Bugfix: Exclude irregular files from backups Since restic 0.17.1, files with the type irregular could mistakenly be included in snapshots, especially when backing up special file types on Windows that restic cannot process. This issue has been fixed. Previously, this bug caused the `check` command to report errors like the following one: ``` tree 12345678[...]: node "example.zip" with invalid type "irregular" ``` To repair affected snapshots, upgrade to restic 0.17.2 and run: ``` restic repair snapshots --forget ``` This will remove the `irregular` files from the snapshots. https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/5057 https://forum.restic.net/t/errors-found-by-check-1-invalid-type-irregular-2-ciphertext-verification-failed/8447/2
