The Save methods of the BlobSaver, FileSaver and TreeSaver return early
on when the archiver is stopped due to an error. For that they select on
both the tomb.Dying() and context.Done() channels, which can lead to a
race condition when the tomb is killed due to an error: The tomb first
closes its Dying channel before canceling all child contexts.
Archiver.SaveDir only aborts its execution once the context was
canceled. When the tomb killing is paused between closing its Dying
channel and canceling the child contexts, this lets the
FileSaver/TreeSaver.Save methods return immediately, however, ScanDir
still reads further files causing the test case to fail.
As a killed tomb always cancels all child contexts and as the Savers
always use a context bound to the tomb, it is sufficient to just use
context.Done() as escape hatch in the Save functions. This fixes the
mismatch between SaveDir and Save.
Adjust the tests to use contexts bound to the tomb for all interactions
with the Savers.
The previous implementation was repeating the implementation that is
found inside of io.WriteString. Simplify by making use of the stdlib's
implementation.
The username and hostname for new keys can be specified with the new
--user and --host flags, respectively. The flags are used only by the
`key add` command and are otherwise ignored.
This allows adding keys with for a desired user and host without having
to run restic as that particular user on that particular host, making
automated key management easier.

The method only ever receives *hashing.Writers, which don't implement
io.Closer. These come from packerManager.findPacker and have their
actual writers closed in Repository.savePacker. Moving the closing logic
to hashing.Writer results in "file already closed" errors.
When loading a blob, restic first looks up pack files containing the
blob. To avoid unnecessary work an already cached pack file is preferred.
However, if there is only a single pack file to choose from (which is
the normal case) sorting the one-element list won't change anything.
Therefore avoid the unnecessary cache check in that case.
The previous benchmark spent much of its time allocating RNGs and
generating too many random numbers. It now spends 90% of its time
hashing and half of the rest writing to files.

Archivers TestMetadataChanged incorrectly clears the Extended Attributes
from the expected metadata of the temporary file. This is incorrect as on
SELinux enabled filesystem, as the kernel will automaticly add a SElinux
label. However, since ExtendedAttributes{} != ExtendedAttributes{nil} we
still need to clear them if there are no attributes found.
The pool was used improperly, causing more allocations to be
performed than without it.

The `dump`, `find`, `forget`, `ls`, `mount`, `restore`, `snapshots`,

Much simpler implementation that guarantees each required pack

internal/archiver.readdir and internal/fs.ReadDir were unused.
internal/fs.ReadDirNames and internal/archiver.readdirnames were doing
nearly the same thing, except one sorted its output and opened with
fs.O_NOFOLLOW. Both were only used in internal/archiver.
Each of the random test files was split into the same five blobs. The
test fails once the fifth blob is passed on to `SaveBlob`. That is for
certain interleavings of goroutine execution it would be possible for
the test to trigger the testErr just after storing the first file.
The fixed test uses a different file content for each of the nine files
and fails after writing the fourth blob. The file content is also small
enough to ensure that for each file only a single blob is saved. This
guarantees that the test cannot fail before reading the first four
files. FileReadConcurrency = 2 allows up to two files queued for
processing. Therefore the test can at most open the sixth file before it
has to save the fourth file / blob which triggers the testErr.
internal/ui/jsonstatus and termstatus sound similar but are not related
in any way. Instead `internal/ui/backup` and `internal/ui/jsonstatus/status`
are the counterparts. Rename the latter to `internal/ui/json/backup` to
make this clear.
jsonstatus wrote the JSON output without synchronization to the
stdio_wrapper which caused mangling between different status lines.
Use the Print and Error methods of termstatus instead which use a
central goroutine to synchronize output.

It turns out that these functions are used only in "RunWorkers(...)",
which is used only two times in whole project right after this "final"

And because these "final" functions always return "nil", I've
descided, that it would be better to remove requriments for "final" func
to return error to avoid magick "return nil" at their end.

