  1. Important notes
  2. ===============
  3. This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
  4. .. _tam_vuln:
  5. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  6. ----------------------------------------------------------
  7. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  8. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  9. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  10. 2. gain write access to the repository
  11. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  12. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  13. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  14. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  15. for large archives.
  16. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  17. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  18. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  19. Steps you should take:
  20. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  21. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  22. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  23. 4. Done.
  24. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  25. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  26. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  27. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  28. otherwise.
  29. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  30. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  31. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  32. This attack is mitigated by:
  33. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  34. contain the archive IDs.
  35. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  36. Vulnerability time line:

  43. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  44. -----------------------------
  45. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  46. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  47. archives. See issue #1837.
  48. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  49. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  50. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  51. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  52. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  53. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  54. -----------------------------------
  55. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  56. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  57. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  58. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  59. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  60. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  61. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  62. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  63. Fix::
  64. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  65. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  66. # repair the repo:
  67. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  68. # make sure everything is fixed:
  69. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  70. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  71. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  72. Fix::
  73. # check for corrupt archives:
  74. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  75. # delete the corrupt archives:
  76. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  77. # make sure everything is fixed:
  78. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  79. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  80. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  81. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  225. New features:
  226. - added BORG_PASSCOMMAND environment variable, #2573
  227. - add minimal version of in repository mandatory feature flags, #2134
  228. This should allow us to make sure older borg versions can be cleanly
  229. prevented from doing operations that are no longer safe because of
  230. repository format evolution. This allows more fine grained control than
  231. just incrementing the manifest version. So for example a change that
  232. still allows new archives to be created but would corrupt the repository
  233. when an old version tries to delete an archive or check the repository
  234. would add the new feature to the check and delete set but leave it out
  235. of the write set.
  236. - borg delete --force --force to delete severely corrupted archives, #1975

  273. to break was fixed in cygwin at least since cygwin 2.8, maybe even since
  274. 2.7.0).
  275. - remove skipping the noatime tests on GNU/Hurd, #2710
  276. - fix borg import issue, add comment, #2718
  277. - include attic.tar.gz when installing the package
  278. also: add include_package_data=True

  284. or is set inconsistently across computers accessing the same repository, #2115
  285. - Fixed testing regression in 1.0.10rc1 that lead to a hard dependency on
  286. py.test >= 3.0, #2112
  287. New features:

  289. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  290. ``--qr-html`` option.
  291. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  292. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  293. "key export" files and key files.
  294. Other changes:
  295. - docs:
  296. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  297. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  298. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  299. Version 1.0.10rc1 (2017-01-29)

