The helper function uidGidInt used strconv.ParseInt instead of
ParseUint, so it silently ignored some invalid user/group IDs.
Also, improve the error message. "Invalid UID" is more informative than
having "ParseInt" twice (*strconv.NumError displays the function name).
Finally, the user.User struct can be passed by pointer to get reduce
code size.
This package is no longer needed, since we can use the stdlib's
http.NewRequestWithContext.
backend/rclone already did, but it needed a different error check due to
a difference between net/http and ctxhttp.
Also, store the http.Client by value in the REST backend (changed to a
pointer when ctxhttp was introduced) and use errors.WithStack instead
of errors.Wrap where the message was no longer accurate. Errors from
http.NewRequestWithContext will start with "net/http" or "net/url", so
they're easy to identify.
The backup command failed if a directory contains duplicate entries.
Downgrade the severity of this problem from fatal error to a warning.
This allows users to still create a backup.
SaveTree did not use the TreeSaver but rather managed the tree
collection and upload itself. This prevents using the parallelism
offered by the TreeSaver and duplicates all related code. Using the
TreeSaver can provide some speed-ups as all steps within the backup tree
now rely on FutureNodes. This can be especially relevant for backups
with large amounts of explicitly specified files.
The main difference between SaveTree and SaveDir is, that only the
former can save tree blobs in which nodes have a different name than the
actual file on disk. This is the result of resolving name conflicts
between multiple files with the same name. The filename that must be
used within the snapshot is now passed directly to
restic.NodeFromFileInfo. This ensures that a FutureNode already contains
the correct filename.
According to the documentation of exec.Cmd Wait() must not be called
before completing all reads from the pipe returned by StdErrPipe(). Thus
return a context that is canceled once rclone has exited and use that as
a precondition to calling Wait(). This should ensure that all errors
printed to stderr have been copied first.
When rclone fails during the connection setup this currently often
results in a context canceled error. Replace this error with the exit
code from rclone.
When backing up many small files, the unbuffered channels frequently
cause the FileSaver to block when reporting progress information. Thus,
add buffers to these channels to avoid unnecessary scheduling.
As the status information is purely informational, it doesn't matter
that the status reporting shutdown is somewhat racy and could miss a few
final updates.
The only use cases in the code were in errors.IsFatal, backend/b2,
which needs a workaround, and backend.ParseLayout. The last of these
requires all backends to implement error unwrapping in IsNotExist.
All backends except gs already did that.
Repositories with mixed packs are probably quite rare by now. When
loading data blobs from a mixed pack file, this will no longer trigger
caching that file. However, usually tree blobs are accessed first such
that this shouldn't make much of a difference.
The checker gets a simpler replacement.
While searching for lock file from concurrently running restic
instances, restic ignored unreadable lock files. These can either be
in fact invalid or just be temporarily unreadable. As it is not really
possible to differentiate between both cases, just err on the side of
caution and consider the repository as already locked.
The code retries searching for other locks up to three times to smooth
out temporarily unreadable lock files.
Restic continued e.g. a backup task even when it failed to renew the
lock or failed to do so in time. For example if a backup client enters
standby during the backup this can allow other operations like `prune`
to run in the meantime (after calling `unlock`). After leaving standby
the backup client will continue its backup and upload indexes which
refer pack files that were removed in the meantime.
This commit introduces a goroutine explicitly monitoring for locks that
are not refreshed in time. To simplify the implementation there's now a
separate goroutine to refresh the lock and monitor for timeouts for each
lock. The monitoring goroutine would now cause the backup to fail as the
client has lost it's lock in the meantime.
The lock refresh goroutines are bound to the context used to lock the
repository initially. The context returned by `lockRepo` is also
cancelled when any of the goroutines exits. This ensures that the
context is cancelled whenever for any reason the lock is no longer
refreshed.
Some backends generate additional files for each existing file, e.g.
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef.sha256
For some commands this leads to an "multiple IDs with prefix" error when
trying to reference a snapshot.
Failing to process data requested from the cache usually indicates a
problem with the returned data. Assume that the cache entry is somehow
damaged and retry downloading it once.
