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.
restic dump uses bloblru.Cache to keep buffers alive, but also reuses
evicted buffers. That means large buffers may be used to store small
blobs, causing the cache to think it's using less memory than it
actually does.
This can be caused when the test has uploaded four blobs, then queues
two blobs for upload which are delayed. Then a seventh file can be
opened which lead to a test failure.
The rest config normally uses prepareURL to sanitize URLs and ensures
that the URL ends with a slash. However, the test used an URL without a
trailing slash, which after the rest server changes causes test
failures.
For files below 256MB this uses the md5 hash calculated while assembling
the pack file. For larger files the hash for each 100MB part is
calculated on the fly. That hash is also reused as temporary filename.
As restic only uploads encrypted data which includes among others a
random initialization vector, the file hash shouldn't be susceptible to
md5 collision attacks (even though the algorithm is broken).
This enables the backends to request the calculation of a
backend-specific hash. For the currently supported backends this will
always be MD5. The hash calculation happens as early as possible, for
pack files this is during assembly of the pack file. That way the hash
would even capture corruptions of the temporary pack file on disk.
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.

Add comment that the check is based on the stdlib HTTP2 client. Refactor
the checks into a function. Return an error if the value in the
Content-Length header cannot be parsed.
Ensure that only snapshots made in the past are taken into account when running restic forget with the within switches (--keep-within, --keep-within- hourly, and friends)
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)
The first test function ensures that the workaround works as expected.
And the second test function is intended to fail as soon as the issue
has been fixed in golang to allow us to eventually remove the
workaround.
The golang http client does not return an error when a HTTP2 reply
includes a non-zero content length but does not return any data at all.
This scenario can occur e.g. when using rclone when a file stored in a
backend seems to be accessible but then fails to download.
Failed pack/blob downloads should be retried. For blobs that fail
decryption assume that the pack file is really damaged and try to
restore the remaining blobs.
* Stop prepending the operation name: it's already part of os.PathError,
leading to repetitive errors like "Chmod: chmod /foo/bar: operation not
permitted".
* Use errors.Is to check for specific errors.
Since the fileInfos are returned in a []interface, they're already
allocated on the heap. Making them pointers explicitly means the
compiler doesn't need to generate fileInfo and *fileInfo versions of the
methods on this type. The binary becomes about 7KiB smaller on
Linux/amd64.
mintty on windows always uses pipes to connect stdout between processes
and for the terminal output. The previous implementation always assumed
that stdout connected to a pipe means that stdout is displayed on a
mintty terminal. However, this detection breaks when using pipes to
connect processes and for powershell which uses pipes when redirecting
to a file.
Now the pipe filename is queried and matched against the pattern used by
msys / cygwin when connected to the terminal. In all other cases assume
that a pipe is just a regular pipe.
Previously the progress bar / status update interval used
stdoutIsTerminal to determine whether it is possible to update the
progress bar or not. However, its implementation differed from the
detection within the backup command which included additional checks to
detect the presence of mintty on Windows. mintty behaves like a terminal
but uses pipes for communication.
This adds stdoutCanUpdateStatus() which calls the same terminal detection
code used by backup. This ensures that all commands consistently switch
between interactive and non-interactive terminal mode.
stdoutIsTerminal() now also returns true whenever stdoutCanUpdateStatus()
does so. This is required to properly handle the special case of mintty.
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.
The azureAdapter was used directly without a pointer, but the Len()
method was only defined with a pointer receiver (which means Len() is
not present on a azureAdapter{}, only on a pointer to it).
Bugs in the error handling while uploading a file to the backend could
cause incomplete files, e.g. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42400
which could affect the local backend.
Proactively add sanity checks which will treat an upload as failed if
the reported upload size does not match the actual file size.
Before, the scanner would could files twice if they were included in the
list of backup targets twice, e.g. `restic backup foo foo/bar` would
could the file `foo/bar` twice.
This commit uses the tree structure from the archiver to run the
scanner, so both parts see the same files.
This assigns an id to each tree root and then keeps track of how many
tree loads (i.e. trees referenced for the first time) are pending per
tree root. Once a tree root and its subtrees were fully processed there
are no more pending tree loads and the tree root is reported as
processed.
When the tomb is created with a canceled context, then the workers
started via `t.Go` exist nearly immediately. Once for the first time all
started goroutines have been stopped, it is not allowed to issue further
calls to `t.Go`. This is a problem when the started goroutines exit
immediately, as for example the first goroutine might already have
stopped before starting the second one, which is not allowed as once the
first goroutines has stopped no goroutines were running.
To fix this race condition the startup and main task of the archiver now
also run within a `t.Go` function. This also allows unifying the error
handling as it is no longer necessary to distinguish between errors
returned by the workers or the saveTree processing. The tomb now just
returns the first error encountered, which should also be the most
descriptive one.
Depending on the used backend, operations started with a canceled
context may fail or not. For example the local backend still works in
large parts when called with a canceled context. Backends transfering
data via http don't work. It is also not possible to retry failed
operations in that state as the RetryBackend will abort with a 'context
canceled' error.
Ensure uniform behavior of all backends by checking for a canceled
context by checking for a canceled context as a first step in the
RetryBackend. This ensures uniform behavior across all backends, as
backends are always wrapped in a RetryBackend.
If the context was canceled then saveTree might receive a treeID or not
depending on the timing. This could cause saveTree to incorrectly return
a nil treeID as valid. Fix this always returning an error when the
context was canceled in the meantime.
A canceled background context lets the blob/tree/fileSavers exit
without reporting an error. The error handling previously replaced
a 'context canceled' error received by the main backup method with
the error reported by the savers. However, in case of a canceled
background context that error is nil, causing restic to loose the
error and save a snapshot with a nil tree.
The counter value needs to be aligned to 64 bit in memory for the
atomic functions to work on some platform (such as 32 bit ARM).
The atomic package says in its documentation:
> These functions require great care to be used correctly. Except for
> special, low-level applications, synchronization is better done with
> channels or the facilities of the sync package.
This commit replaces the atomic functions with a simple sync.Mutex, so
we don't have to care about alignment.
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.
