The VSS support works for 32 and 64-bit windows, this includes a check that
the restic version matches the OS architecture as required by VSS. The backup
operation will fail the user has not sufficient permissions to use VSS.
Snapshotting volumes also covers mountpoints but skips UNC paths.
The io.Reader interface does not support contexts, such that it is
necessary to embed the context into the backendReaderAt struct. This has
the problem that a reader might suddenly stop working when it's
contained context is canceled. However, this is now problem here as the
reader instances never escape the calling function.
Now that lockRepo receives a context, it is possible that it is canceled
before a lock was created. Thus `unlockRepo` must be able to handle this
case.
The archiver first called the Select function for a path before checking
whether the Lstat on that path actually worked. The RejectFuncs in
exclude.go worked around this by checking whether they received a nil
os.FileInfo. Checking first is more obvious and requires less code.
This removes the requirement on `restic self-update --output` to point
to a path of an existing file, to overwrite. In case the specified
path does exist we still want to verify that it's a regular file,
rather than a directory or a device, which gets overwritten.
We also want to verify that a path to a new file exists within an
existing directory. The alternative being running into that issue
after the actual download, etc has completed.
While at it I also replace `errors.Errorf` with the more appropriately
verbose `errors.Fatalf`.
Resolves #2491
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.
Fixes #1458, fixes #2900.
This allows creating multiple repositories with identical chunker
parameters which is required for working deduplication when copying
snapshots between different repositories.
When the diff calculation compares two trees with identical id then no
differences between them can ever show up. Optimize for that case by
simply traversing the tree only once to collect all referenced blobs for
a proper calculation of added and removed blobs.
Just skipping the common subtrees is not possible as this would skew the
results if the added or removed blobs are shared with one of the
subtrees.
There was an issue that prevented the dump command from working
correctly when either:
* `/` contained multiple nodes (e.g. `restic backup /`)
* dumping a file in the first sublevel was attempted (e.g. `/foo`)
The help messages suggested that the `ls` command work without
explicitly passing a snapshot ID. However, this was never the case:
without a snapshot ID the command just failed with the error
`Ignoring "", it is not a snapshot id`.
Fixes #2299
Use the `Original` field of the copied snapshot to store a persistent
snapshot ID. This can either be the ID of the source snapshot if
`Original` was not yet set or the previous value stored in the
`Original` field. In order to still copy snapshots modified using the
tags command the source snapshot is compared to all snapshots in the
destination repository which have the same persistent ID. Snapshots are
only considered equal if all fields except `Original` and `Parent`
match. That way modified snapshots are still copied while avoiding
duplicate copies at the same time.
The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.
Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).
Add a copy command to copy snapshots between repositories. It allows the user
to specify a destination repository, password, password-file, password-command
or key-hint to supply the necessary details to open the destination repository.
You need to supply a list of snapshots to copy, snapshots which already exist
in the destination repository will be skipped.
Note, when using the network this becomes rather slow, as it needs to read the
blocks, decrypt them using the source key, then encrypt them again using the
destination key before finally writing them out to the destination repository.
The old behavior was problematic in the context of rebuild-index as it
could leave old, possibly invalid index files behind without returning a
fatal error.
Prune calls rebuildIndex before removing any data from the repository.
For this use case failing to delete an old index MUST be treated as a
fatal error. Otherwise the index could still contain an old index file
that refers to blobs/packs that were later on deleted by prune. Later
backup runs will assume that the affected blobs already exist in the
repository which results in a backup which misses data.
The previous check only approximately verified whether all required
blobs were found. However, after forgetting a few snapshots the
repository contains lots of unused blobs whose number can be sufficient
to make up for missing packs.
When coupled with a malfunctioning backend that temporarily returns broken
data this could cause restic to regard the corresponding packs as
invalid and thereby delete data that's still in use. This change lets
restic play it safe and refuse to delete anything if data is missing.
Do not lock the repository if --no-lock global flag is set. This allows
to mount repositories which are archived on a read only system.

The seen BlobSet always contained a subset of the entries in blobs.
Thus use blobs instead and avoid the memory overhead of the second set.
Suggested-by: Alexander Weiss <alex@weissfam.de>
If a data blob and a tree blob with the same ID (= same content) exist,
then the checker did not report a data or tree blob as unused when the
blob of the other type was still in use.
The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot
could be created successfully, even if some of the source files could not
be read (in which case the snapshot would contain the rest of the files).
This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete
backups by looking at the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit
codes for the backup command:
- 0 when the command was successful
- 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created)
- 3 when some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)
That site might not have supported https:// when those links were
originally added. It does now.
Also dropping the _spec.html_ ending of the url, there being a `<link
rel="canonical" ...>` tag suggesting that that no longer being the
preferred address.
cmd/restic/globals.go already provides Printf, Println and Warnf wrapper
which get their output streams from the globalOptions object. This
allows for stream replacements when testing.
- The SaveBlob method now checks for duplicates.
- Moves handling of pending blobs to MasterIndex.
-> also cleans up pending index entries when they are saved in the index
-> when using SaveBlob no need to care about index any longer
- Always check for full index and save it when storing packs.
-> removes the need of an index uploader
-> also removes the verbose "uploaded intermediate index" messages
- The Flush method now also saves the index
- Fix race condition when checking and saving full/non-finalized indexes
errors.Fatalf wraps a error and just keeps an error message as a string.
This prevents the `restic.IsAlreadyLocked(err)` check from working as
the error is no longer an ErrAlreadyLocked.
Just add an additional remark to the error using `errors.WithMessage`.
This command can only be built on Darwin, FreeBSD and Linux
(and if we upgrade bazil.org/fuse, only FreeBSD and Linux:
https://github.com/bazil/fuse/issues/224).
Listing the few supported operating systems explicitly here makes
porting restic to new platforms easier.
`term.Print` sends the output via a channel to a goroutine which
actually prints the message. This may race with the password prompt
printed by `OpenRepository` resulting in a missing prompt.
