  2. Important notes
  3. ===============
  4. This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
  5. .. _hashindex_set_bug:
  6. Pre-1.1.11 potential index corruption / data loss issue
  7. -------------------------------------------------------
  8. A bug was discovered in our hashtable code, see issue #4829.
  9. The code is used for the client-side chunks cache and the server-side repo index.
  10. Although borg uses the hashtables very heavily, the index corruption did not
  11. happen too frequently, because it needed specific conditions to happen.
  12. Data loss required even more specific conditions, so it should be rare (and
  13. also detectable via borg check).
  14. You might be affected if borg crashed with / complained about:
  15. - AssertionError: Corrupted segment reference count - corrupted index or hints
  16. - ObjectNotFound: Object with key ... not found in repository ...
  17. - Index mismatch for key b'...'. (..., ...) != (-1, -1)
  18. - ValueError: stats_against: key contained in self but not in master_index.
  19. Advised procedure to fix any related issue in your indexes/caches:
  20. - install fixed borg code (on client AND server)
  21. - for all of your clients and repos remove the cache by:
  22. borg delete --cache-only YOURREPO
  23. (later, the cache will be re-built automatically)
  24. - for all your repos, rebuild the repo index by:
  25. borg check --repair YOURREPO
  26. This will also check all archives and detect if there is any data-loss issue.
  27. Affected branches / releases:
  28. - fd06497 introduced the bug into 1.1-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.1.x since 1.1.0b4.
  29. - fd06497 introduced the bug into master branch - it affects all borg 1.2.0 alpha releases.
  30. - c5cd882 introduced the bug into 1.0-maint branch - it affects all borg 1.0.x since 1.0.11rc1.
  31. The bug was fixed by:
  32. - 701159a fixes the bug in 1.1-maint branch - will be released with borg 1.1.11.
  33. - fa63150 fixes the bug in master branch - will be released with borg 1.2.0a8.
  34. - 7bb90b6 fixes the bug in 1.0-maint branch. Branch is EOL, no new release is planned as of now.
  35. .. _broken_validator:
  36. Pre-1.1.4 potential data corruption issue
  37. -----------------------------------------
  38. A data corruption bug was discovered in borg check --repair, see issue #3444.
  39. This is a 1.1.x regression, releases < 1.1 (e.g. 1.0.x) are not affected.
  40. To avoid data loss, you must not run borg check --repair using an unfixed version
  41. of borg 1.1.x. The first official release that has the fix is 1.1.4.
  42. Package maintainers may have applied the fix to updated packages of 1.1.x (x<4)
  43. though, see the package maintainer's package changelog to make sure.
  44. If you never had missing item metadata chunks, the bug has not affected you
  45. even if you did run borg check --repair with an unfixed version.
  46. When borg check --repair tried to repair corrupt archives that miss item metadata
  47. chunks, the resync to valid metadata in still present item metadata chunks
  48. malfunctioned. This was due to a broken validator that considered all (even valid)
  49. item metadata as invalid. As they were considered invalid, borg discarded them.
  50. Practically, that means the affected files, directories or other fs objects were
  51. discarded from the archive.
  52. Due to the malfunction, the process was extremely slow, but if you let it
  53. complete, borg would have created a "repaired" archive that has lost a lot of items.
  54. If you interrupted borg check --repair because it was so strangely slow (killing
  55. borg somehow, e.g. Ctrl-C) the transaction was rolled back and no corruption occurred.
  56. The log message indicating the precondition for the bug triggering looks like:
  57. item metadata chunk missing [chunk: 001056_bdee87d...a3e50d]
  58. If you never had that in your borg check --repair runs, you're not affected.
  59. But if you're unsure or you actually have seen that, better check your archives.
  60. By just using "borg list repo::archive" you can see if all expected filesystem
  61. items are listed.
  62. .. _tam_vuln:
  63. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  64. ----------------------------------------------------------
  65. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  66. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  67. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  68. 2. gain write access to the repository
  69. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  70. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  71. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  72. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  73. for large archives.
  74. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  75. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  76. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  77. Steps you should take:
  78. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  79. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  80. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  81. 4. Done.
  82. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  83. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  84. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  85. be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  86. otherwise.
  87. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  88. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  89. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  90. This attack is mitigated by:
  91. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  92. contain the archive IDs.
  93. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  94. Vulnerability time line:
  95. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  96. * 2016-11-20: First patch

  98. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  99. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  100. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  101. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  102. -----------------------------
  103. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  104. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  105. archives. See issue #1837.
  106. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  107. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  108. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  109. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  110. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  111. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  112. -----------------------------------
  113. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  114. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  115. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  116. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  117. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  118. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  119. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  120. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  121. Fix::
  122. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  123. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  124. # repair the repo:
  125. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  126. # make sure everything is fixed:
  127. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  128. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  129. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  130. Fix::
  131. # check for corrupt archives:
  132. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  133. # delete the corrupt archives:
  134. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  135. # make sure everything is fixed:
  136. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  137. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  138. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  139. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  141. Changelog
  142. =========
  143. Version 1.1.18 (not released yet)
  144. ---------------------------------
  145. Compatibility notes:
  146. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  147. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  148. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  149. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  150. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  151. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  152. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  153. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  154. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  155. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  156. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  157. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  158. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  159. - 1.1.11 removes WSL autodetection (Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux).
  160. If WSL still has a problem with sync_file_range, you need to set
  161. BORG_WORKAROUNDS=basesyncfile in the borg process environment to
  162. work around the WSL issue.
  163. - 1.1.14 changes return codes due to a bug fix:
  164. In case you have scripts expecting rc == 2 for a signal exit, you need to
  165. update them to check for >= 128 (as documented since long).
  166. - 1.1.15 drops python 3.4 support, minimum requirement is 3.5 now.
  167. - 1.1.17 install_requires the "packaging" pypi package now.

