Use the `Original` field of the copied snapshot to store a persistent
snapshot ID. This can either be the ID of the source snapshot if
`Original` was not yet set or the previous value stored in the
`Original` field. In order to still copy snapshots modified using the
tags command the source snapshot is compared to all snapshots in the
destination repository which have the same persistent ID. Snapshots are
only considered equal if all fields except `Original` and `Parent`
match. That way modified snapshots are still copied while avoiding
duplicate copies at the same time.
The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.
Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).
Previously the directory stats were reported immediately after calling
`SaveDir`. However, as the latter method saves the tree asynchronously
the stats were still initialized to their nil value. The stats are now
reported via a callback similar to the one used for the fileSaver.
Add a copy command to copy snapshots between repositories. It allows the user
to specify a destination repository, password, password-file, password-command
or key-hint to supply the necessary details to open the destination repository.
You need to supply a list of snapshots to copy, snapshots which already exist
in the destination repository will be skipped.
Note, when using the network this becomes rather slow, as it needs to read the
blocks, decrypt them using the source key, then encrypt them again using the
destination key before finally writing them out to the destination repository.
The slicing operator `slice[low:high]` default to 0 for the lower bound and
len(slice) for the upper bound when either or both are not specified.
Fix the code to use `cap(slice)` to check for the slice capacity.
If a blob in a pack file can be decrypted successfully but contains data
that results in a different hash than stated in the header pack, then
abort repacking. As both the pack header and the blob are
cryptographically verified this either means than a malicious entity
tampered with the backup or indicates hardware problems on the client.
prune should fail with an error in both cases.
The old behavior was problematic in the context of rebuild-index as it
could leave old, possibly invalid index files behind without returning a
fatal error.
Prune calls rebuildIndex before removing any data from the repository.
For this use case failing to delete an old index MUST be treated as a
fatal error. Otherwise the index could still contain an old index file
that refers to blobs/packs that were later on deleted by prune. Later
backup runs will assume that the affected blobs already exist in the
repository which results in a backup which misses data.
The previous check only approximately verified whether all required
blobs were found. However, after forgetting a few snapshots the
repository contains lots of unused blobs whose number can be sufficient
to make up for missing packs.
When coupled with a malfunctioning backend that temporarily returns broken
data this could cause restic to regard the corresponding packs as
invalid and thereby delete data that's still in use. This change lets
restic play it safe and refuse to delete anything if data is missing.