  439. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  440. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  441. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  442. Other changes:
  443. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  444. due to the changed canonicalization for relative pathes in PR #1711 / #1655
  445. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  446. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  447. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  448. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  449. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  450. - docs:
  451. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet
  452. - add clarification about append-only mode, #1689
  453. - setup.py: add comment about requiring llfuse, #1726
  454. - update usage.rst / api.rst
  455. - repo url / archive location docs + typo fix
  456. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  457. - vagrant / tests:
  458. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  459. - fix fuse permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  460. - skip fuse test for borg binary + fakeroot
  461. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  462. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  463. -----------------------------
  464. Bug fixes:
  465. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  466. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  467. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  468. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  469. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  470. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  471. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  472. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  473. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  474. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  475. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  476. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  477. was openend. add an error message for this.
  478. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  479. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  480. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  481. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  482. - enable relative pathes in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  483. - allow repo pathes with colons, #1705
  484. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  485. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  486. #1684
  487. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  488. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  489. New features:
  490. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  491. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  492. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  493. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  494. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  495. soon as it is input.
  496. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  497. #1352
  498. Other changes:
  499. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  500. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  501. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  502. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  503. dataflow direction.
  504. - improved messages / error reporting:
  505. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  506. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  507. #1572
  508. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  509. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  510. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  511. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  512. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  513. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  514. fuse/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  515. - docs:
  516. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  517. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  518. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  519. - add bestpractices badge
  520. - link reference docs and faq about BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, #1561
  521. - improve borg info --help, explain size infos, #1532
  522. - add release signing key / security contact to README, #1560
  523. - add contribution guidelines for developers
  524. - development.rst: add sphinx_rtd_theme to the sphinx install command
  525. - adjust border color in borg.css
  526. - add debug-info usage help file
  527. - internals.rst: fix typos
  528. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  529. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  530. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  531. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  532. - tests:
  533. - work around fuse xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  534. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  535. - travis: test fuse-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  536. - re-enable fuse tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  537. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  538. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  539. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  540. --------------------------
  541. Security fixes:
  542. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  543. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  544. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  545. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  546. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  547. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  548. the pathes you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  549. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  550. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  551. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  552. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  553. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  554. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  555. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path pathes now. We are sorry if
  556. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  557. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  558. Bug fixes:
  559. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  560. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  561. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  562. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  563. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  564. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  565. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  566. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  567. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  568. New features:
  569. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  570. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  571. Other changes:
  572. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  573. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  574. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  575. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  576. -----------------------------
  577. Bug fixes:
  578. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  579. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  580. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  581. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  582. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  583. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  584. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  585. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  586. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  587. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  588. these would never be cleaned up.
  589. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  590. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  591. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  592. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  593. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  594. path being a integer FD
  595. Other changes:
  596. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  597. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  598. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  599. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  600. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  601. real problem.
  602. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  603. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  604. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  605. - docs:
  606. - document archive limitation, #1452
  607. - improve prune examples
  608. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  609. -----------------------------
  610. Bug fixes:
  611. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  612. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  613. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  614. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unneccessary re-reading/chunking/
  615. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  616. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  617. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  618. to 20, #1338
  619. - FUSE:
  620. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  621. - always create a root dir, #1125
  622. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  623. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  624. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  625. New features:
  626. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  627. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  628. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  629. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  630. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  631. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  632. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  633. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  634. server), #1291.
  635. Other changes:
  636. - Vagrantfile:
  637. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  638. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  639. - tests:
  640. - fix fuse tests on OS X, #1433
  641. - docs:
  642. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  643. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  644. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  645. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  646. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  647. - added platform feature matrix
  648. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  649. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  650. --------------------------
  651. Bug fixes:
  652. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  653. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  654. Other changes:
  655. - tests:
  656. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  657. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  658. - docs:
  659. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  660. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  661. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  662. -----------------------------
  663. New features:
  664. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  665. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  666. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  667. Bug fixes:
  668. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  669. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  670. repository code.
  671. - borg mount (FUSE):
  672. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  673. #1295
  674. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  675. used), #1302. (*)
  676. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  677. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  678. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  679. Other changes:
  680. - tests:
  681. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  682. - deduplicate fuse (u)mount code
  683. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  684. - docs:
  685. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  686. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  687. Notes:
  688. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  689. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  690. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  691. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  692. repair was done with an older borg version.
  693. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  694. --------------------------
  695. Bug fixes:
  696. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  697. Other changes:
  698. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  699. - add release helper scripts
  700. - Vagrantfile:
  701. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  702. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  703. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  704. --------------------------
  705. New features:
  706. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  707. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  708. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  709. practically usable.
  710. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  711. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  712. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  713. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  714. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  715. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  716. Bug fixes:
  717. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  718. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  719. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  720. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  721. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  722. transaction rollback to clean up).
  723. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  724. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  725. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  726. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  727. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  728. error reporting.
  729. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  730. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  731. sync the containing directory.
  732. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  733. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  734. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  735. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  736. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  737. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  738. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  739. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  740. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  741. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  742. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  743. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  744. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  745. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  746. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  747. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  748. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  749. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  750. - borg delete:
  751. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  752. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  753. - borg check:
  754. - make borg check work for empty repo
  755. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  756. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  757. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  758. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  759. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  760. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  761. - tests:
  762. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  763. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  764. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  765. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  766. Other changes:
  767. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  768. - docs / help:
  769. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  770. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  771. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  772. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  773. - document sshd settings, #545
  774. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  775. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  776. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  777. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  778. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  779. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  780. - update cygwin installation docs
  781. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  782. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  783. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  784. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  785. - tests: add tests for format_line
  786. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  787. - Vagrantfile:
  788. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  789. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  790. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  791. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  792. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  793. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  794. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  795. --------------------------
  796. Bug fixes:
  797. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  798. a prune run), #997
  799. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  800. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  801. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  802. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  803. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  804. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  805. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  806. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  807. space), #1063
  808. Other changes:
  809. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  810. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  811. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  812. - docs / help:
  813. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  814. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  815. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  816. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  817. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  818. --------------------------
  819. Bug fixes:
  820. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  821. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  822. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  823. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  824. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  825. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  826. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  827. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  828. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  829. a overflow would have occured.
  830. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  831. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  832. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  833. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  834. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  835. Other changes:
  836. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  837. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  838. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  839. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  840. - docs:
  841. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  842. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  843. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  844. --------------------------
  845. New features:
  846. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  847. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  848. also:
  849. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  850. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  851. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  852. possibly CIFS).
  853. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  854. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  855. this on his own.
  856. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  857. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  858. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  859. Bug fixes:
  860. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  861. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  862. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  863. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  864. - fix build on illumos
  865. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  866. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  867. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  868. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  869. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  870. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  871. instead, #791
  872. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  873. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  874. #798
  875. Other changes:
  876. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  877. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  878. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  879. - docs:

