Some backends generate additional files for each existing file, e.g.
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef.sha256
For some commands this leads to an "multiple IDs with prefix" error when
trying to reference a snapshot.
`restic unlock` now only shows `successfully removed locks` if there were locks to be removed.
In addition, it also reports the number of the removed lock files.
This is especially useful if ssh asks for a password or if closing the
initial connection could return an error due to a problematic server
implementation.
bazil/fuse expects us to return context.Canceled to signal that a
syscall was successfully interrupted. Returning a wrapped version of
that error however causes the fuse library to signal an EIO (input/output
error). Thus unwrap context.Canceled errors before returning them.
`init` and `copy` use `--repo2` with two different meaning which has
proven to be confusing for users. `--from-repo` now consistently marks a
source repository from which data is read. `--repo` is now always the
target/destination repository.
The short ids are not always unique. In addition, recovering from
damages is easier when having the full ids as that makes it easier to
access the corresponding files.
Apparently SMB/CIFS on Linux/macOS returns somewhat random errnos when
trying to sync a windows share which does not support calling fsync for
a directory.
The `stats` command checks inodes to not count hardlinked files multiple
times into the restore size. This check applies across all snapshots and
not only within snapshots. As a result the result size was far too low
when calculating it for multiple snapshots and it would vary depending
on the order in which snapshots were listed.
The new option allows prune to operate with nearly no scratch space by only removing
no longer necessary pack files and first deleting the index before
rebuilding it. By first deleting the index it becomes safe to just
delete no longer necessary pack files. However, as a downside there's
now the risk that the repository becomes inaccessible if prune fails.
To recover from that problem a user might have to manually delete the
repository index and then run (a full) `rebuild-index` again.
* Write new file payload to a temp file before touching the original
binary. Minimizes the possibility of failing mid-write and corrupting
the binary.
* On Windows, move the original binary out to a temp file rather than
removing it as the running binary is locked. Fixes issue #2248.
Nodes in trees were always printed with a `+` in diff, regardless of
whether or not a dir was added or removed. Let's use the mode we were
passed in printDir().
Closes #3685
The repack operation copies all selected blobs from a set of pack files
into new pack files. For prune the source and destination repositories
are identical. To implement copy, just use a different source and
destination repository.
This is quite similar to gitignore. If a pattern is suffixed by an
exclamation mark and match a file that was previously matched by a
regular pattern, the match is cancelled. Notably, this can be used
with `--exclude-file` to cancel the exclusion of some files.
Like for gitignore, once a directory is excluded, it is not possible
to include files inside the directory. For example, a user wanting to
only keep `*.c` in some directory should not use:
~/work
!~/work/*.c
But:
~/work/*
!~/work/*.c
I didn't write documentation or changelog entry. I would like to get
feedback if this is the right approach for excluding/including files
at will for backups. I use something like this as an exclude file to
backup my home:
$HOME/**/*
!$HOME/Documents
!$HOME/code
!$HOME/.emacs.d
!$HOME/games
# [...]
node_modules
*~
*.o
*.lo
*.pyc
# [...]
$HOME/code/linux/*
!$HOME/code/linux/.git
# [...]
There are some limitations for this change:
- Patterns are not mixed accross methods: patterns from file are
handled first and if a file is excluded with this method, it's not
possible to reinclude it with `--exclude !something`.
- Patterns starting with `!` are now interpreted as a negative
pattern. I don't think anyone was relying on that.
- The whole list of patterns is walked for each match. We may
optimize later by exiting early if we know no pattern is starting
with `!`.
Fix #233
There's no point in locking the repository just to list the currently
existing lock files. This won't work for an exclusively locked
repository and is also confusing to users.
Loading any parent tree for these only wastes time and memory.
Fixes #3641, where it was shown that the most recent tree will get
picked.
--parent is now implicitly ignored when --stdin is given.
Create a temporary file with a sufficiently random name to essentially
avoid any chance of conflicts. Once the upload has finished remove the
temporary suffix. Interrupted upload thus will be ignored by restic.
Currently, `restic backup` (if a `--parent` is not provided)
will choose the most recent matching snapshot as the parent snapshot.
This makes sense in the usual case,
where we tag the snapshot-being-created with the current time.
However, this doesn't make sense if the user has passed `--time`
and is currently creating a snapshot older than the latest snapshot.
Instead, choose the most recent snapshot
which is not newer than the snapshot-being-created's timestamp,
to avoid any time travel.
Impetus for this change:
I'm using restic for the first time!
I have a number of existing BTRFS snapshots
I am backing up via restic to serve as my initial set of backups.
I initially `restic backup`'d the most recent snapshot to test,
then started backing up each of the other snapshots.
I noticed in `restic cat snapshot <id>` output
that all the remaining snapshots have the most recent as the parent.
Currently restic copy will copy each blob from every snapshot serially,
which has performance implications on high-latency backends such as b2.
This commit introduces 8x parallelism for blob downloads/uploads which
can improve restic copy operations up to 8x for repositories with many
small blobs on b2.
This commit also addresses the TODO comment in the copyTree function.
Related work:
A more thorough improvement of the restic copy performance can be found
in PR #3513
If a request fails with "x509: certificate signed by unknown authority",
the B2 backend now returns the error without retrying the request.
Closes #3556
Closes #2355
When deleting a file, B2 sometimes returns a "500 Service Unavailable"
error but nevertheless correctly deletes the file. Due to retries in
the B2 library blazer, we sometimes also see a "400 File not present"
error. The retries of restic for the delete request then fail with
"404 File with such name does not exist.".
As we have to rely on request retries in a distributed system to handle
temporary errors, also consider a delete request to be successful if the
file is reported as not existing. This should be safe as B2 claims to
provide a strongly consistent bucket listing and thus a missing file
shouldn't mysteriously show up again later on.
This can be used to check how large a backup is or validate exclusions.
It does not actually write any data to the underlying backend. This is
implemented as a simple overlay backend that accepts writes without
forwarding them, passes through reads, and generally does the minimal
necessary to pretend that progress is actually happening.