Sparse files contain large regions containing only zero bytes. Checking
that a blob only contains zeros is possible with over 100GB/s for modern
x86 CPUs. Calculating sha256 hashes is only possible with 500MB/s (or
2GB/s using hardware acceleration). Thus we can speed up the hash
calculation for all zero blobs (which always have length
chunker.MinSize) by checking for zero bytes and then using the
precomputed hash.
The all zeros check is only performed for blobs with the minimal chunk
size, and thus should add no overhead most of the time. For chunks which
are not all zero but have the minimal chunks size, the overhead will be
below 2% based on the above performance numbers.
This allows reading sparse sections of files as fast as the kernel can
return data to us. On my system using BTRFS this resulted in about
4GB/s.
The restorer can issue multiple calls to WriteAt in parallel. This can
result in unexpected orderings of the Truncate and WriteAt calls and
sometimes too short restored files.
We can either preallocate storage for a file or sparsify it. This
detects a pack file as sparse if it contains an all zero block or
consists of only one block. As the file sparsification is just an
approximation, hide it behind a `--sparse` parameter.
This writes files by using (*os.File).Truncate, which resolves to the
truncate system call on Unix.
Compared to the naive loop,
for _, b := range p {
if b != 0 {
return false
}
}
the optimized allZero is about 10× faster:
name old time/op new time/op delta
AllZero-8 1.09ms ± 1% 0.09ms ± 1% -92.10% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
name old speed new speed delta
AllZero-8 3.84GB/s ± 1% 48.59GB/s ± 1% +1166.51% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
`restic unlock` now only shows `successfully removed locks` if there were locks to be removed.
In addition, it also reports the number of the removed lock files.
Sending data through a channel at very high frequency is extremely
inefficient. Thus use simple callbacks instead of channels.
> name old time/op new time/op delta
> MasterIndexEach-16 6.68s ±24% 0.96s ± 2% -85.64% (p=0.008 n=5+5)
This is especially useful if ssh asks for a password or if closing the
initial connection could return an error due to a problematic server
implementation.
bazil/fuse expects us to return context.Canceled to signal that a
syscall was successfully interrupted. Returning a wrapped version of
that error however causes the fuse library to signal an EIO (input/output
error). Thus unwrap context.Canceled errors before returning them.
rclone can exit early for example when the connection to rclone is
relayed for example via ssh: `-o rclone.program='ssh user@example.org
forced-command'`
For backends which are able to atomically replace files, we just can
overwrite the old copy, if it is necessary to retry an upload. This has
the benefit of issuing one operation less and might be beneficial if a
backend storage, due to bugs or similar, could mix up the order of the
upload and delete calls.
When hard deleting the latest file version on B2, this uncovers earlier
versions. If an upload required retries, multiple version might exist
for a file. Thus to reliably delete a file, we have to remove all
versions of it.
Ignored packs were reported as an empty pack by EachByPack. The most
immediate effect of this is that the progress bar for rebuilding the
index reports processing more packs than actually exist.
Previously the buffer was grown incrementally inside `repo.LoadUnpacked`.
But we can do better as we already know how large the index will be.
Allocate a bit more memory to increase the chance that the buffer can be
reused in the future.
Instead of first checking whether a file is in the repository cache and
then opening it, we just can open the file. This saves one stat call. If
the file is in the cache, everything is fine and otherwise the code
follows its normal fallback path.
sort.Sort is not guaranteed to be stable. Go 1.19 has changed the
sorting algorithm which resulted in changes of the sort order. When
comparing snapshots with identical timestamp but different paths and
tags lists, there is not meaningful order among them. So just keep their
order stable.
Cleanly separate the directory presentation and the snapshot directory
structure. SnapshotsDir now translates the dirStruct into a format
usable by the fuse library and contains only minimal special case rules.
All decisions have moved into SnapshotsDirStructure which now creates a
fully preassembled tree data structure.
For large pack sizes we might be only interested in the first and last
blob of a pack file. Thus stream a pack file in multiple parts if the
gaps between requested blobs grow too large.
