* Patch for https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/567 Backup also files on windows with longer pathnames than 255 chars (e.g. from node). as fd0 says "So, as far as I can see, we need to have custom methods for all functions that accept a path, so that on Windows we can substitute the normal (possibly relative) path used within restic by an (absolute) UNC path, and only then call the underlying functions like os.Stat(), os.Lstat(), os.Open() and so on. I've already thought about adding a generic abstraction for the file system (so we can mock this easier in tests), and this looks like a good opportunity to build it." * fixed building tests * Restructured patches Add Wrapper for filepath.Walk * using \\?\ requires absolute pathes to be used. Now all tests run * used gofmt on the code * Restructured Code. No patches dir, integrate the file functions into restic/fs/ There is still an issue, because restic.fs.Open has a different api the os.Open, which returns the result of OpenFile, but takes only a string * Changed the last os.Open() calls to fs.Open() after extending the File interface * fixed name-clash of restic.fs and fuse.fs detected by travis * fixed fmt with gofmt * c&p failure: removed fixpath() call. * missing include * fixed includes in linux variant * Fix for Linux. Fd() is required on File interface * done gofmt |

Introduction
restic is a backup program that is fast, efficient and secure. Detailed information can be found in the documentation and the user manual. The design document lists the technical background and gives detailed information about the structure of the repository and the data saved therein.
The latest documentation can be viewed online at https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest. On the bottom left corner there is a menu that allows switching to the documentation and user manual for the latest released version.
Build restic
Install Go/Golang (at least version 1.3), then run go run build.go,
afterwards you'll find the binary in the current directory:
$ go run build.go
$ ./restic --help
Usage:
restic [OPTIONS] <command>
[...]
More documentation can be found in the user manual.
At the moment, the only tested compiler for restic is the official Go compiler. Building restic with gccgo may work, but is not supported.
