  6. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  7. ----------------------------------------------------------
  8. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  9. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  10. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  11. 2. gain write access to the repository
  12. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  13. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  14. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  15. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  16. for large archives.
  17. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  18. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  19. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  20. Steps you should take:
  21. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  22. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  23. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  24. 4. Done.
  25. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  26. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  27. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  28. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  29. otherwise.
  30. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  31. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  32. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  33. This attack is mitigated by:
  34. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  35. contain the archive IDs.
  36. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  37. Vulnerability time line:
  38. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)
  39. * 2016-11-20: First patch
  40. * 2016-12-20: Released fixed version 1.0.9
  41. * 2017-01-02: CVE was assigned
  42. * 2017-01-15: Released fixed version 1.1.0b3 (fix was previously only available from source)
  43. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  44. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  45. -----------------------------
  46. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  47. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  48. archives. See issue #1837.
  49. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  50. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  51. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  52. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  53. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  54. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  55. -----------------------------------
  56. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  57. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  58. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  59. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  60. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  61. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  62. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  63. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  64. Fix::
  65. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  66. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  67. # repair the repo:
  68. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  69. # make sure everything is fixed:
  70. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  71. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  72. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  73. Fix::
  74. # check for corrupt archives:
  75. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  76. # delete the corrupt archives:
  77. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  78. # make sure everything is fixed:
  79. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  80. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  81. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  82. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  86. Version 1.1.0b6 (unreleased)
  87. ----------------------------
  88. Compatibility notes:
  89. - Running "borg init" via a "borg serve --append-only" server will *not* create
  90. an append-only repository anymore. Use "borg init --append-only" to initialize
  91. an append-only repository.
  92. - Repositories in the "repokey" and "repokey-blake2" modes with an empty passphrase
  93. are now treated as unencrypted repositories for security checks (e.g.
  94. BORG_UNKNOWN_UNENCRYPTED_REPO_ACCESS_IS_OK).
  95. Previously there would be no prompts nor messages if an unknown repository
  96. in one of these modes with an empty passphrase was encountered. This would
  97. allow an attacker to swap a repository, if one assumed that the lack of
  98. password prompts was due to a set BORG_PASSPHRASE.
  99. Since the "trick" does not work if BORG_PASSPHRASE is set, this does generally
  100. not affect scripts.
  101. - Repositories in the "authenticated" mode are now treated as the unencrypted
  102. repositories they are.
  103. New features:
  104. - integrity checking for important files used by borg:
  105. - repository: index and hints files
  106. - cache: chunks and files caches, archive.chunks.d
  107. - Verify most operations against SecurityManager. Location, manifest timestamp
  108. and key types are now checked for almost all non-debug commands. #2487
  109. - implement storage quotas, #2517
  110. - serve: add --restrict-to-repository, #2589

  251. filesystem object type (file, folder, etc), instead of expecting only files
  252. as tags, #1999
  253. - the --keep-tag-files option has been deprecated in favor of the new
  254. --keep-exclude-tags, to account for the change mentioned above.

  373. Version 1.0.10 (2017-02-13)
  374. ---------------------------
  375. Bug fixes:
  376. - Manifest timestamps are now monotonically increasing,
  377. this fixes issues when the system clock jumps backwards

  383. a human-readable "paperkey" representation (and custom text) through the
  384. ``--qr-html`` option.
  385. The same functionality is also available through `paperkey.html <paperkey.html>`_,
  386. which is the same HTML page generated by ``--qr-html``. It works with existing
  387. "key export" files and key files.
  388. Other changes:

  390. - language clarification - "borg create --one-file-system" option does not respect
  391. mount points, but considers different file systems instead, #2141
  392. - setup.py: build_api: sort file list for determinism
  393. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  394. ----------------------------
  395. Compatibility notes:
  396. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979

  408. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  409. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  410. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  411. repository are deleted. #562 #1253

  416. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  417. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  418. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  419. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  420. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  421. Other changes:
  422. - borg recreate:
  423. - remove special-cased --dry-run

  427. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  428. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940

  430. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  431. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  432. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627

