Bugfix: Exclude irregular files from backups Since restic 0.17.1, files with the type `irregular` could mistakenly be included in snapshots, especially when backing up special file types on Windows that restic cannot process. This issue has now been fixed. Previously, this bug caused the `check` command to report errors like the following one: ``` tree 12345678[...]: node "example.zip" with invalid type "irregular" ``` To repair affected snapshots, upgrade to restic 0.17.2 and run: ``` restic repair snapshots --forget ``` This will remove the `irregular` files from the snapshots (creating a new snapshot ID for each of the affected snapshots). https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/5057 https://forum.restic.net/t/errors-found-by-check-1-invalid-type-irregular-2-ciphertext-verification-failed/8447/2
