Important Changes in 0.X.Y
|
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-25 11:17:44 +00:00
|
|
|
* We've added a local cache for metadata so that restic doesn't need to load
|
|
|
|
|
all metadata (snapshots, indexes, ...) from the repo each time it starts. By
|
|
|
|
|
default the cache is active, but there's a new global option `--no-cache`
|
2017-10-03 03:15:37 +00:00
|
|
|
that can be used to disable the cache. By deafult, the cache a standard
|
|
|
|
|
cache folder for the OS, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir`. The
|
|
|
|
|
cache will automatically populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they
|
|
|
|
|
are loaded.

|
2017-09-25 11:17:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A related change was to by default create pack files in the repo that
|
|
|
|
|
contain either data or metadata, not both mixed together. This allows easy
|
|
|
|
|
caching of only the metadata files. The next run of `restic prune` will
|
|
|
|
|
untangle mixed files automatically.

|
|
|
|
2017-09-26 04:53:21 +00:00
|
|
|
* The Google Cloud Storage backend no longer requires the service account to
|
|
|
|
|
have the `storage.buckets.get` permission ("Storage Admin" role) in `restic
|
|
|
|
|
init` if the bucket already exists.

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-08 18:28:03 +00:00
|
|
|
* Added support for rate limiting through `--limit-upload` and
|
|
|
|
|
`--limit-download` flags.

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-16 18:15:19 +00:00
|
|
|
* We've added the `dump` command which prints a file from a snapshot to
|
|
|
|
|
stdout. This can e.g. be used to restore files read with `backup --stdin`.

Small changes
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The directory structure in the fuse mount now exposes a symlink `latest`
|
|
|
|
|
which points to the latest snapshot in that particular directory.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1249
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-23 12:05:55 +00:00
|
|
|
* The option `--compact` was added to the `forget` command to provide the same
|
|
|
|
|
compact view as the `snapshots` command.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1269
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* We've re-enabled a workaround for `minio-go` (the library we're using to
|
|
|
|
|
access s3 backends), this reduces memory usage.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
2017-09-23 20:15:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* The sftp backend now prompts for the password if a password is necessary for
|
|
|
|
|
login.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/448
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-26 12:18:37 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `generate` command has been added, which replaces the now removed
|
|
|
|
|
commands `manpage` and `autocomplete`. This release of restic contains the
|
|
|
|
|
most recent manpages in `doc/man` and the auto-completion files for bash and
|
|
|
|
|
zsh in `doc/bash-completion.sh` and `doc/zsh-completion.zsh`
|

|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-01 08:35:15 +00:00
|
|
|
* A bug was discovered in the library we're using to access Backblaze, it now
|
|
|
|
|
reuses already established TCP connections which should be a lot faster and
|
|
|
|
|
not cause network failures any more.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-03 10:38:00 +00:00
|
|
|
* Another bug in the `forget` command caused `prune` not to be run when
|
|
|
|
|
`--prune` was specified without a policy, e.g. when only snapshot IDs that
|
|
|
|
|
should be forgotten are listed manually. This is corrected now.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1317
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-03 12:52:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `check` command now explicetly prints `No errors were found` when no
|
|
|
|
|
errors could be found.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1319
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-03 16:54:07 +00:00
|
|
|
* The fuse mount now has an `ids` subdirectory which contains the snapshots
|
|
|
|
|
below their (short) IDs.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-07 08:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `backup` command was improved, it now caches the result of excludes for
|
|
|
|
|
a directory.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1271

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-08 07:48:22 +00:00
|
|
|
* We've added the `--cacert` option which can be used to pass one (or more) CA
|
|
|
|
|
certificates to restic. These are used in addition to the system CA
|
|
|
|
|
certificates to verify HTTPS certificates (e.g. for the REST backend).

Important Changes in 0.7.3
|
2017-09-20 09:05:35 +00:00
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For large backups stored in Google Cloud Storage, the `prune` command fails
|
|
|
|
|
because listing only returns the first 1000 files. This has been corrected,
|
|
|
|
|
no data is lost in the process. In addition, a plausibility check was added
|
|
|
|
|
to `prune`.