  190. This is mainly to keep the repo code in sync with borg 1.2. As borg 1.1
  191. compacts immediately, there was not really an issue with this in 1.1.

  278. New features:
  279. - implement BORG_SELFTEST env variable, #5871.
  280. this can be used to accelerate borg startup a bit. not recommended for
  281. normal usage, but borg mass hosters with a lot of borg invocations can
  282. save some resources with this. on my laptop, this saved ~100ms cpu time
  283. (sys+user) per borg command invocation.
  284. - implement BORG_LIBC env variable to give the libc filename, #5870.
  285. you can use this if a borg does not find your libc.
  286. - check: add progress indicator for archive check.
  287. - allow --files-cache=size (not recommended, make sure you know what you do)
  288. Other changes:

  291. machines, so it should work ok.
  292. - github CI: test on py310 (again)
  293. - get rid of distutils, use packaging and setuptools.
  294. distutils is deprecated and gives warnings on py 3.10.

  317. - use latest Cython 0.29.23 for py310 compat fixes.
  318. - more RAM for openindiana upgrade plan resolver, it just hangs (swaps?) if
  319. there is too little RAM.
  320. - fix install_pyenv to adapt to recent changes in pyenv (same as in master now).
  321. - use generic/netbsd9 box, copied from master branch.
  322. Version 1.1.16 (2021-03-23)
  323. ---------------------------
  324. Fixes:
  325. - setup.py: add special openssl prefix for Apple M1 compatibility

  330. - config: accept non-int value (like 500M or 100G) for max_segment_size or
  331. storage_quota, #5639.
  332. please note: when setting a non-int value for this in a repo config,
  333. using the repo will require borg >= 1.1.16.
  334. New features:
  335. - bundled msgpack: drop support for old buffer protocol to support Python 3.10
  336. - verbose files cache logging via --debug-topic=files_cache, #5659.
  337. Use this if you suspect that borg does not detect unmodified files as expected.
  338. - create/extract: add --noxattrs and --noacls option, #3955.
  339. when given with borg create, borg will not get xattrs / ACLs from input files
  340. (and thus, it will not archive xattrs / ACLs). when given with borg extract,
  341. borg will not read xattrs / ACLs from archive and will not set xattrs / ACLs
  342. on extracted files.
  343. - diff: add --json-lines option, #3765
  344. - check: debug log segment filename
  345. - borg debug dump-hints

  363. This is generally a poor idea and shouldn't be promoted through examples.
  364. - add repology.org badge with current packaging status
  365. - explain hash collision
  366. - add unsafe workaround to use an old repo copy, #5722

  603. - borg command shall terminate with rc 2 for ImportErrors, #4424
  604. - create: only run stat_simple_attrs() once, this increases
  605. backup with lots of unchanged files performance by ~ 5%.

  611. from setup.py install_requires - by default we use the bundled code now.
  612. optionally, we still support using an external msgpack (see hints in
  613. setup.py), but this requires solid requirements management within
  614. distributions and is not recommended.

  795. Fixes:
  796. - create --list: fix that it was never showing M status, #3492

  850. Version 1.1.4 (2017-12-31)
  851. --------------------------
  852. Compatibility notes:
  853. - When upgrading from borg 1.0.x to 1.1.x, please note:
  854. - read all the compatibility notes for 1.1.0*, starting from 1.1.0b1.
  855. - borg upgrade: you do not need to and you also should not run it.
  856. - borg might ask some security-related questions once after upgrading.
  857. You can answer them either manually or via environment variable.
  858. One known case is if you use unencrypted repositories, then it will ask
  859. about a unknown unencrypted repository one time.
  860. - your first backup with 1.1.x might be significantly slower (it might
  861. completely read, chunk, hash a lot files) - this is due to the
  862. --files-cache mode change (and happens every time you change mode).
  863. You can avoid the one-time slowdown by using the pre-1.1.0rc4-compatible
  864. mode (but that is less safe for detecting changed files than the default).
  865. See the --files-cache docs for details.
  866. - borg 1.1.4 changes:
  867. - zstd compression is new in borg 1.1.4, older borg can't handle it.
  868. - new minimum requirements for the compression libraries - if the required
  869. versions (header and lib) can't be found at build time, bundled code will
  870. be used:
  871. - added requirement: libzstd >= 1.3.0 (bundled: 1.3.2)
  872. - updated requirement: liblz4 >= 1.7.0 / r129 (bundled: 1.8.0)
  873. Fixes:
  874. - check: data corruption fix: fix for borg check --repair malfunction, #3444.
  875. See the more detailed notes close to the top of this document.
  876. - delete: also delete security dir when deleting a repo, #3427
  877. - prune: fix building the "borg prune" man page, #3398
  878. - init: use given --storage-quota for local repo, #3470
  879. - init: properly quote repo path in output
  880. - fix startup delay with dns-only own fqdn resolving, #3471
  881. New features:

