restic 0.11.0

@fd0 fd0 released this yesterday · 32 commits to master since this release

We're very pleased to present you restic 0.11.0! restic is distributed as a
standalone binary: download the correct file for your operating system and
architecture, extract the file and just run it. If you run into any issues,
please report them at the GitHub issue tracker or visit the forum. If you
already have restic >= 0.9.4, you can use restic self-update to get the latest
version in a secure way.

The binaries released with each restic version are reproducible, which means
that you can reproduce a byte identical version from the source code for that
release. Instructions on how to do that in the Developer Documentation.

Details

    Bugfix #1212: Restore timestamps and permissions on intermediate
directories

    When using the --include option of the restore command, restic restored
timestamps and permissions only on directories selected by the include pattern.
Intermediate directories, which are necessary to restore files located in sub-
directories, were created with default permissions. We've fixed the restore
command to restore timestamps and permissions for these directories as well.

    #1212 #1402 #2906

    Bugfix #1756: Mark repository files as read-only when using the local
backend

    Files stored in a local repository were marked as writeable on the
filesystem for non-Windows systems, which did not prevent accidental file
modifications outside of restic. In addition, the local backend did not work
with certain filesystems and network mounts which do not permit modifications
of file permissions.

    Restic now marks files stored in a local repository as read-only on the
filesystem on non-Windows systems. The error handling is improved to support
more filesystems.

    #1756 #2157 #2989

    Bugfix #2241: Hide password in REST backend repository URLs

    When using a password in the REST backend repository URL, the password
could in some cases be included in the output from restic, e.g. when
initializing a repo or during an error.

    The password is now replaced with "***" where applicable.

    #2241 #2658

    Bugfix #2319: Correctly dump directories into tar files

    The dump command previously wrote directories in a tar file in a way which
can cause compatibility problems. This caused, for example, 7zip on Windows to
not open tar files containing directories. In addition it was not possible to
dump directories with extended attributes. These compatibility problems are now
corrected.

    In addition, a tar file now includes the name of the owner and group of a
file.

    #2319 #3039

    Bugfix #2491: Don't require self-update --output placeholder file

    restic self-update --output /path/to/new-restic used to require that
new-restic was an existing file, to be overwritten. Now it's possible to
download an updated restic binary to a new path, without first having to create
a placeholder file.

    #2491 #2937

    Bugfix #2834: Fix rare cases of backup command hanging forever

    We've fixed an issue with the backup progress reporting which could cause
restic to hang forever right before finishing a backup.

    #2834 #2963

    Bugfix #2938: Fix manpage formatting

    The manpage formatting in restic v0.10.0 was garbled, which is fixed now.

    #2938 #2977

    Bugfix #2942: Make --exclude-larger-than handle disappearing files

    There was a small bug in the backup command's --exclude-larger-than option
where files that disappeared between scanning and actually backing them up to
the repository caused a panic. This is now fixed.

    #2942

    Bugfix #2951: Restic generate, help and self-update no longer check
passwords

    The commands restic cache, generate, help and self-update don't need
passwords, but they previously did run the RESTIC_PASSWORD_COMMAND (if set in
the environment), prompting users to authenticate for no reason. They now skip
running the password command.

    #2951 #2987

    Bugfix #2979: Make snapshots --json output [] instead of null when no
snapshots

    Restic previously output null instead of [] for the --json snapshots
command, when there were no snapshots in the repository. This caused some minor
problems when parsing the output, but is now fixed such that [] is output when
the list of snapshots is empty.

    #2979 #2984

    Enhancement #2969: Optimize check for unchanged files during backup

    During a backup restic skips processing files which have not changed since
the last backup run. Previously this required opening each file once which can
be slow on network filesystems. The backup command now checks for file changes
before opening a file. This considerably reduces the time to create a backup on
network filesystems.

    #2969 #2970

    Enhancement #340: Add support for Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) on
Windows

    Volume Shadow Copy Service allows read access to files that are locked by
another process using an exclusive lock through a filesystem snapshot. Restic
was unable to backup those files before. This update enables backing up these
files.

    This needs to be enabled explicitely using the --use-fs-snapshot option of
the backup command.

    #340 #2274

    Enhancement #2849: Authenticate to Google Cloud Storage with access token

    When using the GCS backend, it is now possible to authenticate with OAuth2
access tokens instead of a credentials file by setting the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN
environment variable.

    #2849

    Enhancement #1458: New option --repository-file

    We've added a new command-line option --repository-file as an alternative
to -r. This allows to read the repository URL from a file in order to prevent
certain types of information leaks, especially for URLs containing credentials.

    #1458 #2900 #2910

    Enhancement #2978: Warn if parent snapshot cannot be loaded during backup

    During a backup restic uses the parent snapshot to check whether a file was
changed and has to be backed up again. For this check the backup has to read
the directories contained in the old snapshot. If a tree blob cannot be loaded,
restic now warns about this problem with the backup repository.
