Details

  • Bugfix #1633: Fixed unexpected 'pack file cannot be listed' error

    Due to a regression introduced in 0.8.2, the rebuild-index and prune commands failed to read pack files with size of 587, 588, 589 or 590 bytes.

    https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1633 https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1635

  • Bugfix #1641: Ignore files with invalid names in the repo

    The release 0.8.2 introduced a bug: when restic encounters files in the repo which do not have a valid name, it tries to load a file with a name of lots of zeroes instead of ignoring it. This is now resolved, invalid file names are just ignored.

    https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1641 https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1643

  • Bugfix #1638: Handle errors listing files in the backend

    A user reported in the forum that restic completes a backup although a concurrent prune operation was running. A few error messages were printed, but the backup was attempted and completed successfully. No error code was returned.

    This should not happen: The repository is exclusively locked during prune, so when restic backup is run in parallel, it should abort and return an error code instead.

    It was found that the bug was in the code introduced only recently, which retries a List() operation on the backend should that fail. It is now corrected.

  • Enhancement #1497: Add --read-data-subset flag to check command

    This change introduces ability to check integrity of a subset of repository data packs. This can be used to spread integrity check of larger repositories over a period of time.

    https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1497 https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1556

  • Enhancement #1560: Retry all repository file download errors

    Restic will now retry failed downloads, similar to other operations.

    https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1560

  • Enhancement #1623: Don't check for presence of files in the backend before writing

    Before, all backend implementations were required to return an error if the file that is to be written already exists in the backend. For most backends, that means making a request (e.g. via HTTP) and returning an error when the file already exists.

    This is not accurate, the file could have been created between the HTTP request testing for it, and when writing starts, so we've relaxed this requeriment, which saves one additional HTTP request per newly added file.

    https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1623

  • Enhancement #1634: Upgrade B2 client library, reduce HTTP requests

    We've upgraded the B2 client library restic uses to access BackBlaze B2. This reduces the number of HTTP requests needed to upload a new file from two to one, which should improve throughput to B2.

Changelog for restic 0.6.1 (2017-06-01)

The following sections list the changes in restic 0.6.1 relevant to restic users. The changes are ordered by importance.

Summary

  • Enh #985: Allow multiple parallel idle HTTP connections
  • Enh #981: Remove temporary path from binary in build.go
  • Enh #974: Remove regular status reports

Details

  • Enhancement #985: Allow multiple parallel idle HTTP connections

    Backends based on HTTP now allow several idle connections in parallel. This is especially important for the REST backend, which (when used with a local server) may create a lot connections and exhaust available ports quickly.

    https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/985 https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/986

  • Enhancement #981: Remove temporary path from binary in build.go

    The build.go now strips the temporary directory used for compilation from the binary. This is the first step in enabling reproducible builds.

    https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/981

  • Enhancement #974: Remove regular status reports

    Regular status report: We've removed the status report that was printed every 10 seconds when restic is run non-interactively. You can still force reporting the current status by sending a USR1 signal to the process.
