessary to restore files located in sub- directories, were created with default
|
||||||
|
permissions. We've fixed the restore command to restore timestamps and permissions for these
|
||||||
|
directories as well.

|

|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #1756: Mark repository files as read-only when using the local backend
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Files stored in a local repository were marked as writeable on the filesystem for non-Windows
|
||||||
|
systems, which did not prevent accidental file modifications outside of restic. In addition,
|
||||||
|
the local backend did not work with certain filesystems and network mounts which do not permit
|
||||||
|
modifications of file permissions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Restic now marks files stored in a local repository as read-only on the filesystem on
|
||||||
|
non-Windows systems. The error handling is improved to support more filesystems.

|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2241: Hide password in REST backend repository URLs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using a password in the REST backend repository URL, the password could in some cases be
|
||||||
|
included in the output from restic, e.g. when initializing a repo or during an error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The password is now replaced with "***" where applicable.

||||||

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2658
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2319: Correctly dump directories into tar files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The dump command previously wrote directories in a tar file in a way which can cause
|
||||||
|
compatibility problems. This caused, for example, 7zip on Windows to not open tar files
|
||||||
|
containing directories. In addition it was not possible to dump directories with extended
|
||||||
|
attributes. These compatibility problems are now corrected.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition, a tar file now includes the name of the owner and group of a file.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2491: Don't require `self-update --output` placeholder file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`restic self-update --output /path/to/new-restic` used to require that new-restic was an
|
||||||
|
existing file, to be overwritten. Now it's possible to download an updated restic binary to a
|
||||||
|
new path, without first having to create a placeholder file.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2834: Fix rare cases of backup command hanging forever
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We've fixed an issue with the backup progress reporting which could cause restic to hang
|
||||||
|
forever right before finishing a backup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2963
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2938: Fix manpage formatting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The manpage formatting in restic v0.10.0 was garbled, which is fixed now.
|
||||||
|

||||||

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2977
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2942: Make --exclude-larger-than handle disappearing files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was a small bug in the backup command's --exclude-larger-than option where files that
|
||||||
|
disappeared between scanning and actually backing them up to the repository caused a panic.
|
||||||
|
This is now fixed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2942
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2951: Restic generate, help and self-update no longer check passwords
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The commands `restic cache`, `generate`, `help` and `self-update` don't need passwords, but
|
||||||
|
they previously did run the RESTIC_PASSWORD_COMMAND (if set in the environment), prompting
|
||||||
|
users to authenticate for no reason. They now skip running the password command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2987
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Bugfix #2979: Make snapshots --json output [] instead of null when no snapshots
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Restic previously output `null` instead of `[]` for the `--json snapshots` command, when
|
||||||
|
there were no snapshots in the repository. This caused some minor problems when parsing the
|
||||||
|
output, but is now fixed such that `[]` is output when the list of snapshots is empty.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2984
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement #2969: Optimize check for unchanged files during backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During a backup restic skips processing files which have not changed since the last backup run.
|
||||||
|
Previously this required opening each file once which can be slow on network filesystems. The
|
||||||
|
backup command now checks for file changes before opening a file. This considerably reduces
|
||||||
|
the time to create a backup on network filesystems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2970
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement #340: Add support for Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) on Windows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Volume Shadow Copy Service allows read access to files that are locked by another process using
|
||||||
|
an exclusive lock through a filesystem snapshot. Restic was unable to backup those files
|
||||||
|
before. This update enables backing up these files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This needs to be enabled explicitely using the --use-fs-snapshot option of the backup
|
||||||
|
command.

||||||

|
||||||
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2274
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement #2849: Authenticate to Google Cloud Storage with access token
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using the GCS backend, it is now possible to authenticate with OAuth2 access tokens
|
||||||
|
instead of a credentials file by setting the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2849
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement #1458: New option --repository-file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We've added a new command-line option --repository-file as an alternative to -r. This allows
|
||||||
|
to read the repository URL from a file in order to prevent certain types of information leaks,
|
||||||
|
especially for URLs containing credentials.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Enhancement #2978: Warn if parent snapshot cannot be loaded during backup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
During a backup restic uses the parent snapshot to check whether a file was changed and has to be
|
||||||
|
backed up again. For this check the backup has to read the directories contained in the old
|
||||||
|
snapshot. If a tree blob cannot be loaded, restic now warns about this problem with the backup
|
||||||
|
repository.
