  1. Important notes
  2. ===============
  3. This section is used for infos about security and corruption issues.
  4. .. _tam_vuln:
  5. Pre-1.0.9 manifest spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2016-10099)
  6. ----------------------------------------------------------
  7. A flaw in the cryptographic authentication scheme in Borg allowed an attacker
  8. to spoof the manifest. The attack requires an attacker to be able to
  9. 1. insert files (with no additional headers) into backups
  10. 2. gain write access to the repository
  11. This vulnerability does not disclose plaintext to the attacker, nor does it
  12. affect the authenticity of existing archives.
  13. The vulnerability allows an attacker to create a spoofed manifest (the list of archives).
  14. Creating plausible fake archives may be feasible for small archives, but is unlikely
  15. for large archives.
  16. The fix adds a separate authentication tag to the manifest. For compatibility
  17. with prior versions this authentication tag is *not* required by default
  18. for existing repositories. Repositories created with 1.0.9 and later require it.
  19. Steps you should take:
  20. 1. Upgrade all clients to 1.0.9 or later.
  21. 2. Run ``borg upgrade --tam <repository>`` *on every client* for *each* repository.
  22. 3. This will list all archives, including archive IDs, for easy comparison with your logs.
  23. 4. Done.
  24. Prior versions can access and modify repositories with this measure enabled, however,
  25. to 1.0.9 or later their modifications are indiscernible from an attack and will
  26. raise an error until the below procedure is followed. We are aware that this can
  27. be be annoying in some circumstances, but don't see a way to fix the vulnerability
  28. otherwise.
  29. In case a version prior to 1.0.9 is used to modify a repository where above procedure
  30. was completed, and now you get an error message from other clients:
  31. 1. ``borg upgrade --tam --force <repository>`` once with *any* client suffices.
  32. This attack is mitigated by:
  33. - Noting/logging ``borg list``, ``borg info``, or ``borg create --stats``, which
  34. contain the archive IDs.
  35. We are not aware of others having discovered, disclosed or exploited this vulnerability.
  36. Vulnerability time line:
  37. * 2016-11-14: Vulnerability and fix discovered during review of cryptography by Marian Beermann (@enkore)

  42. .. _attic013_check_corruption:
  43. Pre-1.0.9 potential data loss
  44. -----------------------------
  45. If you have archives in your repository that were made with attic <= 0.13
  46. (and later migrated to borg), running borg check would report errors in these
  47. archives. See issue #1837.
  48. The reason for this is a invalid (and useless) metadata key that was
  49. always added due to a bug in these old attic versions.
  50. If you run borg check --repair, things escalate quickly: all archive items
  51. with invalid metadata will be killed. Due to that attic bug, that means all
  52. items in all archives made with these old attic versions.
  53. Pre-1.0.4 potential repo corruption
  54. -----------------------------------
  55. Some external errors (like network or disk I/O errors) could lead to
  56. corruption of the backup repository due to issue #1138.
  57. A sign that this happened is if "E" status was reported for a file that can
  58. not be explained by problems with the source file. If you still have logs from
  59. "borg create -v --list", you can check for "E" status.
  60. Here is what could cause corruption and what you can do now:
  61. 1) I/O errors (e.g. repo disk errors) while writing data to repo.
  62. This could lead to corrupted segment files.
  63. Fix::
  64. # check for corrupt chunks / segments:
  65. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  66. # repair the repo:
  67. borg check -v --repository-only --repair REPO
  68. # make sure everything is fixed:
  69. borg check -v --repository-only REPO
  70. 2) Unreliable network / unreliable connection to the repo.
  71. This could lead to archive metadata corruption.
  72. Fix::
  73. # check for corrupt archives:
  74. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  75. # delete the corrupt archives:
  76. borg delete --force REPO::CORRUPT_ARCHIVE
  77. # make sure everything is fixed:
  78. borg check -v --archives-only REPO
  79. 3) In case you want to do more intensive checking.
  80. The best check that everything is ok is to run a dry-run extraction::
  81. borg extract -v --dry-run REPO::ARCHIVE