Important Changes in 0.7.2
|
2017-07-22 09:52:16 +00:00
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* We've added an official docker image and a Dockerfile to build this image in
|
|
|
|
|
`docker/`.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1061
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-07-23 14:54:56 +00:00
|
|
|
* The git repository layout was changed to resemble the layout typically used
|
|
|
|
|
in Go projects, we're not using `gb` for building restic any more and
|
|
|
|
|
vendoring the dependencies is now taken care of by `dep`.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1126
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-09 18:23:29 +00:00
|
|
|
* We now support saving backups on Google Cloud Storage.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1134
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-09 18:15:08 +00:00
|
|
|
* We've added support for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage as a restic backend.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-09 18:33:30 +00:00
|
|
|
* In the course of supporting Microsoft Azure Blobe Storage Go 1.8 is now a
|
|
|
|
|
requirement to build restic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-04 19:58:33 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `restore` command has been improved: When dirs are excluded (or not
|
|
|
|
|
included) in a restore, they are not loaded from the repo any more.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1044
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-05 19:48:13 +00:00
|
|
|
* Name collisions are now resolved by appending a counter.

-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-07-26 20:29:39 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `key` command now prompts for a password even if the original password
|
|
|
|
|
to access a repo has been specified via the `RESTIC_PASSWORD` environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable or a password file.

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-01 20:02:08 +00:00
|
|
|
* Properly report errors when reading files with exclude patterns.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1144
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-05 09:59:14 +00:00
|
|
|
* We now automatically generate man pages for all restic commands, see the
|
|
|
|
|
subdir `doc/man`.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/697

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1147
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-18 17:50:32 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `key remove` command was corrected and now works as documented.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1164
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-28 19:13:14 +00:00
|
|
|
* When a restic command other than `init` is used with a local repository and
|
|
|
|
|
the repository directory does not exist, restic creates the directory
|
|
|
|
|
structure. That's an error, only the `init` command should create the dir.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1167

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-03 07:44:15 +00:00
|
|
|
* Restic now prints stats on all BSD systems (not only on darwin) when SIGINFO
|
|
|
|
|
is received (usually when ctrl+t is pressed).

|
|
|
|
2017-09-03 07:49:37 +00:00
|
|
|
* Since a few releases restic had the ability to write profiling files for
|
|
|
|
|
memory and CPU usage when `debug` is enabled. It was discovered that when
|
|
|
|
|
restic is interrupted (ctrl+c is pressed), the proper shutdown hook is not
|
|
|
|
|
run. This is now corrected.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-19 20:44:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* A new option `--exclude-caches` was added that allows excluding cache
|
|
|
|
|
directories (that are tagged as such). This is a special case of a more
|
|
|
|
|
generic option `--exclude-if-present` which excludes a directory if a file
|
|
|
|
|
with a specific name (and contents) is present.

2017-09-10 18:55:02 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `forget` command now has an option `--group-by` that allows flexible
|
|
|
|
|
grouping policies.

|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-11 17:02:36 +00:00
|
|
|
* The date and time restic records for a new backup can now be specified
|
|
|
|
|
externally by passing `--time` to the `backup` command.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-09-13 12:04:55 +00:00
|
|
|
* The option `--compact` was added to the `snapshots` command to get a better
|
|
|
|
|
overview of the snapshots in a repo. It limits each snapshot to a single
|
|
|
|
|
line.

|
|
|
* The `migrate` command for chaning the `s3legacy` layout to the `default`
|
|
|
|
|
layout for s3 backends has been improved: It can now be restarted with
|
|
|
|
|
`restic migrate --force s3_layout` and automatically retries operations on
|
|
|
|
|
error.

Small changes
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The local and sftp backends now create the subdirs below `data/` on
|
|
|
|
|
open/init. This way, restic makes sure that they always exist. This is
|
|
|
|
|
connected to an issue for the sftp server:

|
|
|
* When no S3 credentials are specified in the environment variables, restic
|
|
|
|
|
now tries to load credentials from an IAM instance profile when the s3
|
|
|
|
|
backend is used.

* On Darwin and FreeBSD, restic now prints stats when SIGINFO is received
|
|
|

(usually when ctrl+t is pressed).

|
* A bug was found (and corrected) in the index rebuilding after prune, which
|
|
|
|
|
led to indexes which include blobs that were not present in the repo any
|
|
|
|
|
more. There were already checks in place which detected this situation and
|
|
|
|
|
aborted with an error message. A new run of either `prune` or
|
|
|
|
|
`rebuild-index` corrected the index files. This is now fixed and a test has
|
|
|
|
|
been added to detect this.