Also make the errors a bit less verbose by not prepending the operation,
since pkg/xattr already does that. Old errors looked like
Listxattr: xattr.list /myfiles/.zfs/snapshot: invalid argument
pkg/sftp.Client.MkdirAll(d) does a Stat to determine if d exists and is
a directory, then a recursive call to create the parent, so the calls
for data/?? each take three round trips. Doing a Mkdir first should
eliminate two round trips for 255/256 data directories as well as all
but one of the top-level directories.
Also, we can do all of the calls concurrently. This may reintroduce some
of the Stat calls when multiple goroutines try to create the same
parent, but at the default number of connections, that should not be
much of a problem.
FutureBlob now uses a Take() method as a more memory-efficient way to
retrieve the futures result. In addition, futures are now collected
while saving the file. As only a limited number of blobs can be queued
for uploading, for a large file nearly all FutureBlobs already have
their result ready, such that the FutureBlob object just consumes
memory.
There is no real difference between the FutureTree and FutureFile
structs. However, differentiating both increases the size of the
FutureNode struct.
The FutureNode struct is now only 16 bytes large on 64bit platforms.
That way is has a very low overhead if the corresponding file/directory
was not processed yet.
There is a special case for nodes that were reused from the parent
snapshot, as a go channel seems to have 96 bytes overhead which would
result in a memory usage regression.
After the `BlobSaver` job is submitted, the buffer can be released and
reused by another `FileSaver` even before `BlobSaver.Save` returns. That
FileSaver will the change `buf.Data` leading to wrong backup statistics.

Use runtime.GOMAXPROCS(0) as worker count for CPU-bound tasks,
repo.Connections() for IO-bound task and a combination if a task can be
both. Streaming packs is treated as IO-bound as adding more worker
cannot provide a speedup.
Typical IO-bound tasks are download / uploading / deleting files.
Decoding / Encoding / Verifying are usually CPU-bound. Several tasks are
a combination of both, e.g. for combined download and decode functions.
In the latter case add both limits together. As the backends have their
own concurrency limits restic still won't download more than
repo.Connections() files in parallel, but the additional workers can
decode already downloaded data in parallel.
Use only a single not completed pack file to keep the number of open and
active pack files low. The main change here is to defer hashing the pack
file to the upload step. This prevents the pack assembly step to become
a bottleneck as the only task is now to write data to the temporary pack
file.
The tests are cleaned up to no longer reimplement packer manager
functions.
Now with the asynchronous uploaders there's no more benefit from using
more blob savers than we have CPUs. Thus use just one blob saver for
each CPU we are allowed to use.
Previously, SaveAndEncrypt would assemble blobs into packs and either
return immediately if the pack is not yet full or upload the pack file
otherwise. The upload will block the current goroutine until it
finishes.
Now, the upload is done using separate goroutines. This requires changes
to the error handling. As uploads are no longer tied to a SaveAndEncrypt
call, failed uploads are signaled using an errgroup.
To count the uploaded amount of data, the pack header overhead is no
longer returned by `packer.Finalize` but rather by
`packer.HeaderOverhead`. This helper method is necessary to continue
returning the pack header overhead directly to the responsible call to
`repository.SaveBlob`. Without the method this would not be possible,
as packs are finalized asynchronously.
The short ids are not always unique. In addition, recovering from
damages is easier when having the full ids as that makes it easier to
access the corresponding files.
As MergeFinalIndex and index uploads can occur concurrently, it is
necessary for MergeFinalIndex to check whether the IDs for an index were
already set before merging it. Otherwise, we'd loose the ID of an index
which is set _after_ uploading it.
The GlobalOptions struct now embeds a backend.TransportOptions, so it
doesn't need to construct one in open and create. The upload and
download limits are similarly now a struct in internal/limiter that is
embedded in GlobalOptions.
There were three loops over the index in restic prune, to find
duplicates, to determine sizes (in pack.Size) and to generate packInfos.
These three are now one loop. This way, prune doesn't need to construct
a set of duplicate blobs, pack.Size doesn't need to contain special
logic for prune's use case (the onlyHdr argument) and pack.Size doesn't
need to construct a map only to have it immediately transformed into a
different map.
Some quick testing on a 160GiB local repo doesn't show running time or
memory use of restic prune --dry-run changing significantly.