  83. Changelog
  84. =========
  85. Version 1.1.0b4 (not released yet)
  86. ----------------------------------
  87. New features:
  88. - the --exclude-if-present option now supports tagging a folder with any
  89. filesystem object type (file, folder, etc), instead of expecting only files
  90. as tags, #1999
  91. - the --keep-tag-files option has been deprecated in favor of the new
  92. --keep-exclude-tags, to account for the change mentioned above.
  93. Version 1.1.0b3 (2017-01-15)
  94. ----------------------------
  95. Compatibility notes:
  96. - borg init: removed the default of "--encryption/-e", #1979
  97. This was done so users do a informed decision about -e mode.
  98. Bug fixes:
  99. - borg recreate: don't rechunkify unless explicitly told so
  100. - borg info: fixed bug when called without arguments, #1914
  101. - borg init: fix free space check crashing if disk is full, #1821
  102. - borg debug delete/get obj: fix wrong reference to exception
  103. - fix processing of remote ~/ and ~user/ paths (regressed since 1.1.0b1), #1759
  104. - posix platform module: only build / import on non-win32 platforms, #2041
  105. New features:
  106. - new CRC32 implementations that are much faster than the zlib one used previously, #1970
  107. - add blake2b key modes (use blake2b as MAC). This links against system libb2,
  108. if possible, otherwise uses bundled code
  109. - automatically remove stale locks - set BORG_HOSTNAME_IS_UNIQUE env var
  110. to enable stale lock killing. If set, stale locks in both cache and
  111. repository are deleted. #562 #1253
  112. - borg info <repo>: print general repo information, #1680
  113. - borg check --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1663
  114. - borg mount --first / --last / --sort / --prefix, #1542
  115. - implement "health" item formatter key, #1749
  116. - BORG_SECURITY_DIR to remember security related infos outside the cache.
  117. Key type, location and manifest timestamp checks now survive cache
  118. deletion. This also means that you can now delete your cache and avoid
  119. previous warnings, since Borg can still tell it's safe.
  120. - implement BORG_NEW_PASSPHRASE, #1768
  121. Other changes:
  122. - borg recreate:
  123. - remove special-cased --dry-run
  124. - update --help
  125. - remove bloat: interruption blah, autocommit blah, resuming blah
  126. - re-use existing checkpoint functionality
  127. - archiver tests: add check_cache tool - lints refcounts
  128. - fixed cache sync performance regression from 1.1.0b1 onwards, #1940
  129. - syncing the cache without chunks.archive.d (see :ref:`disable_archive_chunks`)
  130. now avoids any merges and is thus faster, #1940
  131. - borg check --verify-data: faster due to linear on-disk-order scan
  132. - borg debug-xxx commands removed, we use "debug xxx" subcommands now, #1627
  133. - improve metadata handling speed
  134. - shortcut hashindex_set by having hashindex_lookup hint about address
  135. - improve / add progress displays, #1721
  136. - check for index vs. segment files object count mismatch
  137. - make RPC protocol more extensible: use named parameters.

  140. - docs:
  141. - quickstart: add a comment about other (remote) filesystems
  142. - quickstart: only give one possible ssh url syntax, all others are
  143. documented in usage chapter.
  144. - mention file://
  145. - document repo URLs / archive location
  146. - clarify borg diff help, #980
  147. - deployment: synthesize alternative --restrict-to-path example
  148. - improve cache / index docs, esp. files cache docs, #1825
  149. - document using "git merge 1.0-maint -s recursive -X rename-threshold=20%"
  150. for avoiding troubles when merging the 1.0-maint branch into master.
  151. - tests:
  152. - fuse tests: catch ENOTSUP on freebsd
  153. - fuse tests: test troublesome xattrs last
  154. - fix byte range error in test, #1740
  155. - use monkeypatch to set env vars, but only on pytest based tests.
  156. - point XDG_*_HOME to temp dirs for tests, #1714
  157. - remove all BORG_* env vars from the outer environment