  896. - add zstd to compression help, readme, docs
  897. - update requirements and install docs about bundled lz4 and zstd
  898. - refactored build of the compress and crypto.low_level extensions, #3415:
  899. - move some lib/build related code to setup_{zstd,lz4,b2}.py
  900. - bundle lz4 1.8.0 (requirement: >= 1.7.0 / r129)
  901. - bundle zstd 1.3.2 (requirement: >= 1.3.0)
  902. - blake2 was already bundled
  903. - rename BORG_LZ4_PREFIX env var to BORG_LIBLZ4_PREFIX for better consistency:
  904. we also have BORG_LIBB2_PREFIX and BORG_LIBZSTD_PREFIX now.
  905. - add prefer_system_lib* = True settings to setup.py - by default the build
  906. will prefer a shared library over the bundled code, if library and headers
  907. can be found and meet the minimum requirements.
  908. Version 1.1.3 (2017-11-27)
  909. --------------------------
  910. Fixes:
  911. - Security Fix for CVE-2017-15914: Incorrect implementation of access controls
  912. allows remote users to override repository restrictions in Borg servers.
  913. A user able to access a remote Borg SSH server is able to circumvent access
  914. controls post-authentication.
  915. Affected releases: 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2. Releases 1.0.x are NOT affected.
  916. - crc32: deal with unaligned buffer, add tests - this broke borg on older ARM
  917. CPUs that can not deal with unaligned 32bit memory accesses and raise a bus
  918. error in such cases. the fix might also improve performance on some CPUs as
  919. all 32bit memory accesses by the crc32 code are properly aligned now. #3317
  920. - mount: fixed support of --consider-part-files and do not show .borg_part_N
  921. files by default in the mounted FUSE filesystem. #3347
  922. - fixed cache/repo timestamp inconsistency message, highlight that information
  923. is obtained from security dir (deleting the cache will not bypass this error
  924. in case the user knows this is a legitimate repo).
  925. - borgfs: don't show sub-command in borgfs help, #3287
  926. - create: show an error when --dry-run and --stats are used together, #3298
  927. New features:
  928. - mount: added exclusion group options and paths, #2138
  929. Reused some code to support similar options/paths as borg extract offers -
  930. making good use of these to only mount a smaller subset of dirs/files can
  931. speed up mounting a lot and also will consume way less memory.
  932. borg mount [options] repo_or_archive mountpoint path [paths...]
  933. paths: you can just give some "root paths" (like for borg extract) to
  934. only partially populate the FUSE filesystem.
  935. new options: --exclude[-from], --pattern[s-from], --strip-components
  936. - create/extract: support st_birthtime on platforms supporting it, #3272
  937. - add "borg config" command for querying/setting/deleting config values, #3304
  938. Other changes:
  939. - clean up and simplify packaging (only package committed files, do not install
  940. .c/.h/.pyx files)
  941. - docs:
  942. - point out tuning options for borg create, #3239
  943. - add instructions for using ntfsclone, zerofree, #81
  944. - move image backup-related FAQ entries to a new page
  945. - clarify key aliases for borg list --format, #3111
  946. - mention break-lock in checkpointing FAQ entry, #3328
  947. - document sshfs rename workaround, #3315
  948. - add FAQ about removing files from existing archives
  949. - add FAQ about different prune policies
  950. - usage and man page for borgfs, #3216
  951. - clarify create --stats duration vs. wall time, #3301
  952. - clarify encrypted key format for borg key export, #3296
  953. - update release checklist about security fixes
  954. - document good and problematic option placements, fix examples, #3356
  955. - add note about using --nobsdflags to avoid speed penalty related to
  956. bsdflags, #3239
  957. - move most of support section to www.borgbackup.org
  958. Version 1.1.2 (2017-11-05)
  959. --------------------------
  960. Fixes:
  961. - fix KeyError crash when talking to borg server < 1.0.7, #3244
  962. - extract: set bsdflags last (include immutable flag), #3263
  963. - create: don't do stat() call on excluded-norecurse directory, fix exception
  964. handling for stat() call, #3209
  965. - create --stats: do not count data volume twice when checkpointing, #3224
  966. - recreate: move chunks_healthy when excluding hardlink master, #3228
  967. - recreate: get rid of chunks_healthy when rechunking (does not match), #3218
  968. - check: get rid of already existing not matching chunks_healthy metadata, #3218
  969. - list: fix stdout broken pipe handling, #3245
  970. - list/diff: remove tag-file options (not used), #3226
  971. New features:
  972. - bash, zsh and fish shell auto-completions, see scripts/shell_completions/
  973. - added BORG_CONFIG_DIR env var, #3083
  974. Other changes:
  975. - docs:
  976. - clarify using a blank passphrase in keyfile mode
  977. - mention "!" (exclude-norecurse) type in "patterns" help
  978. - document to first heal before running borg recreate to re-chunk stuff,
  979. because that will have to get rid of chunks_healthy metadata.
  980. - more than 23 is not supported for CHUNK_MAX_EXP, #3115
  981. - borg does not respect nodump flag by default any more
  982. - clarify same-filesystem requirement for borg upgrade, #2083