  445. - document repo URLs / archive location
  446. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  447. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  448. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  449. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  450. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  451. - tests:
  452. - fuse tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  453. - fuse tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  454. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  455. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  456. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  457. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  462. This affects only the cygwin platform (not Linux, BSD, OS X).
  463. - Avoid triggering an ObjectiveFS bug in xattr retrieval, #1992
  464. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  465. current file, #1993
  466. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  467. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,
  468. it now does nothing and prints an error, #1981.
  469. - Fixed change-passphrase crashing with unencrypted repositories, #1978
  470. - Fixed "borg check repo::archive" indicating success if "archive" does not exist, #1997

  483. - Also print a traceback on SIGUSR2.
  484. - borg change-passphrase: print key location (simplify making a backup of it)

  519. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  520. take.
  521. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  522. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  523. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  524. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  525. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  526. Bug fixes:
  527. - borg check:

  548. -----------------------------
  549. Bug fixes:
  550. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is
  551. used in cache cleanup and led to wrong "A" [added] status for unchanged
  552. files in next backup), #1860.
  553. - borg check:
  554. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt
  555. - handle repo w/o objects gracefully and also bail out early if repo is
  556. *completely* empty, #1815.
  557. - fix tox/pybuild in 1.0-maint
  558. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  559. New features:
  560. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  561. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  562. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  563. umount) to un-mount, #1855.
  564. - implement borg create --noatime --noctime, fixes #1853
  565. Other changes:

  590. - fix fuse test for darwin, #1546
  591. - add windows virtual machine with cygwin
  592. - Vagrantfile cleanup / code deduplication
  593. Version 1.1.0b2 (2016-10-01)
  594. ----------------------------
  595. Bug fixes:
  596. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"
  597. on borg check, #1598. This only occurred with 1.1.0b1 (not with 1.0.x) and is

  606. - borg help compression, #1582
  607. - borg check: delete chunks with integrity errors, #1575, so they can be
  608. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  609. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  610. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  611. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  612. Other changes:
  613. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())

  615. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  616. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch
  617. - fix module names in api.rst

  725. Version 1.0.8 (2016-10-29)
  726. --------------------------
  727. Bug fixes:
  728. - RemoteRepository: Fix busy wait in call_many, #940
  729. New features:
  730. - implement borgmajor/borgminor/borgpatch placeholders, #1694
  731. {borgversion} was already there (full version string). With the new
  732. placeholders you can now also get e.g. 1 or 1.0 or 1.0.8.
  733. Other changes:
  734. - avoid previous_location mismatch, #1741
  735. due to the changed canonicalization for relative pathes in PR #1711 / #1655
  736. (implement /./ relpath hack), there would be a changed repo location warning
  737. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  738. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  739. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  740. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.
  741. - docs:
  742. - deployment.rst: do not use bare variables in ansible snippet

  749. - no chown when rsyncing (fixes boxes w/o vagrant group)
  750. - fix fuse permission issues on linux/freebsd, #1544
  751. - skip fuse test for borg binary + fakeroot
  752. - ignore security.selinux xattrs, fixes tests on centos, #1735
  753. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  754. -----------------------------
  755. Bug fixes:
  756. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  757. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  758. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  759. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  760. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  761. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  762. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  763. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  764. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  765. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  766. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  767. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  768. was openend. add an error message for this.
  769. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  770. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  771. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  772. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  773. - enable relative pathes in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  774. - allow repo pathes with colons, #1705
  775. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  776. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  777. #1684
  778. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  779. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  780. New features:
  781. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  782. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  783. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  784. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  785. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  786. soon as it is input.
  787. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  788. #1352
  789. Other changes:
  790. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  791. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  792. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  793. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  794. dataflow direction.
  795. - improved messages / error reporting:
  796. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  797. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  798. #1572
  799. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  800. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  801. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  802. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  803. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  804. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  805. fuse/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  806. - docs:
  807. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  808. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).
  809. - fix second block in "Easy to use" section not showing on GitHub, #1576
  810. - add bestpractices badge