  164. - When running out of buffer memory when reading xattrs, only skip the
  165. current file, #1993
  166. - Fixed "borg upgrade --tam" crashing with unencrypted repositories. Since
  167. :ref:`the issue <tam_vuln>` is not relevant for unencrypted repositories,

  219. to spoof the manifest. See :ref:`tam_vuln` above for the steps you should
  220. take.
  221. CVE-2016-10099 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  222. - borg check: When rebuilding the manifest (which should only be needed very rarely)
  223. duplicate archive names would be handled on a "first come first serve" basis, allowing
  224. an attacker to apparently replace archives.
  225. CVE-2016-10100 was assigned to this vulnerability.
  226. Bug fixes:
  227. - borg check:

  248. -----------------------------
  249. Bug fixes:
  250. - files cache: fix determination of newest mtime in backup set (which is

  253. - borg check:
  254. - fix incorrectly reporting attic 0.13 and earlier archives as corrupt

  258. - at xattr module import time, loggers are not initialized yet
  259. New features:
  260. - borg umount <mountpoint>
  261. exposed already existing umount code via the CLI api, so users can use it,
  262. which is more consistent than using borg to mount and fusermount -u (or
  263. umount) to un-mount, #1855.

  294. ----------------------------
  295. Bug fixes:
  296. - fix incorrect preservation of delete tags, leading to "object count mismatch"

  307. - borg check: delete chunks with integrity errors, #1575, so they can be
  308. "repaired" immediately and maybe healed later.
  309. - archives filters concept (refactoring/unifying older code)
  310. - covers --first/--last/--prefix/--sort-by options
  311. - currently used for borg list/info/delete
  312. Other changes:
  313. - borg check --verify-data slightly tuned (use get_many())
  314. - change {utcnow} and {now} to ISO-8601 format ("T" date/time separator)
  315. - repo check: log transaction IDs, improve object count mismatch diagnostic
  316. - Vagrantfile: use TW's fresh-bootloader pyinstaller branch

  356. reverse time order. rephrase and reorder help text.
  357. - implement --keep-last N via --keep-secondly N, also --keep-minutely.
  358. assuming that there is not more than 1 backup archive made in 1s,

  382. - borg list/prune/delete: also output archive id, #731
  383. - --show-version: shows/logs the borg version, #725

  437. and the user would be asked if this is ok. this would break automation and
  438. require manual intervention, which is unwanted.
  439. thus, we automatically fix the previous_location config entry, if it only
  440. changed in the expected way, but still means the same location.

