|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1638
|
|
|
|
* 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.

|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1506: Limit bandwith at the http.RoundTripper for HTTP based backends
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1506
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1511
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1512: Restore directory permissions as the last step
|
|
|
|
This change allows restoring into directories that were not writable during backup. Before,
|
|
restic created the directory, set the read-only mode and then failed to create files in the
|
|
directory. This change now restores the directory (with its permissions) as the very last
|
|
step.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1512
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1536
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1528: Correctly create missing subdirs in data/
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1528
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1529
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1590: Strip spaces for lines read via --files-from
|
|
|
|
Leading and trailing spaces in lines read via `--files-from` are now stripped, so it behaves
|
|
the same as with lines read via `--exclude-file`.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1590
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1613
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1589: Complete intermediate index upload
|
|
|
|
After a user posted a comprehensive report of what he observed, we were able to find a bug and
|
|
correct it: During backup, restic uploads so-called "intermediate" index files. When the
|
|
backup finishes during a transfer of such an intermediate index, the upload is cancelled, but
|
|
the backup is finished without an error. This leads to an inconsistent state, where the
|
|
snapshot references data that is contained in the repo, but is not referenced in any index.
|
|
|
|
The situation can be resolved by building a new index with `rebuild-index`, but looks very
|
|
confusing at first. Since all the data got uploaded to the repo successfully, there was no risk
|
|
of data loss, just minor inconvenience for our users.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1589
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1594: Google Cloud Storage: Use generic HTTP transport
|
|
|
|
It was discovered that the Google Cloud Storage backend did not use the generic HTTP transport,
|
|
so things such as bandwidth limiting with `--limit-upload` did not work. This is resolved now.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1594
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1595: Backup: Remove bandwidth display
|
|
|
|
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 the new archiver code
|
|
is ready.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1595
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1522: Add support for TLS client certificate authentication
|
|
|
|
Support has been added for using a TLS client certificate for authentication to HTTP based
|
|
backend. A file containing the PEM encoded private key and certificate can be set using the
|
|
`--tls-client-cert` option.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1522
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1524
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1541: Reduce number of remote requests during repository check
|
|
|
|
This change eliminates redundant remote repository calls and significantly improves
|
|
repository check time.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1541
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1548
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1567: Reduce number of backend requests for rebuild-index and prune
|
|
|
|
We've found a way to reduce then number of backend requests for the `rebuild-index` and `prune`
|
|
operations. This significantly speeds up the operations for high-latency backends.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1567
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1574
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1575
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1507: Only reload snapshots once per minute for fuse mount
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1507
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1538: Reduce memory allocations for querying the index
|
|
|
|
This change reduces the internal memory allocations when the index data structures in memory
|
|
are queried if a blob (part of a file) already exists in the repo. It should speed up backup a bit,
|
|
and maybe even reduce RAM usage.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1538
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1549: Speed up querying across indices and scanning existing files
|
|
|
|
This change increases the whenever a blob (part of a file) is searched for in a restic
|
|
repository. This will reduce cpu usage some when backing up files already backed up by restic.
|
|
Cpu usage is further decreased when scanning files.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1549
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1554: Fuse/mount: Correctly handle EOF, add template option
|
|
|
|
We've added the `--snapshot-template` string, which can be used to specify a template for a
|
|
snapshot directory. In addition, accessing data after the end of a file via the fuse mount is now
|
|
handled correctly.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1554
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1564: Don't terminate ssh on SIGINT
|
|
|
|
We've reworked the code which runs the `ssh` login for the sftp backend so that it can prompt for a
|
|
password (if needed) but does not exit when the user presses CTRL+C (SIGINT) e.g. during
|
|
backup. This allows restic to properly shut down when it receives SIGINT and remove the lock
|
|
file from the repo, afterwards exiting the `ssh` process.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1564
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1588
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1579: Retry Backend.List() in case of errors
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1579
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1584: Limit index file size
|
|
|
|
Before, restic would create a single new index file on `prune` or `rebuild-index`, this may
|
|
lead to memory problems when this huge index is created and loaded again. We're now limiting the
|
|
size of the index file, and split newly created index files into several smaller ones. This
|
|
allows restic to be more memory-efficient.