  983. - update / rephrase cygwin / WSL status, #3174
  984. - improve docs about --stats, #3260
  985. - vagrant: openindiana new clang package
  986. Already contained in 1.1.1 (last minute fix):
  987. - arg parsing: fix fallback function, refactor, #3205. This is a fixup
  988. for #3155, which was broken on at least python <= 3.4.2.
  989. Version 1.1.1 (2017-10-22)
  990. --------------------------
  991. Compatibility notes:
  992. - The deprecated --no-files-cache is not a global/common option any more,
  993. but only available for borg create (it is not needed for anything else).
  994. Use --files-cache=disabled instead of --no-files-cache.
  995. - The nodump flag ("do not backup this file") is not honoured any more by
  996. default because this functionality (esp. if it happened by error or
  997. unexpected) was rather confusing and unexplainable at first to users.
  998. If you want that "do not backup NODUMP-flagged files" behaviour, use:
  999. borg create --exclude-nodump ...
  1000. - If you are on Linux and do not need bsdflags archived, consider using
  1001. ``--nobsdflags`` with ``borg create`` to avoid additional syscalls and
  1002. speed up backup creation.
  1003. Fixes:
  1004. - borg recreate: correctly compute part file sizes. fixes cosmetic, but
  1005. annoying issue as borg check complains about size inconsistencies of part
  1006. files in affected archives. you can solve that by running borg recreate on
  1007. these archives, see also #3157.
  1008. - bsdflags support: do not open BLK/CHR/LNK files, avoid crashes and
  1009. slowness, #3130
  1010. - recreate: don't crash on attic archives w/o time_end, #3109
  1011. - don't crash on repository filesystems w/o hardlink support, #3107
  1012. - don't crash in first part of truncate_and_unlink, #3117
  1013. - fix server-side IndexError crash with clients < 1.0.7, #3192
  1014. - don't show traceback if only a global option is given, show help, #3142
  1015. - cache: use SaveFile for more safety, #3158
  1016. - init: fix wrong encryption choices in command line parser, fix missing
  1017. "authenticated-blake2", #3103
  1018. - move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, #3146
  1019. - fix detection of non-local path (failed on ..filename), #3108
  1020. - logging with fileConfig: set json attr on "borg" logger, #3114
  1021. - fix crash with relative BORG_KEY_FILE, #3197
  1022. - show excluded dir with "x" for tagged dirs / caches, #3189
  1023. New features:
  1024. - create: --nobsdflags and --exclude-nodump options, #3160
  1025. - extract: --nobsdflags option, #3160
  1026. Other changes:
  1027. - remove annoying hardlinked symlinks warning, #3175
  1028. - vagrant: use self-made FreeBSD 10.3 box, #3022
  1029. - travis: don't brew update, hopefully fixes #2532
  1030. - docs:
  1031. - readme: -e option is required in borg 1.1
  1032. - add example showing --show-version --show-rc
  1033. - use --format rather than --list-format (deprecated) in example
  1034. - update docs about hardlinked symlinks limitation
  1035. Version 1.1.0 (2017-10-07)
  1036. --------------------------
  1037. Compatibility notes:
  1038. - borg command line: do not put options in between positional arguments
  1039. This sometimes works (e.g. it worked in borg 1.0.x), but can easily stop
  1040. working if we make positional arguments optional (like it happened for
  1041. borg create's "paths" argument in 1.1). There are also places in borg 1.0
  1042. where we do that, so it doesn't work there in general either. #3356
  1043. Good: borg create -v --stats repo::archive path
  1044. Good: borg create repo::archive path -v --stats
  1045. Bad: borg create repo::archive -v --stats path
  1046. Fixes:
  1047. - fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH restoration for subprocesses, #3077
  1048. - "auto" compression: make sure expensive compression is actually better,
  1049. otherwise store lz4 compressed data we already computed.
  1050. Other changes:
  1051. - docs:
  1052. - FAQ: we do not implement futile attempts of ETA / progress displays
  1053. - manpage: fix typos, update homepage
  1054. - implement simple "issue" role for manpage generation, #3075
  1055. Version 1.1.0rc4 (2017-10-01)
  1056. -----------------------------
  1057. Compatibility notes:
  1058. - A borg server >= 1.1.0rc4 does not support borg clients 1.1.0b3-b5. #3033
  1059. - The files cache is now controlled differently and has a new default mode:
  1060. - the files cache now uses ctime by default for improved file change
  1061. detection safety. You can still use mtime for more speed and less safety.
  1062. - --ignore-inode is deprecated (use --files-cache=... without "inode")
  1063. - --no-files-cache is deprecated (use --files-cache=disabled)
  1064. New features:
  1065. - --files-cache - implement files cache mode control, #911
  1066. You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
  1067. --files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}
  1068. (only some combinations are supported). See the docs for details.
  1069. Fixes:
  1070. - remote progress/logging: deal with partial lines, #2637
  1071. - remote progress: flush json mode output
  1072. - fix subprocess environments, #3050 (and more)
  1073. Other changes:
  1074. - remove client_supports_log_v3 flag, #3033