  453. Version 1.0.8rc1 (2016-10-17)
  454. -----------------------------
  455. Bug fixes:
  456. - fix signal handling (SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGHUP), #1620 #1593
  457. Fixes e.g. leftover lock files for quickly repeated signals (e.g. Ctrl-C
  458. Ctrl-C) or lost connections or systemd sending SIGHUP.
  459. - progress display: adapt formatting to narrow screens, do not crash, #1628
  460. - borg create --read-special - fix crash on broken symlink, #1584.
  461. also correctly processes broken symlinks. before this regressed to a crash
  462. (5b45385) a broken symlink would've been skipped.
  463. - process_symlink: fix missing backup_io()
  464. Fixes a chmod/chown/chgrp/unlink/rename/... crash race between getting
  465. dirents and dispatching to process_symlink.
  466. - yes(): abort on wrong answers, saying so, #1622
  467. - fixed exception borg serve raised when connection was closed before reposiory
  468. was openend. add an error message for this.
  469. - fix read-from-closed-FD issue, #1551
  470. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  471. - hashindex: fix iterators (always raise StopIteration when exhausted)
  472. (this seems not to get triggered in 1.0.x, but was discovered in master)
  473. - enable relative pathes in ssh:// repo URLs, via /./relpath hack, #1655
  474. - allow repo pathes with colons, #1705
  475. - update changed repo location immediately after acceptance, #1524
  476. - fix debug get-obj / delete-obj crash if object not found and remote repo,
  477. #1684
  478. - pyinstaller: use a spec file to build borg.exe binary, exclude osxfuse dylib
  479. on Mac OS X (avoids mismatch lib <-> driver), #1619
  480. New features:
  481. - add "borg key export" / "borg key import" commands, #1555, so users are able
  482. to backup / restore their encryption keys more easily.
  483. Supported formats are the keyfile format used by borg internally and a
  484. special "paper" format with by line checksums for printed backups. For the
  485. paper format, the import is an interactive process which checks each line as
  486. soon as it is input.
  487. - add "borg debug-refcount-obj" to determine a repo objects' referrer counts,
  488. #1352
  489. Other changes:
  490. - add "borg debug ..." subcommands
  491. (borg debug-* still works, but will be removed in borg 1.1)
  492. - setup.py: Add subcommand support to build_usage.
  493. - remote: change exception message for unexpected RPC data format to indicate
  494. dataflow direction.
  495. - improved messages / error reporting:
  496. - IntegrityError: add placeholder for message, so that the message we give
  497. appears not only in the traceback, but also in the (short) error message,
  498. #1572
  499. - borg.key: include chunk id in exception msgs, #1571
  500. - better messages for cache newer than repo, #1700
  501. - vagrant (testing/build VMs):
  502. - upgrade OSXfuse / FUSE for macOS to 3.5.2
  503. - update Debian Wheezy boxes, #1686
  504. - openbsd / netbsd: use own boxes, fixes misc rsync installation and
  505. fuse/llfuse related testing issues, #1695 #1696 #1670 #1671 #1728
  506. - docs:
  507. - add docs for "key export" and "key import" commands, #1641
  508. - fix inconsistency in FAQ (pv-wrapper).

