Split description for non-Amazon S3 providers into separate section. The
section now also includes the `s3.bucket-lookup` extended option. Switch
to using regional URLs for Amazon S3 to replace the need for setting the
region.
clarify documentation regarding B2 bucket lifecycle settings. The default lifecycle setting is probably fine for most users now; a custom policy is not necessary.
Allow setting custom arguments for the `sftp` backend, by using the
`sftp.args` option. This is similar to the approach already implemented
in the `rclone` backend, to support new arguments without requiring
future code changes for each different SSH argument.
Closes #4241
The godoc for filepath.Match has the syntax, which is what is important
for writing patterns. Use pkg.go.dev instead of golang.org/pkg.
For #4245. Not all links fixed yet.
It wasn't clear that Google Cloud Storage and Google Drive are two different services and that one should use the rclone backend for the latter. This commit adds a note with this information.
Removing data based on a policy when the attacker had the opportunity to
add data to your repository comes with some considerations. This is
added to the 060_forget.rst documentation.
That document is also updated to reflect that restic now considers
the current system time while running "forget".
References to the security considerations section are added:
- In `restic forget --help`
- In the threat model (design.rst)
- In the (030) setup section where an append-only setup is referenced
A reference is also to be added to the `rest-server` readme's
append-only paragraph (see my fork).
This commit also resolves a typo (amount->number for countable noun),
changes a password length recommendation into the metric that
actually matters when creating passwords (entropy) since I was editing
these doc files anyway, and updates the outdated copyright year in
`conf.py`.
Some wording in 060_forget (line 21..22) was changed to clarify what
"forget" and "prune" do, to try and avoid the apparent misconception
that "forget" does not remove any data.
