Sometimes restic gets bogus timestamps which cannot be converted to
JSON, because the stdlib JSON encoder returns an error if the year is
not within [0, 9999]. We now make sure that we at least record _some_
timestamp and cap the year either to 0000 or 9999. Before, restic would
refuse to save the file at all, so this improves the status quo.
This fixes #2174 and #1173
This commit is a followup to the addition of the --group-by flag for the
snapshots command. Adding the grouping code there introduced duplicated
code (the forget command also does grouping). This commit refactors
boths sides to only use shared code.
This commit changes the signatures for repository.LoadAndDecrypt and
utils.LoadAll to allow passing in a []byte as the buffer to use. This
buffer is enlarged as needed, and returned back to the caller for
further use.
In later commits, this allows reducing allocations by reusing a buffer
for multiple calls, e.g. in a worker function.
The `s3.storage-class` option can be passed to restic (using `-o`) to
specify the storage class to be used for S3 objects created by restic.
The storage class is passed as-is to S3, so it needs to be understood by
the API. On AWS, it can be one of `STANDARD`, `STANDARD_IA`,
`ONEZONE_IA`, `INTELLIGENT_TIERING` and `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY`. If
unspecified, the default storage class is used (`STANDARD` on AWS).
You can mix storage classes in the same bucket, and the setting isn't
stored in the restic repository, so be sure to specify it with each
command that writes to S3.
Closes #706
This change allows passing no arguments to rclone, using `-o
rclone.args=""`. It is helpful when running rclone remotely via SSH
using a key with a forced command (via `command=` in `authorized_keys`).
This commit changes the internal file system implementation for reading
data from stdin, it now returns an error when no bytes could be read. I
think it's worth failing in this case, the user instructed restic to
read some data from stdin, and no data was read at all. Maybe it was in
a pipe and some earlier stage failed.
See #2135 for a short discussion.
When restic reads the backup from stdin, the number of bytes processed
was always displayed as zero. The reason is that the UI for the archive
uses the total bytes as returned by the scanner, which is zero for
stdin. So instead we keep track of the real number of bytes processed
and print that at the end.
Closes #2136
Make restic forget --keep-within accept time ranges measured in hours and choose
accordingly which snapshots to keep and which to forget. Add relative tests.
don't create fileInfo structs for empty files. this saves memory.
this also avoids extra serial scan of all fileInfo, which should
make restore faster and more consistent.

reworked restore error callback to use file location
path instead of much heavier Node. this reduced restore
memory usage by as much as 50% in some of my tests.

* uses less memory as common prefix is only stored once
* stepping stone for simpler error callback api, which
will allow further memory footprint reduction

When the scanner is slower than the actual backup, the tomb cancels the
context passed to Scan(), which then returns ctx.Err(). In the end, the
main function prints an error message that is not helpful ("Context
cancelled") and exits with an error code although no error occurred.
The code now ignores the error in the context and just uses it for
cancellation. The scanner is not supposed to return an error anyway.
Closes #1978
Sometimes, users run restic without retaining the local cache
directories. This was reported several times in the past.
Restic will now print a message whenever a new cache directory is
created from scratch (i.e. it did not exist before), so users have a
chance to recognize when the cache is not kept between different runs of
restic.
This commit adds a command called `self-update` which downloads the
latest released version of restic from GitHub and replacing the current
binary with it. It does not rely on any external program (so it'll work
everywhere), but still verifies the GPG signature using the embedded GPG
public key.
By default, the `self-update` command is hidden behind the `selfupdate`
built tag, which is only set when restic is built using `build.go`. The
reason for this is that downstream distributions will then not include
the command by default, so users are encouraged to use the
platform-specific distribution mechanism.
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.
Accessing beyond the end of the file now removes the file from the cache
because it is assumed to be truncated. Usually, this means that the data
is fetched directly from the backend instead.
traverseTree() was meant to call enterDir() whenever a directory is
selected for restore, either explicitly or implicitly (=contains a file
which is to be restored). After restoring a file, leaveDir() is called
in reverse order for all intermediate directories so that the metadata
can be restored.
When a directory is selected implicitly, the metadata for it is
restored. This is different from the previous restorer behavior, which
created implicitly selected intermediate directories with permissions
0700 (only user can read/write it).
This commit changes the behavior back to the old one. Only a directory
is explicitly selected for restore, enterDir()/leaveDir() are called for
it. Otherwise, only visitNode() is called, so visitNode() needs to make
sure the parent directory exists. If the directory is explicitly
included, leaveDir() will then restore the metadata correctly.
When we decide to change the behavior (restore metadata for all
intermediate directories, even if selected implicitly), we should do
that in the selection functions, not here.
This finally resolves #1870