Allow keeping hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly snapshots for a given time period.
This adds the following flags/parameters to restic forget:
--keep-within-hourly duration
--keep-within-daily duration
--keep-within-weekly duration
--keep-within-monthly duration
--keep-within-yearly duration
Includes following changes:
- Add tests for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
- Add documentation for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
- Add changelog for --keep-within-hourly (and friends)
This patch adds a `--latest` option to limit snapshots list to the n
last snapshots. It is very similar to the `--last` one but does not
limit to one entry. It also deprecates the `--last` flag usage in
favor of `--latest 1`
Output example:
$ restic snapshots --latest 2

The `init` and `copy` commands can now use `--repository-file2` flag and
the `$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable.
This also fixes the conflict with the `--repository-file` and `--repo2`
flag.
Tests are added for the initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.
This adds a NOK function to the test helper functions. This NOK tests if
err is not nil, and otherwise fail the test.
With the NOK function a couple of sad paths are tested in the
initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.
In total the tests checks wether the following are passed correct:
- Password
- PasswordFile
- Repo
- RepositoryFile
The following situation must return an error to pass the test:
- no Repo or RepositoryFile defined
- Repo and RepositoryFile defined both
The error returned when finishing the upload of an object was dropped.
This could cause silent upload failures and thus data loss in certain
cases. When a MD5 hash for the uploaded blob is specified, a wrong
hash/damaged upload would return its error via the Close() whose error
was dropped.
This adds support for the following environment variables, which were
previously missing:
OS_USER_ID User ID for keystone v3 authentication
OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID User domain ID for keystone v3 authentication
OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID Project domain ID for keystone v3 authentication
OS_TRUST_ID Trust ID for keystone v3 authentication
The canUpdateStatus check was simplified in #2608, but it accidentally flipped
the condition. The correct check is as follows: If the output is a pipe then
restic probably runs in mintty/cygwin. In that case it's possible to
update the output status. In all other cases it isn't.
This commit inverts to condition again to offer the previous and correct
behavior.
On shutdown the backup commands waits for the terminal output goroutine
to stop. However while running in the background the goroutine ignored
the canceled context.
In #2584 this was changed to use the uid/gid of the root node. This
would be okay for the top-level directory of a snapshot, however, this
change also applied to normal directories within a snapshot. This
change reverts the problematic part and adds a test that directory
attributes are represented correctly.
a gs service account may only have object permissions on an existing
bucket but no bucket create/get permissions.
these service accounts currently are blocked from initialization a
restic repository because restic can not determine if the bucket exists.
this PR updates the logic to assume the bucket exists when the bucket
attribute request results in a permissions denied error.
this way, restic can still initialize a repository if the service
account does have object permissions

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.
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.
When the backup is interrupted for some reason while the scanner is
still active this could lead to a deadlock. Interruptions are triggered
by canceling the context object used by both the backup progress UI and
the scanner. It is possible that a context is canceled between the
respective check in the scanner and it calling the `ReportTotal` method
of the UI. The latter method sends a message to the UI goroutine.
However, a canceled context will also stop that goroutine, which can
cause the channel send operation to block indefinitely.
This is resolved by adding a `closed` channel which is closed once the
UI goroutine is stopped and serves as an escape hatch for reported UI
updates.
This change covers not just the ReportTotal method but all potentially
affected methods of the progress UI implementation.
This allows creating multiple repositories with identical chunker
parameters which is required for working deduplication when copying
snapshots between different repositories.