  819. - setup.py: fix build_usage to always process all commands
  820. - added docs explaining multiple --restrict-to-path flags, #1602
  821. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  822. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  823. - tests:
  824. - work around fuse xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  825. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  826. - travis: test fuse-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  827. - re-enable fuse tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  828. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  829. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  830. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  831. --------------------------
  832. Security fixes:
  833. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  834. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  835. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  836. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  837. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  838. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  839. the pathes you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  840. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  841. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  842. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  843. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  844. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  845. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  846. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path pathes now. We are sorry if
  847. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  848. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  849. Bug fixes:
  850. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  851. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  852. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  853. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  854. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  855. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  856. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  857. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  858. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  859. New features:
  860. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  861. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  862. Other changes:
  863. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  864. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  865. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  866. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  867. -----------------------------
  868. Bug fixes:
  869. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  870. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  871. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  872. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  873. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  874. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  875. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  876. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  877. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  878. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  879. these would never be cleaned up.
  880. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  881. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  882. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  883. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  884. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  885. path being a integer FD
  886. Other changes:
  887. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  888. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  889. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  890. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  891. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  892. real problem.
  893. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  894. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  895. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  896. - docs:
  897. - document archive limitation, #1452
  898. - improve prune examples
  899. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  900. -----------------------------

  902. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  903. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  904. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  905. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unneccessary re-reading/chunking/
  906. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  907. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  908. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  909. to 20, #1338
  910. - FUSE:
  911. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  912. - always create a root dir, #1125
  913. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  914. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  915. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  916. New features:
  917. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  918. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  919. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  920. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  921. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  922. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  923. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  924. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  925. server), #1291.
  926. Other changes:
  927. - Vagrantfile:
  928. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  929. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  930. - tests:
  931. - fix fuse tests on OS X, #1433
  932. - docs:
  933. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  934. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  935. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  936. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  937. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  938. - added platform feature matrix
  939. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  940. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  941. --------------------------
  942. Bug fixes:
  943. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  944. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  945. Other changes:
  946. - tests:
  947. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  948. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  949. - docs:
  950. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  951. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  952. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  953. -----------------------------
  954. New features:
  955. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  956. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  957. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  958. Bug fixes:
  959. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  960. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  961. repository code.
  962. - borg mount (FUSE):
  963. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  964. #1295
  965. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  966. used), #1302. (*)
  967. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  968. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  969. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  970. Other changes:
  971. - tests:
  972. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  973. - deduplicate fuse (u)mount code
  974. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  975. - docs:
  976. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  977. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  978. Notes:
  979. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  980. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  981. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  982. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  983. repair was done with an older borg version.
  984. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  985. --------------------------
  986. Bug fixes:
  987. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  988. Other changes:
  989. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  990. - add release helper scripts
  991. - Vagrantfile:
  992. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  993. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  994. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  995. --------------------------
  996. New features:
  997. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  998. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  999. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  1000. practically usable.
  1001. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  1002. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  1003. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  1004. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  1005. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  1006. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  1007. Bug fixes:
  1008. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  1009. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  1010. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  1011. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  1012. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  1013. transaction rollback to clean up).
  1014. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  1015. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  1016. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  1017. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  1018. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  1019. error reporting.
  1020. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  1021. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  1022. sync the containing directory.
  1023. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  1024. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  1025. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  1026. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  1027. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  1028. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  1029. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  1030. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  1031. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  1032. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  1033. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  1034. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  1035. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  1036. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  1037. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  1038. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  1039. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  1040. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  1041. - borg delete:
  1042. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  1043. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  1044. - borg check:
  1045. - make borg check work for empty repo
  1046. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  1047. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  1048. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  1049. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  1050. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  1051. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  1052. - tests:
  1053. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  1054. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  1055. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  1056. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264

  1071. - update cygwin installation docs
  1072. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  1073. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  1074. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  1075. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  1076. - tests: add tests for format_line
  1077. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd

  1085. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  1086. --------------------------
  1087. Bug fixes:
  1088. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  1089. a prune run), #997
  1090. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  1091. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  1092. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  1093. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  1094. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  1095. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  1096. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  1097. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  1098. space), #1063
  1099. Other changes:
  1100. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933

