- Important notes 2.x
- ===================
- This section provides information about security and corruption issues.
- (nothing to see here yet)
- .. _upgradenotes2:
- Upgrade Notes
- =============
- borg 1.2.x to borg 2.0
- ----------------------
- Compatibility notes:
- - this is a major "breaking" release that is not compatible with existing repos.
- We tried to put all the necessary "breaking" changes into this release, so we
- hopefully do not need another breaking release in the near future. The changes
- were necessary for improved security, improved speed, unblocking future
- improvements, getting rid of legacy crap / design limitations, having less and
- simpler code to maintain.
- You can use "borg transfer" to transfer archives from borg 1.1/1.2 repos to
- a new borg 2.0 repo, but it will need some time and space.
- Before using "borg transfer", you must have upgraded to borg >= 1.2.6 (or
- another borg version that was patched to fix CVE-2023-CVE-2023-36811) and
- you must have followed the upgrade instructions at top of the change log
- relating to manifest and archive TAMs (borg2 just requires these TAMs now).
- - command line syntax was changed, scripts and wrappers will need changes:
- - you will usually either export BORG_REPO=<MYREPO> into your environment or
- call borg like: "borg -r <MYREPO> <COMMAND>".
- in the docs, we usually omit "-r ..." for brevity.
- - the scp-style REPO syntax was removed, please use ssh://..., #6697
- - ssh:// URLs: removed support for /~otheruser/, #6855.
- If you used this, just replace it by: ssh://user@host:port/home/otheruser/
- - -P / --prefix option was removed, please use the similar -a / --match-archives.
- - the archive name is always given separately from the repository
- (differently than with borg 1.x you must not give repo::archive).
- - the archive name is either given as a positional parameter, like:
- - borg create myarchive2 /some/path
- - borg diff myarchive1 myarchive2
- - or, if the command makes sense for an arbitrary amount of archives, archives
- can be selected using a glob pattern, like:
- - borg delete -a 'sh:myarchive*'
- - borg recreate -a 'sh:myarchive*'
- - some borg 1.x commands that supported working on a repo AND on an archive
- were split into 2 commands, some others were renamed:
- - borg 2 repo commands:
- - borg rcreate # "repo create", was: borg init
- - borg rlist # "repo list"
- - borg rinfo # "repo info"
- - borg rdelete # "repo delete"
- - borg 2 archive commands:
- - borg create ARCHIVE ...
- - borg list ARCHIVE
- - borg extract ARCHIVE ...
- - borg diff ARCH1 ARCH2
- - borg rename OLDNAME NEWNAME
- - borg info -a ARCH_GLOB
- - borg delete -a ARCH_GLOB
- - borg recreate -a ARCH_GLOB ...
- - borg mount -a ARCH_GLOB mountpoint ...
- For more details, please consult the docs or --help option output.
- - create/recreate/import-tar --timestamp: defaults to local timezone
- now (was: UTC)
- - some deprecated options were removed:
- - removed --remote-ratelimit (use --upload-ratelimit)
- - removed --numeric-owner (use --numeric-ids)
- - removed --nobsdflags (use --noflags)
- - removed --noatime (default now, see also --atime)
- - removed --save-space option (does not change behaviour)
- - using --list together with --progress is now disallowed (except with --log-json), #7219
- - the --glob-archives option was renamed to --match-archives (the short option
- name -a is unchanged) and extended to support different pattern styles:
- - id: for identical string match (this is the new default!)
- - sh: for shell pattern / globbing match (this was used by --glob-archives)
- - re: for regular expression match
- So you might need to edit your scripts like e.g.::
- borg 1.x: --glob-archives 'myserver-*'
- borg 2.0: --match-archives 'sh:myserver-*'
- - use platformdirs 3.x.x instead of home-grown code. Due to that:
- - XDG_*_HOME is not honoured on macOS and on Windows.
- - BORG_BASE_DIR can still be used to enforce some base dir + .config/ or .cache/.
- - the default macOS config and cache dir will now be in ~/Library/Application Support/borg/.
- - create: different included/excluded status chars, #7321
- - dry-run: now uses "+" (was: "-") and "-" (was: "x") for included/excluded status
- - non-dry-run: now uses "-" (was: "x") for excluded files
- Option --filter=... might need an update, if you filter for the status chars
- that were changed.
- - borg is now more strict and disallows giving some options multiple times -
- if that makes no sense. Highlander options, see #6269. That might make scripts
- fail now that somehow "worked" before (but maybe didn't work as intended due to
- the contradicting options).

- - Key: crypt_key instead of enc_key + enc_hmac_key, #6611
- - misc. docs updates and improvements
- - CI: test on macOS 12 without fuse / fuse tests
- - repository: add debug logging for issue #6687
- - _version.py: remove trailing blank, add LF at EOF (make pep8 checker happy)
- Version 2.0.0a4 (2022-07-17)
- ----------------------------
- New features:
- - recreate: consider level for recompression, #6698, #3622
- Other changes:
- - stop using libdeflate
- - CI: add mypy (if we add type hints, it can do type checking)
- - big changes to the source code:
- - split up archiver module, transform it into a package
- - use Black for automated code formatting
- - remove some legacy code
- - adapt/fix code for mypy
- - use language_level = 3str for cython (this will be the default in cython 3)
- - docs: document HardLinkManager and hlid, #2388
- Version 2.0.0a3 (2022-07-04)
- ----------------------------
- Fixes:
- - check repo version, accept old repos only for --other-repo (e.g. rcreate/transfer).
