Important note about pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
|
|
corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
|
|
|
|
A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
|
|
not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
|
|
"borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
|
|
|
|
Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
|
|
|
|
1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
|
|
|
|
This could lead to corrupted segment files.
|
|
|
|
Fix::
|
|
|
|
# check for corrupt chunks / segments:
|
|
borg check -v --repository-only REPO
|
|
|
|
# repair the repo:
|
|
borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
|
|
|
|
# make sure everything is fixed:
|
|
borg check -v --repository-only REPO
|
|
|
|
2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
|
|
|
|
This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
|
|
|
|
Fix::
|
|
|
|
# check for corrupt archives:
|
|
borg check -v --archives-only REPO
|
|
|
|
# delete the corrupt archives:
|
|
borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
|
|
|
|
# make sure everything is fixed:
|
|
borg check -v --archives-only REPO
|
|
|
|
3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
|
|
|
|
The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
|
|
|
|
borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.1.0 (not released yet)
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- borg check: will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless
|
|
new --progress option is passed, #824.
|
|
- options that imply output (--show-rc, --show-version, --list, --stats,
|
|
--progress) don't need -v/--info to have that output displayed, #865
|
|
- borg recreate: re-create existing archives, #787 #686 #630 #70, also see
|
|
#757, #770.
|
|
|
|
- selectively remove files/dirs from old archives
|
|
- re-compress data
|
|
- re-chunkify data, e.g. to have upgraded Attic / Borg 0.xx archives
|
|
deduplicate with Borg 1.x archives or to experiment with chunker-params.
|
|
- create: visit files in inode order (better speed, esp. for large directories
|
|
and rotating disks)
|
|
- borg diff: show differences between archives
|
|
- borg list improved:
|
|
|
|
- removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
|
|
- --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
|
|
- now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
|
|
- new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
|
|
- supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes
|
|
(to avoid varying functionality depending on environment)
|
|
- prune:
|
|
|
|
- to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
|
|
reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
|
|
- implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
|
|
assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,
|
|
--keep-last N and --keep-secondly N are equivalent, #537
|
|
- borg comment: add archive comments, #842
|
|
- provide "borgfs" wrapper for borg mount, enables usage via fstab, #743
|
|
- create: add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
|
|
- --show-version: shows/logs the borg version, #725
|
|
- borg list/prune/delete: also output archive id, #731
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- init: clean up partial repo if passphrase input is aborted, #850
|
|
- info: quote cmdline arguments that have spaces in them
|
|
- failing hashindex tests on netbsd, #804
|
|
- fix links failing for extracting subtrees, #761
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- replace stdlib hmac with OpenSSL, zero-copy decrypt (10-15% increase in
|
|
performance of hash-lists and extract).
|
|
- Source:
|
|
|
|
- pass meta-data around, #765
|
|
- move some constants to new constants module
|
|
- better readability and less errors with namedtuples, #823
|
|
- Docs:
|
|
|
|
- better help texts and sphinx reproduction of usage help:
|
|
|
|
- Group options
|
|
- Nicer list of options in Sphinx
|
|
- Deduplicate 'Common options' (including --help)
|
|
- chunker: added some insights by "Voltara", #903
|
|
- clarify what "deduplicated size" means
|
|
- fix / update / add package list entries
|
|
- new contributors in AUTHORS!
|
|
- Tests:
|
|
|
|
- vagrant: add ubuntu/xenial 64bit - this box has still some issues
|
|
- ChunkBuffer: add test for leaving partial chunk in buffer, fixes #945
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.7 (not released yet)
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Security fixes:
|
|
|
|
- fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
|
|
borg will reject reading them, #1451.
|
|
|
|
Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
|
|
directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
|
|
e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
|
|
- lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
|
|
buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
|
|
- larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
|
|
- fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
|
|
|
|
Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
|
|
these would never be cleaned up.
|
|
- extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
|
|
|
|
- fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
|
|
being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
|
|
- fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
|
|
- raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
|
|
path being a integer FD
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- print active env var override by default, #1467
|
|
- xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
|
|
- repository: split object size check into too small and too big
|
|
- add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
|
|
filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
|
|
real problem.
|
|
- explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
|
|
- add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
|
|
- refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
|
|
- docs:
|
|
|
|
- document archive limitation, #1452
|
|
- improve prune examples
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
- catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
|
|
- fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
|
|
- files cache performance fixes (fixes unneccessary re-reading/chunking/
|

hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
|
|
|
|
- fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
|
|
- implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
|
|
to 20, #1338
|
|
- FUSE:

|
- cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
|
|
- always create a root dir, #1125
|
|
- use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
|
|
- RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
|
|
- ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
|
|
wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
|
|
a specific server borg version), #1392:
|
|
|
|
- add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
|
|
- add new placeholder {borgversion}
|
|
- substitute placeholders in --remote-path
|
|
|
|
- borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
|
|
more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
|
|
server), #1291.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- added platform feature matrix
|
|
- implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)