  1108. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  1109. --------------------------
  1110. Bug fixes:
  1111. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  1112. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  1113. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  1114. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  1115. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  1116. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  1117. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  1118. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  1119. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  1120. a overflow would have occured.
  1121. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  1122. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  1123. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  1124. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873
  1125. - workround a bug in Linux fadvise FADV_DONTNEED, #907
  1126. Other changes:
  1127. - better test coverage for hashindex, incl. overflow testing, checking correct
  1128. computations so endianness issues would be discovered.
  1129. - reproducible doc for ProgressIndicator*, make the build reproducible.
  1130. - use latest llfuse for vagrant machines
  1131. - docs:
  1132. - use /path/to/repo in examples, fixes #901
  1133. - fix confusing usage of "repo" as archive name (use "arch")
  1134. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  1135. --------------------------
  1136. New features:
  1137. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  1138. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  1139. also:
  1140. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  1141. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  1142. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  1143. possibly CIFS).
  1144. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  1145. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  1146. this on his own.
  1147. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  1148. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  1149. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  1150. Bug fixes:
  1151. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  1152. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  1153. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  1154. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  1155. - fix build on illumos
  1156. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  1157. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  1158. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  1159. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  1160. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  1161. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  1162. instead, #791
  1163. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  1164. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  1165. #798
  1166. Other changes:
  1167. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  1168. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  1169. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859
  1170. - docs:
  1171. - fix cygwin requirements (gcc-g++)
  1172. - document how to debug / file filesystem issues, #664
  1173. - fix reproducible build of api docs
  1174. - RTD theme: CSS !important overwrite, #727
  1175. - Document logo font. Recreate logo png. Remove GIMP logo file.
  1176. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  1177. --------------------------
  1178. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  1179. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  1180. check your backup logs.
  1181. Compatibility notes:
  1182. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  1183. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  1184. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  1185. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  1186. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  1187. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  1188. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  1189. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  1190. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  1191. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  1192. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  1193. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  1194. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  1195. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  1196. use --one-file-system instead
  1197. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  1198. - -p now is same as --progress
  1199. - -P now is same as --prefix
  1200. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  1201. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  1202. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  1203. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  1204. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  1205. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  1206. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  1207. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  1208. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  1209. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  1210. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  1211. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  1212. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  1213. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  1214. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  1215. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  1216. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  1217. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  1218. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  1219. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  1220. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  1221. usage).
  1222. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  1223. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  1224. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  1225. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  1226. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  1227. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  1228. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  1229. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  1230. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  1231. New features:
  1232. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  1233. Bug fixes:
  1234. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  1235. - added retry counter for passwords, #703
  1236. Other changes:
  1237. - fix compiler warnings, #697
  1238. - docs:
  1239. - update README.rst to new changelog location in docs/changes.rst
  1240. - add Teemu to AUTHORS

  1246. - format options for location: user, pid, fqdn, hostname, now, utcnow, user
  1247. - borg list --list-format
  1248. - borg prune -v --list enables the keep/prune list output, #658
  1249. Bug fixes:
  1250. - fix _open_rb noatime handling, #657
  1251. - add a simple archivename validator, #680
  1252. - borg create --stats: show timestamps in localtime, use same labels/formatting
  1253. as borg info, #651
  1254. - llfuse compatibility fixes (now compatible with: 0.40, 0.41, 0.42)
  1255. Other changes:
  1256. - it is now possible to use "pip install borgbackup[fuse]" to automatically
  1257. install the llfuse dependency using the correct version requirement
  1258. for it. you still need to care about having installed the FUSE / build
  1259. related OS package first, though, so that building llfuse can succeed.
  1260. - Vagrant: drop Ubuntu Precise (12.04) - does not have Python >= 3.4
  1261. - Vagrant: use pyinstaller v3.1.1 to build binaries
  1262. - docs:
  1263. - borg upgrade: add to docs that only LOCAL repos are supported
  1264. - borg upgrade also handles borg 0.xx -> 1.0
  1265. - use pip extras or requirements file to install llfuse
  1266. - fix order in release process
  1267. - updated usage docs and other minor / cosmetic fixes