  521. - add more specific warning about write-access debug commands, #1587
  522. - clarify FAQ regarding backup of virtual machines, #1672
  523. - tests:
  524. - work around fuse xattr test issue with recent fakeroot
  525. - simplify repo/hashindex tests
  526. - travis: test fuse-enabled borg, use trusty to have a recent FUSE
  527. - re-enable fuse tests for RemoteArchiver (no deadlocks any more)
  528. - clean env for pytest based tests, #1714
  529. - fuse_mount contextmanager: accept any options
  530. Version 1.0.7 (2016-08-19)
  531. --------------------------
  532. Security fixes:
  533. - borg serve: fix security issue with remote repository access, #1428
  534. If you used e.g. --restrict-to-path /path/client1/ (with or without trailing
  535. slash does not make a difference), it acted like a path prefix match using
  536. /path/client1 (note the missing trailing slash) - the code then also allowed
  537. working in e.g. /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  538. As this could accidentally lead to major security/privacy issues depending on
  539. the pathes you use, the behaviour was changed to be a strict directory match.
  540. That means --restrict-to-path /path/client1 (with or without trailing slash
  541. does not make a difference) now uses /path/client1/ internally (note the
  542. trailing slash here!) for matching and allows precisely that path AND any
  543. path below it. So, /path/client1 is allowed, /path/client1/repo1 is allowed,
  544. but not /path/client13 or /path/client1000.
  545. If you willingly used the undocumented (dangerous) previous behaviour, you
  546. may need to rearrange your --restrict-to-path pathes now. We are sorry if
  547. that causes work for you, but we did not want a potentially dangerous
  548. behaviour in the software (not even using a for-backwards-compat option).
  549. Bug fixes:
  550. - fixed repeated LockTimeout exceptions when borg serve tried to write into
  551. a already write-locked repo (e.g. by a borg mount), #502 part b)
  552. This was solved by the fix for #1220 in 1.0.7rc1 already.
  553. - fix cosmetics + file leftover for "not a valid borg repository", #1490
  554. - Cache: release lock if cache is invalid, #1501
  555. - borg extract --strip-components: fix leak of preloaded chunk contents
  556. - Repository, when a InvalidRepository exception happens:
  557. - fix spurious, empty lock.roster
  558. - fix repo not closed cleanly
  559. New features:
  560. - implement borg debug-info, fixes #1122
  561. (just calls already existing code via cli, same output as below tracebacks)
  562. Other changes:
  563. - skip the O_NOATIME test on GNU Hurd, fixes #1315
  564. (this is a very minor issue and the GNU Hurd project knows the bug)
  565. - document using a clean repo to test / build the release
  566. Version 1.0.7rc2 (2016-08-13)
  567. -----------------------------
  568. Bug fixes:
  569. - do not write objects to repository that are bigger than the allowed size,
  570. borg will reject reading them, #1451.
  571. Important: if you created archives with many millions of files or
  572. directories, please verify if you can open them successfully,
  573. e.g. try a "borg list REPO::ARCHIVE".
  574. - lz4 compression: dynamically enlarge the (de)compression buffer, the static
  575. buffer was not big enough for archives with extremely many items, #1453
  576. - larger item metadata stream chunks, raise archive item limit by 8x, #1452
  577. - fix untracked segments made by moved DELETEs, #1442
  578. Impact: Previously (metadata) segments could become untracked when deleting data,
  579. these would never be cleaned up.
  580. - extended attributes (xattrs) related fixes:
  581. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to the entire file not
  582. being backed up (while logging the error, exit code = 1), #1469
  583. - fixed a race condition in xattrs querying that led to a crash, #1462
  584. - raise OSError including the error message derived from errno, deal with
  585. path being a integer FD
  586. Other changes:
  587. - print active env var override by default, #1467
  588. - xattr module: refactor code, deduplicate, clean up
  589. - repository: split object size check into too small and too big
  590. - add a transaction_id assertion, so borg init on a broken (inconsistent)
  591. filesystem does not look like a coding error in borg, but points to the
  592. real problem.
  593. - explain confusing TypeError caused by compat support for old servers, #1456
  594. - add forgotten usage help file from build_usage
  595. - refactor/unify buffer code into helpers.Buffer class, add tests
  596. - docs:
  597. - document archive limitation, #1452
  598. - improve prune examples
  599. Version 1.0.7rc1 (2016-08-05)
  600. -----------------------------
