Bugfix: Never lock repository for `list locks`
|
||||
|
||||
The `list locks` command previously locked to the repository by default. This
|
||||
has the problem that it won't work for an exclusively locked repository and
|
||||
that the command will also display its own lock file which can be confusing.

Enhancement: Add `--dry-run`/`-n` option to `backup` command
|
||||
|
||||
Testing exclude filters and other configuration options required running a
|
||||
normal backup. Wrong filters could then cause files to be uploaded
|
||||
unexpectedly. It was also not possible to approximately determine beforehand
|
||||
how much data has to be uploaded.
|
||||
Testing exclude filters and other configuration options was error prone as
|
||||
wrong filters could cause files to be uploaded unintentionally. It was also
|
||||
not possible to estimate beforehand how much data would be uploaded.
|
||||
|
||||
We added a new --dry-run/-n option to the backup command, which performs
|
||||
all the normal steps of a backup without actually writing any changes to
|
||||
the repository. Passing -vv will log information about files that would
|
||||
be added, allowing verification of source and exclusion backup options
|
||||
without committing changes to the repository.

When dumping a file using the `restic dump` command, restic did not cache blobs
|

in any way, so even consecutive runs of the same blob did get loaded from the

repository again and again, slowing down the dump.

Now, the caching mechanism already used by the `fuse` command is also used by
|

the `dump` command. This makes dumping much faster, especially for sparse files.

Enhancement: Support configurable timeout for the rclone backend
|

|
||||
A slow rclone backend could cause restic to time out while waiting for the repository to open.
|
||||
Restic now offers an `-o rclone.timeout` option to make this timeout configurable.

Bugfix: Fix handling of `prune --max-repack-size=0`
|
||||
|
||||
Restic ignored the `--max-repack-size` option when passing a value of 0. This
|
||||
has been fixed.
|

has now been fixed.
|

|

As a workaround, `--max-repack-size=1` can be used with older versions of restic.

Enhancement: Improve restic copy performance by parallelizing IO

Enhancement: Improve `copy` performance by parallelizing IO
|
||||
|
||||
Restic copy previously only used a single thread for copying blobs between
|
||||
repositories, which resulted in limited performance when copying small blobs
|
||||
to/from a high latency backend (i.e. any remote backend, especially b2).
|
||||
|
||||
Copying will now use 8 parallel threads to increase the throughput of the copy
|

operation.