Windows does not have a concept of a `change time` in the sense as Unix
has it: the field `CreationTime` of the `Win32FileAttributeData` struct
is not updated when attributes or content is changed. So from now on
we're using the `LastWriteTime` as the `change time` on Windows.
Since I could not remember what the value for `Check` means this commit
renames it to `SameFile`: when set to true, the test should make sure
that `FileChanged` should return false (=file is unmodified).
Sometimes restic gets bogus timestamps which cannot be converted to
JSON, because the stdlib JSON encoder returns an error if the year is
not within [0, 9999]. We now make sure that we at least record _some_
timestamp and cap the year either to 0000 or 9999. Before, restic would
refuse to save the file at all, so this improves the status quo.
This fixes #2174 and #1173
This commit is a followup to the addition of the --group-by flag for the
snapshots command. Adding the grouping code there introduced duplicated
code (the forget command also does grouping). This commit refactors
boths sides to only use shared code.
This commit changes the signatures for repository.LoadAndDecrypt and
utils.LoadAll to allow passing in a []byte as the buffer to use. This
buffer is enlarged as needed, and returned back to the caller for
further use.
In later commits, this allows reducing allocations by reusing a buffer
for multiple calls, e.g. in a worker function.
The `s3.storage-class` option can be passed to restic (using `-o`) to
specify the storage class to be used for S3 objects created by restic.
The storage class is passed as-is to S3, so it needs to be understood by
the API. On AWS, it can be one of `STANDARD`, `STANDARD_IA`,
`ONEZONE_IA`, `INTELLIGENT_TIERING` and `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY`. If
unspecified, the default storage class is used (`STANDARD` on AWS).
You can mix storage classes in the same bucket, and the setting isn't
stored in the restic repository, so be sure to specify it with each
command that writes to S3.
Closes #706
This change allows passing no arguments to rclone, using `-o

This commit changes the internal file system implementation for reading
data from stdin, it now returns an error when no bytes could be read. I
think it's worth failing in this case, the user instructed restic to
read some data from stdin, and no data was read at all. Maybe it was in
a pipe and some earlier stage failed.
See #2135 for a short discussion.
When restic reads the backup from stdin, the number of bytes processed
was always displayed as zero. The reason is that the UI for the archive
uses the total bytes as returned by the scanner, which is zero for
stdin. So instead we keep track of the real number of bytes processed
and print that at the end.
Closes #2136

When the scanner is slower than the actual backup, the tomb cancels the
context passed to Scan(), which then returns ctx.Err(). In the end, the
main function prints an error message that is not helpful ("Context
cancelled") and exits with an error code although no error occurred.
The code now ignores the error in the context and just uses it for
cancellation. The scanner is not supposed to return an error anyway.
Closes #1978
Sometimes, users run restic without retaining the local cache
directories. This was reported several times in the past.
Restic will now print a message whenever a new cache directory is
created from scratch (i.e. it did not exist before), so users have a
chance to recognize when the cache is not kept between different runs of
restic.
This commit adds a command called `self-update` which downloads the
latest released version of restic from GitHub and replacing the current
binary with it. It does not rely on any external program (so it'll work
everywhere), but still verifies the GPG signature using the embedded GPG
public key.
By default, the `self-update` command is hidden behind the `selfupdate`
built tag, which is only set when restic is built using `build.go`. The
reason for this is that downstream distributions will then not include
the command by default, so users are encouraged to use the
platform-specific distribution mechanism.
Adds a SelectByName method to the archive and scanner which only require
the filename as input, and can thus be run before calling lstat on the
file. Can speed up scanning significantly if a lot of filename excludes
are used.
Accessing beyond the end of the file now removes the file from the cache
because it is assumed to be truncated. Usually, this means that the data
is fetched directly from the backend instead.
traverseTree() was meant to call enterDir() whenever a directory is
selected for restore, either explicitly or implicitly (=contains a file
which is to be restored). After restoring a file, leaveDir() is called
in reverse order for all intermediate directories so that the metadata
can be restored.
When a directory is selected implicitly, the metadata for it is
restored. This is different from the previous restorer behavior, which
created implicitly selected intermediate directories with permissions
0700 (only user can read/write it).
This commit changes the behavior back to the old one. Only a directory
is explicitly selected for restore, enterDir()/leaveDir() are called for
it. Otherwise, only visitNode() is called, so visitNode() needs to make
sure the parent directory exists. If the directory is explicitly
included, leaveDir() will then restore the metadata correctly.
When we decide to change the behavior (restore metadata for all
intermediate directories, even if selected implicitly), we should do
that in the selection functions, not here.
This finally resolves #1870
This fixes #1833, which consists of two different bugs:
* The `defer` in `cacheFile()` may remove a channel from the
`inProgress` map although it is not responsible for downloading the
file
* If the download fails, goroutines waiting for the file to be cached
assumed that the file was there, there was no way to signal the
error.
When the archiver is faster than the scanner, restic deadlocks. This
commit adds a `finished` channel to the struct in `ui/backup.go` so that
scanner results are ignored when the archiver is already finished.