Important Changes in 0.7.0
|
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-05-26 10:16:47 +00:00
|
|
|
* New "swift" backend: A new backend for the OpenStack Swift cloud storage
|
|
|
|
|
protocol has been added, https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift
|
|
|
|
|

2017-05-28 11:12:08 +00:00
|
|
|
* New "b2" backend: A new backend for Backblaze B2 cloud storage
|
|
|
|
|
service has been added, https://www.backblaze.com
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/512
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/978
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-06-04 09:50:38 +00:00
|
|
|
* Improved performance for the `find` command: Restic recognizes paths it has
|
|
|
|
|
already checked for the files in question, so the number of backend requests
|
|
|
|
|
is reduced a lot.

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-06-07 18:51:08 +00:00
|
|
|
* Improved performance for the fuse mount: Listing directories which contain
|
|
|
|
|
large files now is significantly faster.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-06-08 17:21:52 +00:00
|
|
|
* The default layout for the s3 backend is now `default` (instead of
|
|
|
|
|
`s3legacy`). Also, there's a new `migrate` command to convert an existing
|
|
|
|
|
repo, it can be run like this: `restic migrate s3_layout`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-06-18 19:18:11 +00:00
|
|
|
* The fuse mount now has two more directories: `tags` contains a subdir for
|
|
|
|
|
each tag, which in turn contains only the snapshots that have this tag. The
|
|
|
|
|
subdir `hosts` contains a subdir for each host that has a snapshot, and the
|
|
|
|
|
subdir contains the snapshots for that host.

Small changes
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For the s3 backend we're back to using the high-level API the s3 client
|
|
|
|
|
library for uploading data, a few users reported dropped connections (which
|
|
|
|
|
the library will automatically retry now).

2017-06-16 10:27:44 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `prune` command has been improved and will now remove invalid pack
|
|
|
|
|
files, for example files that have not been uploaded completely because a
|
|
|
|
|
backup was interrupted.

|
|
|
returns an error message.

Important Changes in 0.6.1
|
2017-05-25 15:06:06 +00:00
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-05-31 21:50:48 +00:00
|
|
|
This is mostly a bugfix release and only contains small changes:
|
2017-05-25 15:06:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2017-05-31 19:33:45 +00:00
|
|
|
* We've fixed a bug where `rebuild-index` would corrupt the index when used
|
|
|
|
|
with the s3 backend together with the `default` layout. This is not the
|
|
|
|
|
default setting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-05-31 17:53:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* Backends based on HTTP now allow several idle connections in parallel. This
|
|
|
|
|
is especially important for the REST backend, which (when used with a local
|
|
|
|
|
server) may create a lot connections and exhaust available ports quickly.

|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-05-25 15:06:06 +00:00
|
|
|
* Regular status report: We've removed the status report that was printed
|
|
|
|
|
every 10 seconds when restic is run non-interactively. You can still force
|
|
|
|
|
reporting the current status by sending a `USR1` signal to the process.

|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/974
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-05-29 21:46:48 +00:00
|
|
|
* The `build.go` now strips the temporary directory used for compilation from
|
|
|
|
|
the binary. This is the first step in enabling reproducible builds.

Consistent forget policy
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `forget` command was corrected to be more consistent in which snapshots are
|
|
|
|
|
to be forgotten. It is possible that the new code removes more snapshots than
|
|
|
|
|
before, so please review what would be deleted by using the `--dry-run` option.

Unified repository layout
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Up to now the s3 backend used a special repository layout. We've decided to
|
|
|
|
|
unify the repository layout and implemented the default layout also for the s3
|
|
|
|
|
backend. For creating a new repository on s3 with the default layout, use
|
|
|
|
|
`restic -o s3.layout=default init`. For further commands the option is not
|
|
|
|
|
necessary any more, restic will automatically detect the correct layout to use.
|
|
|
|
|
A future version will switch to the default layout for new repositories.

Memory and time improvements for the s3 backend
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've updated the library used for accessing s3, switched to using a lower
|
|
|
|
|
level API and added caching for some requests. This lead to a decrease in
|
|
|
|
|
memory usage and a great speedup. In addition, we added benchmark functions for
|
|
|
|
|
all backends, so we can track improvements over time. The Continuous
|
|
|
|
|
Integration test service we're using (Travis) now runs the s3 backend tests not
|
|
|
|
|
only against a Minio server, but also against the Amazon s3 live service, so we
|
|
|
|
|
should be notified of any regressions much sooner.
