Adds a SelectByName method to the archive and scanner which only require
the filename as input, and can thus be run before calling lstat on the
file. Can speed up scanning significantly if a lot of filename excludes
are used.
This commit changes how the worker goroutines for saving e.g. blobs
interact. Before, it was possible to get stuck sending an instruction to
archive a file or dir when no worker goroutines were available any more.
This commit introduces a `done` channel for each of the worker pools,
which is set to the channel returned by `tomb.Dying()`, so it is closed
when the first worker returned an error.
In #1590, it was mentioned that while lines read from exclude files via
`--exclude-file` have leading and trailing spaces stripped, this is not
the case for lines read via `--files-from`. This commit fixes that,
spaces are always stripped.
This commit removes the bandwidth displayed during backup process. It is
misleading and seldomly correct, because it's neither the "read
bandwidth" (only for the very first backup) nor the "upload bandwidth".
Many users are confused about (and rightly so), c.f. #1581, #1033, #1591
We'll eventually replace this display with something more relevant when
#1494 is done.
Backup was choosing a parent snapshot that had the same tags, which
makes backup unnecessarily slow when there are newer snapshots with
different tags.
There's no reason parent has to have the same tags.
This change makes backup choose the newest snapshot instead.
The option is named --exclude-if-present and accepts a parameter
filename[:content]. Directories are excluded and their contents is not
backed up if they contain a file with the specified name and,
optionally, that starts with the specified content. The tagfile itself
is never excluded.
There is also a shortcut --exclude-caches that works in the same way as
the likewise-named option of tar(1): Directories are recognized as cache
if they contain a file named "CACHEDIR.TAG.
Closes #317.
This improves restore performance by several orders of magniture by not
going through the whole tree recursively when we can anticipate that no
match will ever occur.