  601. Bug fixes:
  602. - fix repo lock deadlocks (related to lock upgrade), #1220
  603. - catch unpacker exceptions, resync, #1351
  604. - fix borg break-lock ignoring BORG_REPO env var, #1324
  605. - files cache performance fixes (fixes unneccessary re-reading/chunking/
  606. hashing of unmodified files for some use cases):
  607. - fix unintended file cache eviction, #1430
  608. - implement BORG_FILES_CACHE_TTL, update FAQ, raise default TTL from 10
  609. to 20, #1338
  610. - FUSE:
  611. - cache partially read data chunks (performance), #965, #966
  612. - always create a root dir, #1125
  613. - use an OrderedDict for helptext, making the build reproducible, #1346
  614. - RemoteRepository init: always call close on exceptions, #1370 (cosmetic)
  615. - ignore stdout/stderr broken pipe errors (cosmetic), #1116
  616. New features:
  617. - better borg versions management support (useful esp. for borg servers
  618. wanting to offer multiple borg versions and for clients wanting to choose
  619. a specific server borg version), #1392:
  620. - add BORG_VERSION environment variable before executing "borg serve" via ssh
  621. - add new placeholder {borgversion}
  622. - substitute placeholders in --remote-path
  623. - borg init --append-only option (makes using the more secure append-only mode
  624. more convenient. when used remotely, this requires 1.0.7+ also on the borg
  625. server), #1291.
  626. Other changes:
  627. - Vagrantfile:
  628. - darwin64: upgrade to FUSE for macOS 3.4.1 (aka osxfuse), #1378
  629. - xenial64: use user "ubuntu", not "vagrant" (as usual), #1331
  630. - tests:
  631. - fix fuse tests on OS X, #1433
  632. - docs:
  633. - FAQ: add backup using stable filesystem names recommendation
  634. - FAQ about glibc compatibility added, #491, glibc-check improved
  635. - FAQ: 'A' unchanged file; remove ambiguous entry age sentence.
  636. - OS X: install pkg-config to build with FUSE support, fixes #1400
  637. - add notes about shell/sudo pitfalls with env. vars, #1380
  638. - added platform feature matrix
  639. - implement borg debug-dump-repo-objs
  640. Version 1.0.6 (2016-07-12)
  641. --------------------------
  642. Bug fixes:
  643. - Linux: handle multiple LD_PRELOAD entries correctly, #1314, #1111
  644. - Fix crash with unclear message if the libc is not found, #1314, #1111
  645. Other changes:
  646. - tests:
  647. - Fixed O_NOATIME tests for Solaris and GNU Hurd, #1315
  648. - Fixed sparse file tests for (file) systems not supporting it, #1310
  649. - docs:
  650. - Fixed syntax highlighting, #1313
  651. - misc docs: added data processing overview picture
  652. Version 1.0.6rc1 (2016-07-10)
  653. -----------------------------
  654. New features:
  655. - borg check --repair: heal damaged files if missing chunks re-appear (e.g. if
  656. the previously missing chunk was added again in a later backup archive),
  657. #148. (*) Also improved logging.
  658. Bug fixes:
  659. - sync_dir: silence fsync() failing with EINVAL, #1287
  660. Some network filesystems (like smbfs) don't support this and we use this in
  661. repository code.
  662. - borg mount (FUSE):
  663. - fix directories being shadowed when contained paths were also specified,
  664. #1295
  665. - raise I/O Error (EIO) on damaged files (unless -o allow_damaged_files is
  666. used), #1302. (*)
  667. - borg extract: warn if a damaged file is extracted, #1299. (*)
  668. - Added some missing return code checks (ChunkIndex._add, hashindex_resize).
  669. - borg check: fix/optimize initial hash table size, avoids resize of the table.
  670. Other changes:
  671. - tests:
  672. - add more FUSE tests, #1284
  673. - deduplicate fuse (u)mount code
  674. - fix borg binary test issues, #862
  675. - docs:
  676. - changelog: added release dates to older borg releases
  677. - fix some sphinx (docs generator) warnings, #881
  678. Notes:
  679. (*) Some features depend on information (chunks_healthy list) added to item
  680. metadata when a file with missing chunks was "repaired" using all-zero
  681. replacement chunks. The chunks_healthy list is generated since borg 1.0.4,
  682. thus borg can't recognize such "repaired" (but content-damaged) files if the
  683. repair was done with an older borg version.
  684. Version 1.0.5 (2016-07-07)
  685. --------------------------
  686. Bug fixes:
  687. - borg mount: fix FUSE crash in xattr code on Linux introduced in 1.0.4, #1282
  688. Other changes:
  689. - backport some FAQ entries from master branch
  690. - add release helper scripts
  691. - Vagrantfile:
  692. - centos6: no FUSE, don't build binary
  693. - add xz for redhat-like dists
  694. Version 1.0.4 (2016-07-07)
  695. --------------------------
  696. New features:
  697. - borg serve --append-only, #1168