  1078. - use Python 3.5.4 to build the binaries
  1079. - docs:
  1080. - security: change-passphrase only changes the passphrase, #2990
  1081. - fixed/improved borg create --compression examples, #3034
  1082. - add note about metadata dedup and --no[ac]time, #2518
  1083. - twitter account @borgbackup now, better visible, #2948
  1084. - simplified rate limiting wrapper in FAQ
  1085. Version 1.1.0rc3 (2017-09-10)
  1086. -----------------------------
  1087. New features:
  1088. - delete: support naming multiple archives, #2958

  1090. - repo cleanup/write: invalidate cached FDs, #2982
  1091. - fix datetime.isoformat() microseconds issues, #2994
  1092. - recover_segment: use mmap(), lower memory needs, #2987
  1093. Other changes:
  1094. - with-lock: close segment file before invoking subprocess

  1102. - add debug logging for repository cleanup
  1103. Version 1.1.0rc2 (2017-08-28)
  1104. -----------------------------
  1105. Compatibility notes:
  1106. - list: corrected mix-up of "isomtime" and "mtime" formats. Previously,
  1107. "isomtime" was the default but produced a verbose human format,
  1108. while "mtime" produced a ISO-8601-like format.
  1109. The behaviours have been swapped (so "mtime" is human, "isomtime" is ISO-like),
  1110. and the default is now "mtime".
  1111. "isomtime" is now a real ISO-8601 format ("T" between date and time, not a space).
  1112. New features:
  1113. - None.
  1114. Fixes:
  1115. - list: fix weird mixup of mtime/isomtime
  1116. - create --timestamp: set start time, #2957
  1117. - ignore corrupt files cache, #2939
  1118. - migrate locks to child PID when daemonize is used

  1120. - only compare contents when chunker params match, #2899
  1121. - umount: try fusermount, then try umount, #2863
  1122. Other changes:
  1123. - JSON: use a more standard ISO 8601 datetime format, #2376
  1124. - cache: write_archive_index: truncate_and_unlink on error, #2628
  1125. - detect non-upgraded Attic repositories, #1933
  1126. - delete various nogil and threading related lines

  1129. - renew asciinema/screencasts, #669
  1130. - create: document exclusion through nodump, #2949
  1131. - minor formatting fixes
  1132. - tar: tarpipe example
  1133. - improve "with-lock" and "info" docs, #2869
  1134. - detail how to use macOS/GNOME/KDE keyrings for repo passwords, #392
  1135. - travis: only short-circuit docs-only changes for pull requests
  1136. - vagrant:
  1137. - netbsd: bash is already installed
  1138. - fix netbsd version in PKG_PATH

  1153. - include testsuite data (attic.tar.gz) when installing the package
  1154. - use limited unpacker for outer key, for manifest (both security precautions),
  1155. #2174 #2175
  1156. - fix bashism in shell scripts, #2820, #2816
  1157. - cleanup endianness detection, create _endian.h,
  1158. fixes build on alpine linux, #2809
  1159. - fix crash with --no-cache-sync (give known chunk size to chunk_incref), #2853

  1196. Version 1.1.0b6 (2017-06-18)
  1197. ----------------------------
  1198. Compatibility notes:
  1199. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  1200. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  1201. an append-only repository.
  1202. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  1203. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  1204. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  1205. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  1206. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  1207. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  1208. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  1209. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  1210. not affect scripts.
  1211. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  1212. repositories they are.
  1213. - The client-side temporary repository cache now holds unencrypted data for better speed.
  1214. - borg init: removed the short form of --append-only (-a).
  1215. - borg upgrade: removed the short form of --inplace (-i).
  1216. New features:
  1217. - reimplemented the RepositoryCache, size-limited caching of decrypted repo
  1218. contents, integrity checked via xxh64. #2515
  1219. - reduced space usage of chunks.archive.d. Existing caches are migrated during
  1220. a cache sync. #235 #2638
  1221. - integrity checking using xxh64 for important files used by borg, #1101:
  1222. - repository: index and hints files
  1223. - cache: chunks and files caches, chunks.archive.d
  1224. - improve cache sync speed, #1729
  1225. - create: new --no-cache-sync option
  1226. - add repository mandatory feature flags infrastructure, #1806
  1227. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  1228. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  1229. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  1230. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589
  1231. - BORG_PASSCOMMAND: use external tool providing the key passphrase, #2573
  1232. - borg export-tar, #2519
  1233. - list: --json-lines instead of --json for archive contents, #2439
  1234. - add --debug-profile option (and also "borg debug convert-profile"), #2473
  1235. - implement --glob-archives/-a, #2448
  1236. - normalize authenticated key modes for better naming consistency:
  1237. - rename "authenticated" to "authenticated-blake2" (uses blake2b)
  1238. - implement "authenticated" mode (uses hmac-sha256)
  1239. Fixes:
  1240. - hashindex: read/write indices >2 GiB on 32bit systems, better error
  1241. reporting, #2496
  1242. - repository URLs: implement IPv6 address support and also more informative
  1243. error message when parsing fails.
  1244. - mount: check whether llfuse is installed before asking for passphrase, #2540
  1245. - mount: do pre-mount checks before opening repository, #2541
  1246. - FUSE:
  1247. - fix crash if empty (None) xattr is read, #2534
  1248. - fix read(2) caching data in metadata cache
  1249. - fix negative uid/gid crash (fix crash when mounting archives
  1250. of external drives made on cygwin), #2674
  1251. - redo ItemCache, on top of object cache
  1252. - use decrypted cache
  1253. - remove unnecessary normpaths