* Bugfix #1457: Improve s3 backend with DigitalOcean Spaces
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1457
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1459
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1454: Correct cache dir location for Windows and Darwin
|
|
|
|
The cache directory on Windows and Darwin was not correct, instead the directory `.cache` was
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1454
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1459: Disable handling SIGPIPE
|
|
|
|
We've disabled handling SIGPIPE again. Turns out, writing to broken TCP connections also
|
|
raised SIGPIPE, so restic exits on the first write to a broken connection. Instead, restic
|
|
should retry the request.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1457
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1466
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1459
|
|
|
|
* Change #1452: Do not save atime by default
|
|
|
|
By default, the access time for files and dirs is not saved any more. It is not possible to
|
|
reliably disable updating the access time during a backup, so for the next backup the access
|
|
time is different again. This means a lot of metadata is saved. If you want to save the access time
|
|
anyway, pass `--with-atime` to the `backup` command.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1452
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1436: Add code to detect old cache directories
|
|
|
|
We've added code to detect old cache directories of repositories that haven't been used in a
|
|
long time, restic now prints a note when it detects that such dirs exist. Also, the option
|
|
`--cleanup-cache` was added to automatically remove such directories. That's not a problem
|
|
because the cache will be rebuild once a repo is accessed again.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1436
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1439: Improve cancellation logic
|
|
|
|
The cancellation logic was improved, restic can now shut down cleanly when requested to do so
|
|
(e.g. via ctrl+c).
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1439
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #11: Add the `diff` command
|
|
|
|
The command `diff` was added, it allows comparing two snapshots and listing all differences.

|
|
|
* Security #1445: Prevent writing outside the target directory during restore
|
|
|
|
A vulnerability was found in the restic restorer, which allowed attackers in special
|
|
circumstances to restore files to a location outside of the target directory. Due to the
|
|
circumstances we estimate this to be a low-risk vulnerability, but urge all users to upgrade to
|
|
the latest version of restic.
|
|
|
|
Exploiting the vulnerability requires a Linux/Unix system which saves backups via restic and
|
|
a Windows systems which restores files from the repo. In addition, the attackers need to be able
|
|
to create create files with arbitrary names which are then saved to the restic repo. For
|
|
example, by creating a file named "..\test.txt" (which is a perfectly legal filename on Linux)
|
|
and restoring a snapshot containing this file on Windows, it would be written to the parent of
|
|
the target directory.
|
|
|
|
We'd like to thank Tyler Spivey for reporting this responsibly!
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1445
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1256: Re-enable workaround for S3 backend
|
|
|
|
We've re-enabled a workaround for `minio-go` (the library we're using to access s3 backends),
|
|
this reduces memory usage.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1256
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1267
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1291: Reuse backend TCP connections to BackBlaze B2
|
|
|
|
A bug was discovered in the library we're using to access Backblaze, it now reuses already
|
|
established TCP connections which should be a lot faster and not cause network failures any
|
|
more.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1291
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1301
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1317: Run prune when `forget --prune` is called with just snapshot IDs
|
|
|
|
A bug in the `forget` command caused `prune` not to be run when `--prune` was specified without a
|
|
policy, e.g. when only snapshot IDs that should be forgotten are listed manually.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1317
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1437: Remove implicit path `/restic` for the s3 backend
|
|
|
|
The s3 backend used the subdir `restic` within a bucket if no explicit path after the bucket name
|
|
was specified. Since this version, restic does not use this default path any more. If you
|
|
created a repo on s3 in a bucket without specifying a path within the bucket, you need to add
|
|
`/restic` at the end of the repository specification to access your repo:
|
|
`s3:s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/restic`
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1292
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1437
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1102: Add subdirectory `ids` to fuse mount
|
|
|
|
The fuse mount now has an `ids` subdirectory which contains the snapshots below their (short)
|
|
IDs.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1102
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1299
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1320
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1114: Add `--cacert` to specify TLS certificates to check against
|
|
|
|
We've added the `--cacert` option which can be used to pass one (or more) CA certificates to
|
|
restic. These are used in addition to the system CA certificates to verify HTTPS certificates
|
|
(e.g. for the REST backend).
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1114
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1276
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1216: Add upload/download limiting
|
|
|
|
We've added support for rate limiting through `--limit-upload` and `--limit-download`
|
|
flags.

|
* Enhancement #1274: Add `generate` command, replaces `manpage` and `autocomplete`
|
|
|
|
The `generate` command has been added, which replaces the now removed commands `manpage` and
|
|
`autocomplete`. This release of restic contains the most recent manpages in `doc/man` and the
|
|
auto-completion files for bash and zsh in `doc/bash-completion.sh` and

* Enhancement #1367: Allow comments in files read from via `--file-from`
|
|
|
|
When the list of files/dirs to be saved is read from a file with `--files-from`, comment lines
|
|
(starting with `#`) are now ignored.

