We don't need `error` here: the only existing implementation
of `ErrorHandler` always call `Backup.Error` and all
implementations of `Backup.Error` always return nil.
Add new generic_attributes attribute in Node.
Use the generic attributes to add support for creation time and file attributes like hidden, readonly, encrypted in windows. Handle permission errors for readonly files in windows.
Handle backup and restore of encrypted attributes using windows system calls.
The behavior of the new option should reflect the behavior of normal backups: when the command exit code is zero and there is no output in the stdout, emit a warning but create the snapshot. This commit fixes the integration tests and the ReadCloserCommand struct.
Mostly changed the ones that repeat the name of a system call, which is
already contained in os.PathError.Op. internal/fs.Reader had to be
changed to actually return such errors.
The ioutil functions are deprecated since Go 1.17 and only wrap another
library function. Thus directly call the underlying function.
This commit only mechanically replaces the function calls.
Without comma-ok, the runtime inserts the same check with a similar
enough panic message:
interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not *syscall.Stat_t
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 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.
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.