This commit changes how the worker goroutines for saving e.g. blobs
interact. Before, it was possible to get stuck sending an instruction to
archive a file or dir when no worker goroutines were available any more.
This commit introduces a `done` channel for each of the worker pools,
which is set to the channel returned by `tomb.Dying()`, so it is closed
when the first worker returned an error.
This commit changes the archiver so that low-level errors saving data to
the repo are returned to the caller (instead of being handled by the
error callback function). This correctly bubbles up errors like a full
temp file system and makes restic abort early and makes all other worker
goroutines exit.
This now keeps the cursor at the first column of the first status line
so that messages printed to stdout or stderr by some other part of the
progarm will still be visible. The message will overwrite the status
lines, but those are easily reprinted on the next status update.
The previous code tried to be as efficient as possible and only do a
single open() on an item to save, and then fstat() on the fd to find out
what the item is (file, dir, other). For normal files, it would then
start reading the data without opening the file again, so it could not
be exchanged for e.g. a symlink.
This behavior starts the watchdog on my machine when /dev is saved
with restic, and after a few seconds, the machine reboots.
This commit reverts the behavior to the strategy the old archiver code
used: run lstat(), then decide what to do. For normal files, open the
file and then run fstat() on the fd to verify it's still a normal file,
then start reading the data.
The downside is that for normal files we now do two stat() calls
(lstat+fstat) instead of only one. On the upside, this does not start
the watchdog. :)
Previously, the function read from ARGV[1] (hardcoded) rather than the
value passed to it, the command-line argument as it exists in globalOptions.

This adds two implementations of the new `FS` interface: One for the local
file system (`Local`) and one for a single file read from an
`io.Reader` (`Reader`).
This change removes the hardcoded Google auth mechanism for the GCS
backend, instead using Google's provided client library to discover and
generate credential material.
Google recommend that client libraries use their common auth mechanism
in order to authorise requests against Google services. Doing so means
you automatically support various types of authentication, from the
standard GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to making
use of Google's metadata API if running within Google Container Engine.
Before this change restic would attempt to JSON decode the error
message resulting in confusing `Decode: invalid character 'B' looking
for beginning of value` messages. Afterwards it will return `List
failed, server response: 400 Bad Request (400)`
This commit fixes a bug introduced in
e9ea268847: When an invalid lock is
encountered (e.g. if the file is empty), the code used to ignore that,
but now returns the error.
Now, invalid files are ignored for the normal lock check, and removed
when `restic unlock --remove-all` is run.
Closes #1652
As mentioned in issue [#1560](https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1560#issuecomment-364689346)
this changes the signature for `backend.Save()`. It now takes a
parameter of interface type `RewindReader`, so that the backend
implementations or our `RetryBackend` middleware can reset the reader to
the beginning and then retry an upload operation.
The `RewindReader` interface also provides a `Length()` method, which is
used in the backend to get the size of the data to be saved. This
removes several ugly hacks we had to do to pull the size back out of the
`io.Reader` passed to `Save()` before. In the `s3` and `rest` backend
this is actively used.
This is a bug fix: Before, when the worker function fn in List() of the
RetryBackend returned an error, the operation is retried with the next
file. This is not consistent with the documentation, the intention was
that when fn returns an error, this is passed on to the caller and the
List() operation is aborted. Only errors happening on the underlying
backend are retried.
The error leads to restic ignoring exclusive locks that are present in
the repo, so it may happen that a new backup is written which references
data that is going to be removed by a concurrently running `prune`
operation.
The bug was reported by a user here:
https://forum.restic.net/t/restic-backup-returns-0-exit-code-when-already-locked/484
This pulls the header reads into a function that works in terms of the
number of records requested. This preserves the existing logic of
initially reading 15 records and then falling back if that fails.
In the event of a header with more than 15 records, it will read all
records, including the already-seen final 15 records.
Before, all backend implementations were required to return an error if
the file that is to be written already exists in the backend. For most
backends, that means making a request (e.g. via HTTP) and returning an
error when the file already exists.
This is not accurate, the file could have been created between the HTTP
request testing for it, and when writing starts. In addition, apart from
the `config` file in the repo, all other file names have pseudo-random
names with a very very low probability of a collision. And even if a
file name is written again, the way the restic repo is structured this
just means that the same content is placed there again. Which is not a
problem, just not very efficient.
So, this commit relaxes the requirement to return an error when the file
in the backend already exists, which allows reducing the number of API
requests and thereby the latency for remote backends.
During the development of #1524 I discovered that the Google Cloud
Storage backend did not yet use the HTTP transport, so things such as
bandwidth limiting did not work. This commit does the necessary magic to
make the GS library use our HTTP transport.
A user discovered[1] that when the backup finishes during the upload of
an intermediate index, the upload is cancelled and the index never fully
saved, but the snapshot is saved and the backup finalizes without an
error. This lead to a situation where a snapshot references data that is
contained in the repo, but not referenced in any index, leading to
strange error messages.
This commit uses a dedicated context to signal the intermediate index
uploading routine to terminate after the last index has been uploaded.
This way, an upload running when the backup finishes is completed before
the routine terminates and the snapshot is saved.