  1264. - fix --progress and logging in general for remote
  1265. - fix parse_version, add tests, #2556
  1266. - repository: truncate segments (and also some other files) before unlinking, #2557
  1267. - recreate: keep timestamps as in original archive, #2384
  1268. - recreate: if single archive is not processed, exit 2
  1269. - patterns: don't recurse with ! / --exclude for pf:, #2509
  1270. - cache sync: fix n^2 behaviour in lookup_name
  1271. - extract: don't write to disk with --stdout (affected non-regular-file items), #2645
  1272. - hashindex: implement KeyError, more tests
  1273. Other changes:
  1274. - remote: show path in PathNotAllowed
  1275. - consider repokey w/o passphrase == unencrypted, #2169
  1276. - consider authenticated mode == unencrypted, #2503
  1277. - restrict key file names, #2560

  1279. with follow_symlinks=False, #2507
  1280. - support common options on the main command, #2508

  1696. --------------------------
  1697. Security fixes:
  1698. - A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  1699. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should

  1701. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1702. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  1703. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  1704. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  1705. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  1706. Bug fixes:

  1741. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  1742. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  1743. umount) to un-mount, #1855.

  1773. Version 1.1.0b2 (2016-10-01)
  1774. ----------------------------
  1775. Bug fixes:
  1776. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  1777. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  1794. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  1795. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  1796. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch

  1802. - new commands:
  1803. - borg recreate: re-create existing archives, #787 #686 #630 #70, also see
  1804. #757, #770.
  1805. - selectively remove files/dirs from old archives
  1806. - re-compress data

  1816. - increased default checkpoint interval to 30 minutes (was 5 minutes), #896
  1817. - added uuid archive format tag, #1151
  1818. - save mountpoint directories with --one-file-system, makes system restore easier, #1033
  1819. - Linux: added support for some BSD flags, #1050
  1820. - add 'x' status for excluded paths, #814
  1821. - also means files excluded via UF_NODUMP, #1080
  1822. - borg check:
  1823. - will not produce the "Checking segments" output unless new --progress option is passed, #824.
  1824. - --verify-data to verify data cryptographically on the client, #975
  1825. - borg list, #751, #1179
  1826. - removed {formatkeys}, see "borg list --help"
  1827. - --list-format is deprecated, use --format instead
  1828. - --format now also applies to listing archives, not only archive contents, #1179
  1829. - now supports the usual [PATH [PATHS…]] syntax and excludes
  1830. - new keys: csize, num_chunks, unique_chunks, NUL
  1831. - supports guaranteed_available hashlib hashes
  1832. (to avoid varying functionality depending on environment),
  1833. which includes the SHA1 and SHA2 family as well as MD5

  1835. - to better visualize the "thinning out", we now list all archives in
  1836. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  1837. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.

  1849. a merged, versioned view of the files in all archives, #729
  1850. - repository:
  1851. - added progress information to commit/compaction phase (often takes some time when deleting/pruning), #1519
  1852. - automatic recovery for some forms of repository inconsistency, #858
  1853. - check free space before going forward with a commit, #1336

  1908. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  1909. New features:
  1910. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  1911. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  1912. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  1913. Other changes:
  1914. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  1915. due to the changed canonicalization for relative paths in PR #1711 / #1655
  1916. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  1917. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  1918. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  1919. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  1920. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.

  1931. - skip FUSE test for borg binary + fakeroot
  1932. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  1933. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  1934. -----------------------------
  1935. Bug fixes:
  1936. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  1937. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  1938. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  1939. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  1940. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  1941. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  1942. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  1943. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  1944. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  1945. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  1946. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  1947. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before repository
  1948. was opened. Add an error message for this.
  1949. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  1950. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1951. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  1952. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  1953. - enable relative paths in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  1954. - allow repo paths with colons, #1705
  1955. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  1956. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  1957. #1684
  1958. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  1959. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  1960. New features:
  1961. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  1962. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  1963. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  1964. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  1965. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  1966. soon as it is input.
  1967. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  1968. #1352
  1969. Other changes:
  1970. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  1971. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  1972. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  1973. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  1974. dataflow direction.
  1975. - improved messages / error reporting:
  1976. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  1977. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  1978. #1572
  1979. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  1980. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  1981. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  1982. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  1983. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  1984. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and