- v2 is the default repo version for borg 2.0. v1 repos must only be used in a
- read-only way, e.g. for --other-repo=V1_REPO with borg init and borg transfer!
- New features:
- - transfer: --upgrader=NoOp is the default.
- This is to support general-purpose transfer of archives between related borg2
- repos.
- - transfer: --upgrader=From12To20 must be used to transfer (and convert) archives
- from borg 1.2 repos to borg 2.0 repos.
- Other changes:
- - removed some deprecated options
- - removed -P (aka --prefix) option, #6806. The option -a (aka --glob-archives)
- can be used for same purpose and is more powerful, e.g.: -a 'PREFIX*'
- - rcreate: always use argon2 kdf for new repos, #6820
- - rcreate: remove legacy encryption modes for new repos, #6490
- Version 2.0.0a2 (2022-06-26)
- ----------------------------
- Changes:
- - split repo and archive name into separate args, #948
- - use -r or --repo or BORG_REPO env var to give the repository
- - use --other-repo or BORG_OTHER_REPO to give another repo (e.g. borg transfer)
- - use positional argument for archive name or `-a ARCH_GLOB`
- - remove support for scp-style repo specification, use ssh://...
- - simplify stats output: repo ops -> repo stats, archive ops -> archive stats
- - repository index: add payload size (==csize) and flags to NSIndex entries
- - repository index: set/query flags, iteration over flagged items (NSIndex)
- - repository: sync write file in get_fd
- - stats: deduplicated size now, was deduplicated compressed size in borg 1.x
- - remove csize support at most places in the code (chunks index, stats, get_size,
- Item.chunks)
- - replace problematic/ugly hardlink_master approach of borg 1.x by:
- - symmetric hlid (all hardlinks pointing to same inode have same hlid)
- - all archived hardlinked regular files have a chunks list
- - borg rcreate --other-repo=OTHER_REPO: reuse key material from OTHER_REPO, #6554.
- This is useful if you want to use borg transfer to transfer archives from an
- existing borg 1.1/1.2 repo. If the chunker secret and the id key and algorithm
- stay the same, the deduplication will also work between past and future backups.
- - borg transfer:
- - efficiently copy archives from a borg 1.1/1.2 repo to a new repo.
- uses deduplication and does not decompress/recompress file content data.
- - does some cleanups / fixes / conversions:
- - disallow None value for .user/group/chunks/chunks_healthy
- - cleanup msgpack related str/bytes mess, use new msgpack spec, #968
- - obfuscation: fix byte order for size, #6701
- - compression: use the 2 bytes for type and level, #6698
- - use version 2 for new archives
- - convert timestamps int/bigint -> msgpack.Timestamp, see #2323
- - all hardlinks have chunks, maybe chunks_healthy, hlid
- - remove the zlib type bytes hack
- - make sure items with chunks have precomputed size
- - removes the csize element from the tuples in the Item.chunks list
- - clean item of attic 0.13 'acl' bug remnants
- - crypto: see 1.3.0a1 log entry
- - removed "borg upgrade" command (not needed any more)
- - compact: removed --cleanup-commits option
- - docs: fixed quickstart and usage docs with new cli command syntax
- - docs: removed the parts talking about potential AES-CTR mode issues
- (we will not use that any more).
- Version 1.3.0a1 (2022-04-15)
- ----------------------------
- Although this was released as 1.3.0a1, it can be also seen as 2.0.0a1 as it was
- later decided to do breaking changes and thus the major release number had to
- be increased (thus, there will not be a 1.3.0 release, but 2.0.0).
- New features:
- - init: new --encryption=(repokey|keyfile)-[blake2-](aes-ocb|chacha20-poly1305)
- - New, better, faster crypto (see encryption-aead diagram in the docs), #6463.
- - New AEAD cipher suites: AES-OCB and CHACHA20-POLY1305.
- - Session keys are derived via HKDF from random session id and master key.
- - Nonces/MessageIVs are counters starting from 0 for each session.
- - AAD: chunk id, key type, messageIV, sessionID are now authenticated also.
- - Solves the potential AES-CTR mode counter management issues of the legacy crypto.
- - init: --key-algorithm=argon2 (new default KDF, older pbkdf2 also still available)
- borg key change-passphrase / change-location keeps the key algorithm unchanged.
- - key change-algorithm: to upgrade existing keys to argon2 or downgrade to pbkdf2.
- We recommend you to upgrade unless you have to keep the key compatible with older versions of borg.
- - key change-location: usable for repokey <-> keyfile location change
- - benchmark cpu: display benchmarks of cpu bound stuff
- - export-tar: new --tar-format=PAX (default: GNU)
- - import-tar/export-tar: can use PAX format for ctime and atime support
- - import-tar/export-tar: --tar-format=BORG: roundtrip ALL item metadata, #5830
- - repository: create and use version 2 repos only for now
- - repository: implement PUT2: header crc32, overall xxh64, #1704
- Other changes:
- - require python >= 3.9, #6315
- - simplify libs setup, #6482
- - unbundle most bundled 3rd party code, use libs, #6316
- - use libdeflate.crc32 (Linux and all others) or zlib.crc32 (macOS)
- - repository: code cleanups / simplifications
- - internal crypto api: speedups / cleanups / refactorings / modernisation
- - remove "borg upgrade" support for "attic backup" repos
- - remove PassphraseKey code and borg key migrate-to-repokey command
- - OpenBSD: build borg with OpenSSL (not: LibreSSL), #6474
- - remove support for LibreSSL, #6474
- - remove support for OpenSSL < 1.1.1
