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.
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.
restic uses a cleanup hook to ensure that it restores the terminal
configuration to a sane state, when restic is interrupted while reading
a password from the terminal. However, this causes a problem, when
restic runs in a background job, as reconfiguring a terminal will cause
a SIGTTOU to be sent to restic pausing it. Therefore, restic seems to
hang on shutdown when it was running in the background.
This commit changes the behavior to only restore the terminal
configuration if restic was interrupted while reading a password from
the terminal. As reading a password from the terminal requires that
restic is in the foreground, this should avoid restic getting stopped.
Fixes #2298
Issue introduced in #402
Restic used to quit if the repository password was typed incorrectly once.
Restic will now ask the user again for the repository password if typed incorrectly.
The user will now get three tries to input the correct password before restic quits.
Reading the password from non-terminal stdin used io.ReadFull with a
byte slice of length 1000.
We are now using a Scanner to read one line of input, independent of its
length.
Additionally, if stdin is not a terminal, the password is read only
once instead of twice (in an effort to detect typos).
Fixes #2203

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 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.
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.
This removes the conditions that checks if the password is supplied
through environment variable or file and outputs password is successful
on terminal and when --quiet is not supplied.
This adds some feedback when entering the password on the command line.
When the password is entered and supplied through stdin (and stdout is a
terminal) then the a message saying `password is correct` if correct is
printed.
This commits adds rudimentary support for a cache directory, enabled by
default. The cache directory is created if it does not exist. The cache
is used if there's anything in it, newly created snapshot and index
files are written to the cache automatically.
This was a bit tricky: We start the ssh binary, but we want it to ignore
SIGINT. In contrast, restic itself should process SIGINT and clean up
properly. Before, we used `setsid()` to give the ssh process its own
process group, but that means it cannot prompt the user for a password
because the tty is gone.
So, now we're passing in two functions that ignore SIGINT just before
the ssh process is started and re-install it after start.
Instead of determining the password lazily during ReadPassword(), do so now in
cobra.PersistentPreRunE() so we can store the result in the globalOptions and
reuse/override when applicable without having to worry about the environment
or flag options interfering.
The method of determining if a repository exists doesn't work on Windows, since
the "url.Scheme" will contain the drive letter - "c" in "c:\backup",
so as a first step we check if the URL can be opened as a file,
and if so, we assume it is a 'local' type repository.