  882. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  883. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  884. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  885. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  886. --------------------------
  887. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  888. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  889. check your backup logs.
  890. Compatibility notes:
  891. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  892. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  893. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  894. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  895. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  896. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  897. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  898. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  899. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  900. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  901. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  902. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  903. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  904. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  905. use --one-file-system instead
  906. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  907. - -p now is same as --progress
  908. - -P now is same as --prefix
  909. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  910. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  911. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  912. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  913. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  914. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  915. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  916. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  917. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  918. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  919. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  920. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  921. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  922. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  923. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  924. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  925. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  926. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  927. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  928. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  929. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  930. usage).
  931. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  932. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  933. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  934. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  935. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  936. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  937. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  938. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  939. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  940. New features:
  941. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  942. Bug fixes:
  943. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  944. - added retry counter for passwords, #703

  960. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  961. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  962. as borg info, #651
  963. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  964. Other changes:
  965. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  966. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  967. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  968. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  969. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  970. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  971. - docs:
  972. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported

  974. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  975. - fix order in release process
  976. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  1004. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  1005. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:

  1024. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  1025. ---------------------------
  1026. Compatibility notes:
  1027. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1028. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1029. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1030. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1031. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1032. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1033. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)

  1048. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1049. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1050. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1051. - support different styles for patterns:
  1052. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1053. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1054. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1055. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1056. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1057. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1058. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  1061. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  1062. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1063. file list output
  1064. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1065. Other changes:
  1066. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1067. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1068. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1069. fixes #569
  1070. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1071. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1072. than debian7
  1073. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1074. - docs:

  1088. - markup, typo, grammar, phrasing, clarifications and other fixes.
  1089. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1090. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1091. ---------------------------
  1092. Compatibility notes:
  1093. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1094. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1095. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1096. option.
  1097. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1098. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1099. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1100. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1101. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1102. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1103. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1104. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1105. Bug fixes:
  1106. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1107. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1108. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1109. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1110. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1111. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1112. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1113. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1114. New features:
  1115. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1116. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1117. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1118. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1119. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1120. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1121. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1122. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1123. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1124. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1125. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1126. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1127. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1128. - more progress indicators, #394
  1129. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1130. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  1131. Other changes:
  1132. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  1133. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  1134. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239

  1349. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  1350. ---------------------------
  1351. Compatibility notes:
  1352. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  1353. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  1354. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  1355. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  1356. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  1357. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  1358. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  1359. Deprecations:
  1360. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  1361. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  1362. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  1363. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  1364. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  1365. (which is the default).
  1366. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  1367. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  1368. New features:
  1369. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  1370. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  1371. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  1372. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  1373. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  1374. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  1375. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  1376. Bug fixes:
  1377. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  1378. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  1379. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  1380. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  1381. the whole file, fixes #158.
  1382. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  1383. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  1384. Other changes:
  1385. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  1386. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  1387. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  1388. - more tests for archiver
  1389. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  1390. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  1391. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  1392. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  1393. - travis CI: use requirements file
  1394. - improved docs:
  1395. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  1396. - update docs about compression
  1397. - update development docs about fakeroot
  1398. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  1399. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  1400. - theme: use a lighter green
  1401. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  1402. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  1403. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  1404. ---------------------------
  1405. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  1406. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  1407. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  1408. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  1409. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  1410. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  1411. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  1412. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  1413. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  1414. Deprecations:
  1415. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  1416. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  1417. New features:
  1418. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  1419. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  1420. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  1421. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  1422. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  1423. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  1424. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  1425. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  1426. (attic #295).
  1427. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  1428. fixes #85
  1429. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  1430. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  1431. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  1432. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  1433. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  1434. - cache sync: show progress indication
  1435. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  1436. Bug fixes:
  1437. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  1438. signed size_t), #116
  1439. - fix the repair mode, #144
  1440. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  1441. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  1442. (attic #317, attic #201).
  1443. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  1444. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  1445. fixes attic #326.
  1446. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  1447. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  1448. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  1449. Other changes:
  1450. - improved docs:
  1451. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  1452. "as is" into the html docs.
  1453. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  1454. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  1455. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  1456. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  1457. - updated AUTHORS
  1458. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  1459. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  1460. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  1461. - added docs about development
  1462. - add some words about resource usage in general
  1463. - document how to backup a raw disk
  1464. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  1465. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  1466. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  1467. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  1468. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  1469. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  1470. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  1471. - improved tox configuration
  1472. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  1473. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  1474. modern installs
  1475. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  1476. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  1477. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  1478. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  1479. New features:
  1480. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  1481. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  1482. attic #167)
  1483. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  1484. - hashindex: improve error messages
  1485. Other changes:
  1486. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  1487. - some easy micro optimizations
  1488. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  1489. ---------------------------
  1490. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  1491. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  1492. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
  1493. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  1494. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  1495. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  1496. Bug fixes:
  1497. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  1498. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  1499. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  1500. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  1503. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  1504. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  1505. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  1506. always fails
  1507. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  1508. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  1509. New features:
  1510. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  1511. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  1512. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  1513. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  1514. - create -v output more informative
  1515. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  1516. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