... called backend/sema. I resisted the temptation to call the main
type sema.Phore. Also, semaphores are now passed by value to skip a
level of indirection when using them.
github.com/pkg/errors is no longer getting updates, because Go 1.13
went with the more flexible errors.{As,Is} function. Use those instead:
errors from pkg/errors already support the Unwrap interface used by 1.13
error handling. Also:
* check for io.EOF with a straight ==. That value should not be wrapped,
and the chunker (whose error is checked in the cases changed) does not
wrap it.
* Give custom Error methods pointer receivers, so there's no ambiguity
when type-switching since the value type will no longer implement error.
* Make restic.ErrAlreadyLocked private, and rename it to
alreadyLockedError to match the stdlib convention that error type
names end in Error.
* Same with rest.ErrIsNotExist => rest.notExistError.
* Make s3.Backend.IsAccessDenied a private function.
When given a buf that is big enough for a compressed blob but not its
decompressed contents, the copy at the end of LoadBlob would skip the
last part of the contents.
Fixes #3783.
This isn't doing anything. Channels should get cleaned up by the GC when
the last reference to them disappears, just like all other data
structures. Also inlined BufferPool.Put in Buffer.Release, its only
caller.
fd05037e1a changed the allocation batch
size from 256 to 128 under the assumption that an indexEntry is 60 bytes
on amd64, but it's 64: structs are padded out to a multiple of 8 for
alignment reasons. That means we'd waste no space in malloc even without
the batch allocation, at least on 64-bit machines. While that strategy
cuts the overallocation down dramatically for many small indexes, it also
seems to slow allocation down (Go 1.18, Linux, amd64, -benchtime=2s):

Apparently SMB/CIFS on Linux/macOS returns somewhat random errnos when

Reverts bcb852a8d0.
This removes RunWorkers, which had become mere overhead by successive
refactors. It also ensures that each former user of that function
returns any context error that occurs, so failure to complete an
operation is always reported as an error.
Apparently it can take a moment between closing a tempfile marked as
DELETE_ON_CLOSE and it actually being deleted. During that time the file
is inaccessible. Thus just skip deleting the temp file on windows.
Tree packs are cached locally at clients and thus benefit a lot from
being compressed. Ensure this be having prune always repack pack files
containing uncompressed trees.
A compressed index is only about one third the size of an uncompressed
one. Thus increase the number of entries in an index to avoid cluttering
the repository with small indexes.
The config file is not compressed as it should remain readable by older
restic versions such that these can return a proper error.
As the old format for unpacked data does not include a version header,
make use of a trick: The old data is always encoded as JSON. Thus it can
only start with '{' or '['. For any other value the first byte indicates
a versioned format. The version is set to 2 for now. Then the zstd
compressed data follows.
As repack streams packs these occupy one backend connection. Uploading a
new pack also requires a backend connection. To prevent a deadlock
during repack when reaching the backend connections limit, simply limit
the repackWorker count to always leave one connection for uploading.
* Write new file payload to a temp file before touching the original
binary. Minimizes the possibility of failing mid-write and corrupting
the binary.
* On Windows, move the original binary out to a temp file rather than
removing it as the running binary is locked. Fixes issue #2248.
When resolving snapshotIDs in FindFilteredSnapshots either
FindLatestSnapshot or FindSnapshot is called. Both operations issue a
list operation to the backend. When for example passing a long list of
snapshot ids to `forget` this could lead to a large number of list
operations.
These commands filter the snapshots according to some criteria which
essentially requires loading the index before filtering the snapshots.
Thus create a copy of the snapshots list beforehand and use it later on.
Fixes #3687. Uses the cast suggested by @MichaelEischer, except that the
contant isn't cast along, because it's untyped and will be converted by
the compiler as necessary.
The repack operation copies all selected blobs from a set of pack files
into new pack files. For prune the source and destination repositories
are identical. To implement copy, just use a different source and
destination repository.
This is quite similar to gitignore. If a pattern is suffixed by an
exclamation mark and match a file that was previously matched by a
regular pattern, the match is cancelled. Notably, this can be used
with `--exclude-file` to cancel the exclusion of some files.