  2005. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  2006. - travis: test FUSE-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  2007. - re-enable FUSE tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  2008. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  2009. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  2010. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  2011. --------------------------
  2012. Security fixes:
  2013. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  2014. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  2015. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  2016. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  2017. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  2018. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  2019. the paths you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  2020. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  2021. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  2022. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  2023. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  2024. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  2025. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  2026. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path paths now. We are sorry if
  2027. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  2028. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  2029. Bug fixes:
  2030. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  2031. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  2032. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  2033. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  2034. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  2035. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  2036. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  2037. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  2038. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  2039. New features:
  2040. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  2041. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  2042. Other changes:
  2043. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  2044. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  2045. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  2046. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  2047. -----------------------------
  2048. Bug fixes:
  2049. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  2050. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  2051. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  2052. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  2053. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  2054. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  2055. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  2056. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  2057. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  2058. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  2059. these would never be cleaned up.
  2060. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  2061. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  2062. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  2063. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  2064. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  2065. path being a integer FD
  2066. Other changes:
  2067. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  2068. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  2069. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  2070. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  2071. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  2072. real problem.
  2073. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  2074. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  2075. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  2076. - docs:
  2077. - document archive limitation, #1452
  2078. - improve prune examples
  2079. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  2080. -----------------------------
  2081. Bug fixes:
  2082. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  2083. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  2084. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  2085. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unnecessary re-reading/chunking/
  2086. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  2087. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  2088. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  2089. to 20, #1338
  2090. - FUSE:
  2091. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  2092. - always create a root dir, #1125
  2093. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  2094. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  2095. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  2096. New features:
  2097. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  2098. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  2099. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  2100. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  2101. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  2102. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  2103. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  2104. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  2105. server), #1291.
  2106. Other changes:
  2107. - Vagrantfile:
  2108. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  2109. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  2110. - tests:
  2111. - fix FUSE tests on OS X, #1433
  2112. - docs:
  2113. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  2114. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  2115. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  2116. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  2117. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  2118. - added platform feature matrix
  2119. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  2120. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  2121. --------------------------
  2122. Bug fixes:
  2123. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  2124. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  2125. Other changes:
  2126. - tests:
  2127. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  2128. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  2129. - docs:
  2130. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  2131. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  2132. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  2133. -----------------------------
  2134. New features:
  2135. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  2136. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  2137. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  2138. Bug fixes:
  2139. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  2140. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  2141. repository code.
  2142. - borg mount (FUSE):
  2143. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  2144. #1295
  2145. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  2146. used), #1302. (*)
  2147. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  2148. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  2149. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  2150. Other changes:
  2151. - tests:
  2152. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  2153. - deduplicate FUSE (u)mount code
  2154. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  2155. - docs:
  2156. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  2157. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  2158. Notes:
  2159. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  2160. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  2161. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  2162. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  2163. repair was done with an older borg version.
  2164. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  2165. --------------------------
  2166. Bug fixes:
  2167. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  2168. Other changes:
  2169. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  2170. - add release helper scripts
  2171. - Vagrantfile:
  2172. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  2173. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  2174. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  2175. --------------------------
  2176. New features:
  2177. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  2178. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  2179. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  2180. practically usable.
  2181. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  2182. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  2183. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  2184. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  2185. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  2186. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  2187. Bug fixes:
  2188. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  2189. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  2190. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  2191. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  2192. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  2193. transaction rollback to clean up).
  2194. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  2195. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  2196. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  2197. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  2198. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  2199. error reporting.
  2200. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  2201. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  2202. sync the containing directory.
  2203. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  2204. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  2205. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  2206. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  2207. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  2208. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  2209. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  2210. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  2211. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  2212. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  2213. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  2214. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  2215. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  2216. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  2217. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  2218. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  2219. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  2220. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  2221. - borg delete:
  2222. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  2223. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  2224. - borg check:
  2225. - make borg check work for empty repo
  2226. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  2227. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  2228. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  2229. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  2230. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  2231. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  2232. - tests:
  2233. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  2234. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  2235. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  2236. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  2237. Other changes:
  2238. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  2239. - docs / help:
  2240. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  2241. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  2242. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  2243. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  2244. - document sshd settings, #545
  2245. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  2246. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  2247. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  2248. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  2249. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  2250. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  2251. - update cygwin installation docs
  2252. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  2253. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  2254. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  2255. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  2256. - tests: add tests for format_line
  2257. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  2258. - Vagrantfile:
  2259. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  2260. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  2261. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  2262. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  2263. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  2264. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  2265. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  2266. --------------------------
  2267. Bug fixes:
  2268. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  2269. a prune run), #997
  2270. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  2271. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  2272. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  2273. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  2274. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  2275. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  2276. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  2277. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  2278. space), #1063
  2279. Other changes:
  2280. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  2281. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  2282. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  2283. - docs / help:
  2284. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  2285. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  2286. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  2287. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  2288. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  2289. --------------------------
  2290. Bug fixes:
  2291. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  2292. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  2293. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  2294. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  2295. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  2296. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  2297. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  2298. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  2299. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  2300. a overflow would have occurred.
  2301. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  2302. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  2303. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  2304. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  2305. - workaround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  2306. Other changes:
  2307. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  2308. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  2309. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  2310. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  2311. - docs:
  2312. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  2313. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  2314. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  2315. --------------------------
  2316. New features:
  2317. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  2318. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  2319. also:
  2320. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  2321. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  2322. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  2323. possibly CIFS).
  2324. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  2325. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  2326. this on his own.
  2327. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  2328. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  2329. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  2330. Bug fixes:
  2331. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  2332. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  2333. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  2334. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  2335. - fix build on illumos
  2336. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivatives)
  2337. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  2338. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  2339. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  2340. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  2341. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  2342. instead, #791
  2343. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  2344. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  2345. #798
  2346. Other changes:
  2347. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  2348. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  2349. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  2350. - docs:
  2351. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  2352. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  2353. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  2354. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  2355. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  2356. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  2357. --------------------------
  2358. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  2359. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  2360. check your backup logs.
  2361. Compatibility notes:
  2362. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  2363. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  2364. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  2365. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  2366. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  2367. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  2368. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  2369. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  2370. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  2371. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  2372. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  2373. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  2374. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  2375. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  2376. use --one-file-system instead
  2377. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  2378. - -p now is same as --progress
  2379. - -P now is same as --prefix
  2380. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  2381. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  2382. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  2383. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  2384. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  2385. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  2386. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  2387. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  2388. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  2389. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  2390. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  2391. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  2392. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  2393. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  2394. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  2395. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  2396. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  2397. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  2398. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  2399. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  2400. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  2401. usage).
  2402. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  2403. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  2404. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  2405. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  2406. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  2407. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  2408. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  2409. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  2410. needs to mean archive creation start time.

