Bugfix: Support non-UTF8 paths as symlink target
2023-07-29 00:30:40 +00:00
Earlier restic versions did not correctly `backup` and `restore` symlinks that
contain a non-UTF8 target. Note that this only affected systems that still use
a non-Unicode encoding for filesystem paths.
2023-07-29 00:30:40 +00:00
The repository format is now extended to add support for such symlinks. Please
note that snapshots must have been created with at least restic version 0.16.0
for `restore` to correctly handle non-UTF8 symlink targets when restoring them.