Like for gitignore, once a directory is excluded, it is not possible
to include files inside the directory. For example, a user wanting to
only keep `*.c` in some directory should not use:
~/work
!~/work/*.c
But:
~/work/*
!~/work/*.c
I didn't write documentation or changelog entry. I would like to get
feedback if this is the right approach for excluding/including files
at will for backups. I use something like this as an exclude file to
backup my home:
$HOME/**/*
!$HOME/Documents
!$HOME/code
!$HOME/.emacs.d
!$HOME/games
# [...]
node_modules
*~
*.o
*.lo
*.pyc
# [...]
$HOME/code/linux/*
!$HOME/code/linux/.git
# [...]
There are some limitations for this change:
- Patterns are not mixed accross methods: patterns from file are
handled first and if a file is excluded with this method, it's not
possible to reinclude it with `--exclude !something`.
- Patterns starting with `!` are now interpreted as a negative
pattern. I don't think anyone was relying on that.
- The whole list of patterns is walked for each match. We may
optimize later by exiting early if we know no pattern is starting
with `!`.
Fix #233
Load tree blobs with more than 50MB only from a single goroutine. Very
large tree blobs with for example 400 MB size can otherwise require
roughly 1GB * streamTreeParallelism memory.
Create a temporary file with a sufficiently random name to essentially
avoid any chance of conflicts. Once the upload has finished remove the
temporary suffix. Interrupted upload thus will be ignored by restic.
This ensures that restic won't create lots of new lock files without
deleting them later on.
In some cases a Delete operation on a backend can return a "File does
not exist" error even though the Delete operation succeeded. This can
for example be caused by request retries. This caused restic to forget
about the new lock file and continue trying to remove the old (already
deleted) lock file.
The function supports efficiently loading a specified list of blobs from
a single pack in a streaming fashion. That is there's no need for
temporary files independent of the pack size.
The archiver uses FS.OpenFile, where FS is an instance of the FS
interface. This is different from fs.OpenFile, which uses the OpenFile
method provided by the fs package.
Citing Kerrisk, The Linux Programming Interface:
The O_NOATIME flag is intended for use by indexing and backup
programs. Its use can significantly reduce the amount of disk
activity, because repeated disk seeks back and forth across the
disk are not required to read the contents of a file and to update
the last access time in the file’s i-node[.]
restic used to do this, but the functionality was removed along with the
fadvise call in #670.
Currently, `restic backup` (if a `--parent` is not provided)
will choose the most recent matching snapshot as the parent snapshot.
This makes sense in the usual case,
where we tag the snapshot-being-created with the current time.
However, this doesn't make sense if the user has passed `--time`
and is currently creating a snapshot older than the latest snapshot.
Instead, choose the most recent snapshot
which is not newer than the snapshot-being-created's timestamp,
to avoid any time travel.

I am backing up via restic to serve as my initial set of backups.
I initially `restic backup`'d the most recent snapshot to test,
then started backing up each of the other snapshots.
I noticed in `restic cat snapshot <id>` output
that all the remaining snapshots have the most recent as the parent.
The missing eof with http2 when a response included a content-length
header but no data, has been fixed in golang 1.17.3/1.16.10. Therefore
just drop the canary test and schedule it for removal once go 1.18 is
required as minimum version by restic.
Because there is no guarantee that a cleanup of these directories will occur
after the "restic check", we extend the behavior to detect and manage these
specific cache directories and allow their cleanup too.
Package internal/dump has been reworked so its API consists of a single
type Dumper that handles tar and zip formats. Tree loading and node
writing happen concurrently.
When deleting a file, B2 sometimes returns a "500 Service Unavailable"
error but nevertheless correctly deletes the file. Due to retries in
the B2 library blazer, we sometimes also see a "400 File not present"
error. The retries of restic for the delete request then fail with
"404 File with such name does not exist.".
As we have to rely on request retries in a distributed system to handle
temporary errors, also consider a delete request to be successful if the
file is reported as not existing. This should be safe as B2 claims to
provide a strongly consistent bucket listing and thus a missing file
shouldn't mysteriously show up again later on.
restic dump uses bloblru.Cache to keep buffers alive, but also reuses
evicted buffers. That means large buffers may be used to store small
blobs, causing the cache to think it's using less memory than it
actually does.