  2436. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  2437. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  2438. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  2439. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.

  2497. Compatibility notes:
  2498. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  2499. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  2500. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  2501. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  2502. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  2503. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  2504. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)

  2519. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  2520. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  2521. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  2522. - support different styles for patterns:
  2523. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  2524. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  2525. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  2526. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  2527. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29

  2536. Other changes:
  2537. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  2538. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  2539. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  2540. fixes #569
  2541. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  2542. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  2543. than debian7
  2544. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  2545. - docs:

  2560. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  2561. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  2562. ---------------------------
  2563. Compatibility notes:
  2564. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  2565. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  2566. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  2567. option.
  2568. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  2569. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  2570. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  2571. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  2572. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  2573. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  2574. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  2575. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  2576. Bug fixes:
  2577. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  2578. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)

  2587. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  2588. - include system info below traceback, #324
  2589. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  2590. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  2591. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  2592. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  2593. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  2594. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  2595. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  2596. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  2597. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  2598. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  2599. - more progress indicators, #394
  2600. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  2601. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  2820. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  2821. ---------------------------
  2822. Compatibility notes:
  2823. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  2824. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  2825. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  2826. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  2827. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  2828. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  2829. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  2830. Deprecations:
  2831. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  2832. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  2833. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  2834. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  2835. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  2836. (which is the default).
  2837. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  2838. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  2839. New features:
  2840. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  2841. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  2842. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  2843. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  2844. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  2845. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  2846. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  2847. Bug fixes:
  2848. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  2849. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  2850. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  2851. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  2852. the whole file, fixes #158.
  2853. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  2854. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  2855. Other changes:
  2856. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  2857. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  2858. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  2859. - more tests for archiver
  2860. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  2861. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  2862. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  2863. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  2864. - travis CI: use requirements file
  2865. - improved docs:
  2866. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  2867. - update docs about compression
  2868. - update development docs about fakeroot
  2869. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  2870. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  2871. - theme: use a lighter green
  2872. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  2873. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  2874. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  2875. ---------------------------
  2876. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  2877. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  2878. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  2879. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  2880. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  2881. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  2882. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  2883. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  2884. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  2885. Deprecations:
  2886. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  2887. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  2888. New features:
  2889. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  2890. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  2891. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  2892. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  2893. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  2894. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  2895. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  2896. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  2897. (attic #295).
  2898. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  2899. fixes #85
  2900. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  2901. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  2902. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  2903. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  2904. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  2905. - cache sync: show progress indication
  2906. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  2907. Bug fixes:
  2908. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  2909. signed size_t), #116
  2910. - fix the repair mode, #144
  2911. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  2912. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  2913. (attic #317, attic #201).
  2914. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  2915. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  2916. fixes attic #326.
  2917. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  2918. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  2919. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  2920. Other changes:
  2921. - improved docs:
  2922. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  2923. "as is" into the html docs.
  2924. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  2925. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  2926. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  2927. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  2928. - updated AUTHORS
  2929. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  2930. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  2931. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  2932. - added docs about development
  2933. - add some words about resource usage in general
  2934. - document how to backup a raw disk
  2935. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  2936. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  2937. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  2938. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  2939. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  2940. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  2941. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  2942. - improved tox configuration
  2943. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  2944. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  2945. modern installs
  2946. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  2947. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  2948. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  2949. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  2950. New features:
  2951. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  2952. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  2953. attic #167)
  2954. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  2955. - hashindex: improve error messages
  2956. Other changes:
  2957. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  2958. - some easy micro optimizations
  2959. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  2960. ---------------------------
  2961. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  2962. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  2963. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have fewer collisions
  2964. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  2965. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  2966. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  2967. Bug fixes:
  2968. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  2969. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  2970. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  2971. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183

  2975. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  2976. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  2977. always fails
  2978. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  2979. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257

  2982. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  2983. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  2984. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  2985. - create -v output more informative
  2986. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  2987. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