  1273. - update example for borg create -v --stats (use iso datetime format), #663
  1274. - added example to BORG_RSH docs
  1275. - "connection closed by remote": add FAQ entry and point to issue #636

  1279. - borg migrate-to-repokey ("passphrase" -> "repokey" encryption key mode)
  1280. - implement --short for borg list REPO, #611
  1281. - implement --list for borg extract (consistency with borg create)

  1293. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  1294. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  1295. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  1296. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:
  1297. - use os.urandom instead of own cython openssl RAND_bytes wrapper, #493
  1298. - use hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac from py stdlib instead of own openssl wrapper
  1299. - use hmac.compare_digest instead of == operator (constant time comparison)
  1300. - use stat.filemode instead of homegrown code

  1314. - misc. updates and fixes
  1315. Version 0.30.0 (2016-01-23)
  1316. ---------------------------
  1317. Compatibility notes:
  1318. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1319. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1320. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1321. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1322. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1323. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1324. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)
  1325. Bug fixes:
  1326. - fix crash when using borg create --dry-run --keep-tag-files, #570
  1327. - make sure teardown with cleanup happens for Cache and RepositoryCache,
  1328. avoiding leftover locks and TEMP dir contents, #285 (partially), #548
  1329. - fix locking KeyError, partial fix for #502
  1330. - log stats consistently, #526
  1331. - add abbreviated weekday to timestamp format, fixes #496
  1332. - strip whitespace when loading exclusions from file
  1333. - unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH before invoking ssh, fixes strange OpenSSL library
  1334. version warning when using the borg binary, #514
  1335. - add some error handling/fallback for C library loading, #494
  1336. - added BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING for check in "borg delete", #503
  1337. - remove unused "repair" rpc method name
  1338. New features:
  1339. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1340. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1341. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1342. - support different styles for patterns:
  1343. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1344. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1345. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1346. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1347. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1348. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1349. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>
  1350. - update progress indication more often (e.g. for borg create within big
  1351. files or for borg check repo), #500
  1352. - finer chunker granularity for items metadata stream, #547, #487
  1353. - borg create --list now used (additionally to -v) to enable the verbose
  1354. file list output
  1355. - display borg version below tracebacks, #532
  1356. Other changes:
  1357. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1358. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1359. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1360. fixes #569
  1361. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1362. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1363. than debian7
  1364. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip

  1381. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1382. ---------------------------
  1383. Compatibility notes:
  1384. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1385. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1386. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1387. option.
  1388. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1389. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1390. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1391. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1392. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1393. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1394. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1395. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1396. Bug fixes:
  1397. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1398. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1399. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1400. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432

  1408. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1409. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1410. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1411. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1412. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1413. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1414. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1415. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1416. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1417. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1418. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1419. - more progress indicators, #394
  1420. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1421. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206

  1640. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  1641. ---------------------------
  1642. Compatibility notes:
  1643. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  1644. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  1645. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  1646. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  1647. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  1648. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  1649. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  1650. Deprecations:
  1651. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  1652. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  1653. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  1654. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  1655. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  1656. (which is the default).
  1657. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  1658. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  1659. New features:
  1660. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  1661. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  1662. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  1663. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  1664. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  1665. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  1666. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  1667. Bug fixes:
  1668. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  1669. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  1670. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  1671. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  1672. the whole file, fixes #158.
  1673. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  1674. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  1675. Other changes:
  1676. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  1677. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  1678. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  1679. - more tests for archiver
  1680. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  1681. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  1682. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  1683. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  1684. - travis CI: use requirements file
  1685. - improved docs:
  1686. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  1687. - update docs about compression
  1688. - update development docs about fakeroot
  1689. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  1690. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  1691. - theme: use a lighter green
  1692. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  1693. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  1694. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  1695. ---------------------------
  1696. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  1697. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  1698. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  1699. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  1700. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  1701. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  1702. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  1703. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  1704. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  1705. Deprecations:
  1706. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  1707. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  1708. New features:
  1709. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  1710. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  1711. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  1712. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  1713. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  1714. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  1715. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  1716. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  1717. (attic #295).
  1718. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  1719. fixes #85
  1720. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  1721. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  1722. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  1723. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