|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
|
|
the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
|
|
#148. (*) Also improved logging.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
|
|
Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
|
|
repository code.
|
|
- borg mount (FUSE):
|
|
|
|
- fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
|
|
#1295
|
|
- raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
|
|
used), #1302. (*)
|
|
- borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
|
|
- Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
|
|
- borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- tests:
|
|
|
|
- add more FUSE tests, #1284
|
|
- deduplicate fuse (u)mount code
|
|
- fix borg binary test issues, #862
|
|
- docs:
|
|
|
|
- changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
|
|
- fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
(*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
|
|
metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
|
|
replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
|
|
thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
|
|
repair was done with an older borg version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- backport some FAQ entries from master branch
|
|
- add release helper scripts
|
|
- Vagrantfile:
|
|
|
|
- centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
|
|
- add xz for redhat-like dists
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- borg serve --append-only, #1168
|
|
This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
|
|
was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
|
|
practically usable.
|
|
- BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
|
|
This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
|
|
was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
|
|
- Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
|
|
In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
|
|
problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
|
|
This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
|
|
repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
|
|
were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
|
|
case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
|
|
transaction rollback to clean up).
|
|
Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
|
|
error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
|
|
- Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
|
|
Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
|
|
bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
|
|
error reporting.
|
|
- Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
|
|
- repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
|
|
sync the containing directory.
|
|
- FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
|
|
(fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
|
|
- borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
|
|
If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
|
|
(replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
|
|
the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
|
|
(e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
|
|
- fixes for --read-special mode:
|
|
|
|
- ignore known files cache, #1241
|
|
- fake regular file mode, #1214
|
|
- improve symlinks handling, #1215
|
|
- remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
|
|
- Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
|
|
- add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
|
|
- improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
|
|
- catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
|
|
- helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
|
|
- better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
|
|
- borg delete:
|
|
|
|
- make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
|
|
- borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
|
|
- borg check:
|
|
|
|
- make borg check work for empty repo
|
|
- fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
|
|
- rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
|
|
- better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
|
|
- better validation of archive metadata dicts
|
|
- close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
|
|
This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
|
|
|
|
- tests:
|
|
|
|
- fix sparse file test, #1170
|
|
- flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
|
|
- catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
|
|
- fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
|
|
|

Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
|
|
a prune run), #997
|
|
- prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
|
|
considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
|
|
- fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
|
|
- repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
|
|
- when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
|
|
files are located in borg's key files directory.
|
|
- handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
|
|
- repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
|
|
space), #1063
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933

|
|
Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
|
|
architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
|
|
|
|
cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
|
|
leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
|
|
|
|
note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
|
|
in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
|
|
- add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
|
|
values, switch from int32 to uint32.
|
|
- fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
|
|
a overflow would have occured.
|
|
- borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
|
|
|
|
Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
|
|
- fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
|
|
filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
|
|
- workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
|
|
computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
|
|
- reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
|
|
- use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
|
|
- docs:
|
|
|
|
- use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
|
|
- fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
|
|
|

|
|
Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
|
|
due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
|
|
also:
|
|
|
|
- append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
|
|
- borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
|
|
even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
|
|
possibly CIFS).
|
|
- add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
|
|
it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
|
|
this on his own.
|
|
note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
|
|
work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
|
|
do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
|
|
|

Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
|
|
changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
|
|
check your backup logs.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility notes:
|
|
|
|
- drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
|
|
note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
|
|
needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
|
|
- change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
|
|
- moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
|
|
you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
|
|
- remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
|
|
use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
|
|
- remove deprecated --compression <number>,
|
|
use --compression zlib,<number> instead
|
|
in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
|
|
- remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
|
|
use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
|
|
- remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
|
|
use --one-file-system instead
|
|
- disambiguate -p option, #563:
|
|
|
|
- -p now is same as --progress
|
|
- -P now is same as --prefix
|
|
- remove deprecated "borg verify",
|
|
use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
|
|
- cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
|
|
the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
|
|
conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
|
|
value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
|
|
See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
|
|
- change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
|
|
--chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
|
|
|
|
one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
|
|
default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
|
|
also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
|
|
|
|
please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
|
|
have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
|
|
small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
|
|
changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
|
|
not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
|
|
|
|
in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
|
|
for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
|
|
continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
|
|
until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
|
|
usage).
|
|
|
|
if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
|
|
--chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
|
|
chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
|
|
explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
|
|
- archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
|
|
start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
|
|
creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
|
|
if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
|
|
needs to mean archive creation start time.
|
|
|

|
|
- it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
|
|
install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
|
|
for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build

Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Compatibility notes:
|
|
|
|
- you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
|
|
at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
|
|
See the "general" section in the usage docs.
|
|
- for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
|
|
list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
|
|
- see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
|
|
BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570
|
|
- make sure teardown with cleanup happens for Cache and RepositoryCache,
|
|
avoiding leftover locks and TEMP dir contents, #285 (partially), #548
|
|
- fix locking KeyError, partial fix for #502
|
|
- log stats consistently, #526
|
|
- add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496

|
|

|
|
version warning when using the borg binary, #514
|
|
- add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
|
|
- added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
|
|
- remove unused "repair" rpc method name
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
|
|
- borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
|
|
- borg extract: support patterns, #361
|
|
- support different styles for patterns:
|
|
|
|
- fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
|
|
- shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
|
|
`**/` matching 0..n directories
|
|
- path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
|
|
patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
|
|
- regular expression (`re:`), new!
|
|
- --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
|
|
- update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
|
|
files or for borg check repo), #500
|
|
- finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
|
|
- borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
|
|
file list output
|
|
- display borg version below tracebacks, #532
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
|
|
grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
|
|
- Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
|
|
fixes #569
|
|
- no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
|
|
also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
|
|
than debian7
|
|
- dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
|
|
- docs:
|
|
|
|
- add space-saving chunks.archive.d trick to FAQ
|
|
- important: clarify -v and log levels in usage -> general, please read!

|
- development docs: run build_api and build_usage before tagging release
|
|
- internals docs: hash table max. load factor is 0.75 now
|
|
- markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
|
|
- add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Compatibility notes:
|
|
|
|
- when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
|
|
installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
|
|
you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
|
|
option.
|
|
if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
|
|
suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
|
|
clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
|
|
- the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
|
|
better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
|
|
currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
|
|
if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
|
|
--lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
|
|
size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
|
|
- avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
|
|
- --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
|
|
- fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
|
|
- remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
|
|
- borg init: display proper repo URL
|
|
- fix format of umask in help pages, #463
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
|
|
- implement borg break-lock command, #157
|
|
- include system info below traceback, #324
|
|
- sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
|
|
|
|
- remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
|
|
with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
|
|
- remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
|
|
- add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
|
|
builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
|
|
note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
|
|
- optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
|
|
- add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
|
|
or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
|
|
- more progress indicators, #394
|
|
- use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
|
|
- "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
|

|
Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Compatibility notes:
|
|
|
|
- lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
|
|
- the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
|
|
compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
|
|
repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
|
|
default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
|
|
that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
|
|
archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
|
|
|
|
Deprecations:
|
|
|
|
- --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
|
|
We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
|
|
deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
|
|
--compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
|
|
BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
|
|
(which is the default).
|
|
--compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
|
|
--compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
|
|
data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
|
|
- create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
|
|
- create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
|
|
- create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
|
|
- honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
|
|
- list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
|
|
- close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
|
|
- close files which fell out the lrucache
|
|
- fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
|
|
the whole file, fixes #158.
|
|
- fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
|
|
- restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
|
|
(test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
|
|
without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
|
|
- more tests for archiver
|
|
- recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
|
|
- lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
|
|
- generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
|
|
- lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
|
|
- travis CI: use requirements file
|
|
- improved docs:
|
|
|
|
- replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
|
|
- update docs about compression
|
|
- update development docs about fakeroot
|
|
- internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
|
|
- support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
|
|
- theme: use a lighter green
|
|
- add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
|
|
- split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
|
|
|
|
- borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
|
|
on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
|
|
for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
|
|
server and client(s) to 0.24.
|
|
- the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
|
|
be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
|
|
you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
|
|
created by borg (e.g. the repository).
|
|
|
|
Deprecations:
|
|
|
|
- "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
|
|
See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
|
|
(attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
|
|
This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
|
|
so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
|
|
if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
|
|
See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
|
|
- borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
|
|
- borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
|
|
(attic #295).
|
|
- borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
|
|
fixes #85
|
|
- improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
|
|
- LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
|
|
- implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
|
|
- implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
|
|
- borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
|
|
- cache sync: show progress indication
|
|
- cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
- fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
|
|
signed size_t), #116
|
|
- fix the repair mode, #144
|
|
- repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
|
|
- more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
|
|
(attic #317, attic #201).
|
|
- better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
|
|
- create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
|
|
fixes attic #326.
|
|
- fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
|
|
- clarify help text, fixes #73.
|
|
- add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- improved docs:
|
|
|
|
- added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
|
|
"as is" into the html docs.
|
|
- document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
|
|
- web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
|

|
- short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them

- improved tox configuration
|
|
- remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
|
|
- use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
|
|
modern installs
|
|
- add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
|
|
- use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
|
|
- use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
|
|
|
|
I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
- efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
|
|
repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
|
|
attic #167)
|
|
- big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
|
|
- hashindex: improve error messages
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
|
|
- explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
|
|
- some easy micro optimizations
|
|
|
|
|
|