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1270
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #510: Add `dump` command
|
|
|
|
We've added the `dump` command which prints a file from a snapshot to stdout. This can e.g. be
|
|
used to restore files read with `backup --stdin`.

|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1346
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1040: Add local metadata cache
|
|
|
|
We've added a local cache for metadata so that restic doesn't need to load all metadata
|
|
(snapshots, indexes, ...) from the repo each time it starts. By default the cache is active, but
|
|
there's a new global option `--no-cache` that can be used to disable the cache. By deafult, the
|
|
cache a standard cache folder for the OS, which can be overridden with `--cache-dir`. The cache
|
|
will automatically populate, indexes and snapshots are saved as they are loaded. Cache
|
|
directories for repos that haven't been used recently can automatically be removed by restic
|
|
with the `--cleanup-cache` option.
|
|
|
|
A related change was to by default create pack files in the repo that contain either data or
|
|
metadata, not both mixed together. This allows easy caching of only the metadata files. The
|
|
next run of `restic prune` will untangle mixed files automatically.

* Enhancement #1249: Add `latest` symlink in fuse mount
|
|
|
|
The directory structure in the fuse mount now exposes a symlink `latest` which points to the
|
|
latest snapshot in that particular directory.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1249
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1269: Add `--compact` to `forget` command
|
|
|
|
The option `--compact` was added to the `forget` command to provide the same compact view as the
|
|
`snapshots` command.

|
|
* Enhancement #1281: Google Cloud Storage backend needs less permissions
|
|
|
|
The Google Cloud Storage backend no longer requires the service account to have the

|
`storage.buckets.get` permission ("Storage Admin" role) in `restic init` if the bucket
|
|
already exists.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1281
|
|

|
* Bugfix #1246: List all files stored in Google Cloud Storage
|
|
|
|
For large backups stored in Google Cloud Storage, the `prune` command fails because listing
|
|
only returns the first 1000 files. This has been corrected, no data is lost in the process. In
|
|
addition, a plausibility check was added to `prune`.

|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1167: Do not create a local repo unless `init` is used
|
|
|
|
When a restic command other than `init` is used with a local repository and the repository
|
|
directory does not exist, restic creates the directory structure. That's an error, only the
|
|
`init` command should create the dir.

|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1182
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1164: Make the `key remove` command behave as documented
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1164
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1191: Make sure to write profiling files on interrupt
|
|
|
|
Since a few releases restic had the ability to write profiling files for memory and CPU usage
|
|
when `debug` is enabled. It was discovered that when restic is interrupted (ctrl+c is
|
|
pressed), the proper shutdown hook is not run. This is now corrected.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1191
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1132: Make `key` command always prompt for a password
|
|
|
|
The `key` command now prompts for a password even if the original password to access a repo has
|
|
been specified via the `RESTIC_PASSWORD` environment variable or a password file.

|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1179
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1209
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1218: Add `--compact` to `snapshots` command
|
|
|
|
The option `--compact` was added to the `snapshots` command to get a better overview of the
|
|
snapshots in a repo. It limits each snapshot to a single line.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1218
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1223
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #317: Add `--exclude-caches` and `--exclude-if-present`
|
|
|
|
A new option `--exclude-caches` was added that allows excluding cache directories (that are
|
|
tagged as such). This is a special case of a more generic option `--exclude-if-present` which
|
|
excludes a directory if a file with a specific name (and contents) is present.

|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1126: Use the standard Go git repository layout, use `dep` for vendoring
|
|
|
|
The git repository layout was changed to resemble the layout typically used in Go projects,
|
|
we're not using `gb` for building restic any more and vendoring the dependencies is now taken
|
|
care of by `dep`.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1126

|
|
|
* Enhancement #1149: Add support for storing backups on Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
|
|
|
|
The library we're using to access the service requires Go 1.8, so restic now needs at least Go
|
|
1.8.