Index.Has() is a faster then Index.Lookup() for checking if a blob exists
in the index. As the returned data is never used, this avoids a ton
of allocations.
When looking up a blob in the master index, with several
indexes present in the master index, a significant amount of time
is spent generating errors for each failed lookup. However, these
errors are often used to check if a blob is present, but the contents
are not inspected making the overhead of the error not useful.
Instead, change Index.Lookup (and Index.LookupSize) to instead return
a boolean denoting if the blob was found instead of an error. Also change
all the calls to these functions to handle the new function signature.

When setting up the index used for benchmarking, use math/rand instead of
crypto/rand since the generated ids don't need to be evenly distributed,
and not be secure against guessing. As such, use a different random id

This is a follow-up on fb9729fdb9, which
runs the `ssh` in its own process group and selects that process group
as the foreground group. After the sftp connection is established,
restic switches back to the previous foreground process group.
This allows `ssh` to prompt for the password, but it won't receive
the interrupt signal (SIGINT, ^C) later on, because it is not in the
foreground process group any more, allowing a clean tear down.
When backing up several million files (>14M tested here) with few changes,
a large amount of time is spent failing to find an id in an index and creating
an error to signify this. Since this is checked using the Has method,
which doesn't use this error, this time creating the error is wasted.
Instead, directly check if the given id and type are present in the index.
This also avoids reporting all the packs containing this blob, further
reducing cpu usage.
We added previously a code to fix the issue of chaining
credentials, we do not need this anymore since the
upstream minio-go already has this relevant change.
Before, creating a new repo via REST would use the defaut HTTP client,
which is not a problem unless the server uses HTTPS and a TLS
certificate which isn't signed by a CA in the system's CA store. In this
case, all commands work except the 'init' command, which fails with a
message like "invalid certificate".
chaining failed because chaining provider
was only looking for subsequent credentials
provider after an error. Writer a new
chaining provider which proceeds to fetch
new credentials also under situations where
providers do not return but instead return
no keys at all.

List().
move comment regarding problematic List() backend api (it's s3's ListObjects
that has a problem, NOT swift's ObjectsWalk).
As per discussion in PR #1399.
This is a fix for the following situation (gh-1188):
List() grabs a semaphore token upon entry, starts a goroutine, and
does not release the token until the routine exits (via a defer).
The goroutine iterates over the results from ListCurrentObjects(),
sending them one at a time to a channel, where they are ultimately
processed by be.Load().
Since be.Load() also needs a token, this will result in deadlock if
b2.connections=1.
This fix changes List() so that the token is only held during the call
to ListCurrentObjects().
Add a RESTIC_PROGRESS_FPS environment variable to limit the interval
at which the progress indicator updates (allowed values: 1-60).
The default rate of 60 FPS can cause high terminal CPU load on some

Usage:
RESTIC_PROGRESS_FPS=1 restic ...

I'm not sure when s3 does that; I'm unable to reproduce it myself.
But in any case, it seems correct to ignore that when it happens.

By default, the GCS Go packages have an internal "chunk size" of 8MB,
used for blob uploads.
Media().Do() will buffer a full 8MB from the io.Reader (or less if EOF
is reached) then write that full 8MB to the network all at once.
This behavior does not play nicely with --limit-upload, which only
limits the Reader passed to Media. While the long-term average upload
rate will be correctly limited, the actual network bandwidth will be
very spikey.
e.g., if an 8MB/s connection is limited to 1MB/s, Media().Do() will
spend 8s reading from the rate-limited reader (performing no network
requests), then 1s writing to the network at 8MB/s.
This is bad for network connections hurt by full-speed uploads,
particularly when writing 8MB will take several seconds.
Disable resumable uploads entirely by setting the chunk size to zero.
This causes the io.Reader to be passed further down the request stack,
where there is less (but still some) buffering.
My connection is around 1.5MB/s up, with nominal ~15ms ping times to
8.8.8.8.
Without this change, --limit-upload 1024 results in several seconds of
~200ms ping times (uploading), followed by several seconds of ~15ms ping
times (reading from rate-limited reader). A bandwidth monitor reports
this as several seconds of ~1.5MB/s followed by several seconds of
0.0MB/s.
With this change, --limit-upload 1024 results in ~20ms ping times and
the bandwidth monitor reports a constant ~1MB/s.
I've elected to make this change unconditional of --limit-upload because
the resumable uploads shouldn't be providing much benefit anyways, as
restic already uploads mostly small blobs and already has a retry
mechanism.
--limit-download is not affected by this problem, as Get().Download()
returns the real http.Response.Body without any internal buffering.
Updates #1216
This PR adds the ability of chaining the credentials provider,
such that restic as a tool attempts to honor credentials from
multiple different ways.
Currently supported mechanisms are
- static (user-provided)
- IAM profile (only valid inside configured ec2 instances)
- Standard AWS envs (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
- Standard Minio envs (MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, MINIO_SECRET_KEY)