|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1115: Fix `prune`, only include existing files in indexes
|
|
|
|
A bug was found (and corrected) in the index rebuilding after prune, which led to indexes which
|
|
include blobs that were not present in the repo any more. There were already checks in place
|
|
which detected this situation and aborted with an error message. A new run of either `prune` or
|
|
`rebuild-index` corrected the index files. This is now fixed and a test has been added to detect
|
|
this.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1115
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1055: Create subdirs below `data/` for local/sftp backends
|
|
|
|
The local and sftp backends now create the subdirs below `data/` on open/init. This way, restic
|
|
makes sure that they always exist. This is connected to an issue for the sftp server:

|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1067: Allow loading credentials for s3 from IAM
|
|
|
|
When no S3 credentials are specified in the environment variables, restic now tries to load
|
|
credentials from an IAM instance profile when the s3 backend is used.

* Enhancement #1073: Add `migrate` cmd to migrate from `s3legacy` to `default` layout
|
|
|
|
The `migrate` command for chaning the `s3legacy` layout to the `default` layout for s3
|
|
backends has been improved: It can now be restarted with `restic migrate --force s3_layout`
|
|
and automatically retries operations on error.

|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #1013: Switch back to using the high-level minio-go API for s3
|
|
|
|
For the s3 backend we're back to using the high-level API the s3 client library for uploading
|
|
data, a few users reported dropped connections (which the library will automatically retry
|
|
now).
|
|
|
|

|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1023
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1025
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix #965: Switch to `default` repo layout for the s3 backend
|
|
|
|
The default layout for the s3 backend is now `default` (instead of `s3legacy`). Also, there's a
|
|
new `migrate` command to convert an existing repo, it can be run like this: `restic migrate
|
|
s3_layout`
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/965
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1004
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1021: Detect invalid backend name and print error
|
|
|
|
Restic now tries to detect when an invalid/unknown backend is used and returns an error
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1021
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1070
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #1029: Remove invalid pack files when `prune` is run
|
|
|
|
The `prune` command has been improved and will now remove invalid pack files, for example files
|
|
that have not been uploaded completely because a backup was interrupted.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/1029
|

|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/512
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/978
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #636: Add dirs `tags` and `hosts` to fuse mount
|
|
|
|
The fuse mount now has two more directories: `tags` contains a subdir for each tag, which in turn
|
|
contains only the snapshots that have this tag. The subdir `hosts` contains a subdir for each
|
|
host that has a snapshot, and the subdir contains the snapshots for that host.

|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/636
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1050
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #989: Improve performance of the `find` command
|
|
|
|
Improved performance for the `find` command: Restic recognizes paths it has already checked
|
|
for the files in question, so the number of backend requests is reduced a lot.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/989

https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/648
|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #998: Improve performance of the fuse mount
|
|
|
|
Listing directories which contain large files now is significantly faster.

Summary
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Enh #985: Allow multiple parallel idle HTTP connections

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
|

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.

|
|
|
* Enhancement #957: Make `forget` consistent
|
|
|
|
The `forget` command was corrected to be more consistent in which snapshots are to be
|
|
forgotten. It is possible that the new code removes more snapshots than before, so please
|
|
review what would be deleted by using the `--dry-run` option.

|
|
|
* Enhancement #966: Unify repository layout for all backends
|
|
|
|
Up to now the s3 backend used a special repository layout. We've decided to unify the repository
|
|
layout and implemented the default layout also for the s3 backend. For creating a new
|
|
repository on s3 with the default layout, use `restic -o s3.layout=default init`. For further
|
|
commands the option is not necessary any more, restic will automatically detect the correct
|
|
layout to use. A future version will switch to the default layout for new repositories.

|
|
|
|
* Enhancement #962: Improve memory and runtime for the s3 backend
|
|
|
|
We've updated the library used for accessing s3, switched to using a lower level API and added
|
|
caching for some requests. This lead to a decrease in memory usage and a great speedup. In
|
|
addition, we added benchmark functions for all backends, so we can track improvements over
|
|
time. The Continuous Integration test service we're using (Travis) now runs the s3 backend
|
|
tests not only against a Minio server, but also against the Amazon s3 live service, so we should
|
|
be notified of any regressions much sooner.