  698. This was included because it was a simple change (append-only functionality
  699. was already present via repository config file) and makes better security now
  700. practically usable.
  701. - BORG_REMOTE_PATH environment variable, #1258
  702. This was included because it was a simple change (--remote-path cli option
  703. was already present) and makes borg much easier to use if you need it.
  704. - Repository: cleanup incomplete transaction on "no space left" condition.
  705. In many cases, this can avoid a 100% full repo filesystem (which is very
  706. problematic as borg always needs free space - even to delete archives).
  707. Bug fixes:
  708. - Fix wrong handling and reporting of OSErrors in borg create, #1138.
  709. This was a serious issue: in the context of "borg create", errors like
  710. repository I/O errors (e.g. disk I/O errors, ssh repo connection errors)
  711. were handled badly and did not lead to a crash (which would be good for this
  712. case, because the repo transaction would be incomplete and trigger a
  713. transaction rollback to clean up).
  714. Now, error handling for source files is cleanly separated from every other
  715. error handling, so only problematic input files are logged and skipped.
  716. - Implement fail-safe error handling for borg extract.
  717. Note that this isn't nearly as critical as the borg create error handling
  718. bug, since nothing is written to the repo. So this was "merely" misleading
  719. error reporting.
  720. - Add missing error handler in directory attr restore loop.
  721. - repo: make sure write data hits disk before the commit tag (#1236) and also
  722. sync the containing directory.
  723. - FUSE: getxattr fail must use errno.ENOATTR, #1126
  724. (fixes Mac OS X Finder malfunction: "zero bytes" file length, access denied)
  725. - borg check --repair: do not lose information about the good/original chunks.
  726. If we do not lose the original chunk IDs list when "repairing" a file
  727. (replacing missing chunks with all-zero chunks), we have a chance to "heal"
  728. the file back into its original state later, in case the chunks re-appear
  729. (e.g. in a fresh backup). Healing is not implemented yet, see #148.
  730. - fixes for --read-special mode:
  731. - ignore known files cache, #1241
  732. - fake regular file mode, #1214
  733. - improve symlinks handling, #1215
  734. - remove passphrase from subprocess environment, #1105
  735. - Ignore empty index file (will trigger index rebuild), #1195
  736. - add missing placeholder support for --prefix, #1027
  737. - improve exception handling for placeholder replacement
  738. - catch and format exceptions in arg parsing
  739. - helpers: fix "undefined name 'e'" in exception handler
  740. - better error handling for missing repo manifest, #1043
  741. - borg delete:
  742. - make it possible to delete a repo without manifest
  743. - borg delete --forced allows to delete corrupted archives, #1139
  744. - borg check:
  745. - make borg check work for empty repo
  746. - fix resync and msgpacked item qualifier, #1135
  747. - rebuild_manifest: fix crash if 'name' or 'time' key were missing.
  748. - better validation of item metadata dicts, #1130
  749. - better validation of archive metadata dicts
  750. - close the repo on exit - even if rollback did not work, #1197.
  751. This is rather cosmetic, it avoids repo closing in the destructor.
  752. - tests:
  753. - fix sparse file test, #1170
  754. - flake8: ignore new F405, #1185
  755. - catch "invalid argument" on cygwin, #257
  756. - fix sparseness assertion in test prep, #1264
  757. Other changes:
  758. - make borg build/work on OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1, #1187
  759. - docs / help:
  760. - fix / clarify prune help, #1143
  761. - fix "patterns" help formatting
  762. - add missing docs / help about placeholders
  763. - resources: rename atticmatic to borgmatic
  764. - document sshd settings, #545
  765. - more details about checkpoints, add split trick, #1171
  766. - support docs: add freenode web chat link, #1175
  767. - add prune visualization / example, #723
  768. - add note that Fnmatch is default, #1247
  769. - make clear that lzma levels > 6 are a waste of cpu cycles
  770. - add a "do not edit" note to auto-generated files, #1250
  771. - update cygwin installation docs
  772. - repository interoperability with borg master (1.1dev) branch:
  773. - borg check: read item metadata keys from manifest, #1147
  774. - read v2 hints files, #1235
  775. - fix hints file "unknown version" error handling bug
  776. - tests: add tests for format_line
  777. - llfuse: update version requirement for freebsd
  778. - Vagrantfile:
  779. - use openbsd 5.9, #716
  780. - do not install llfuse on netbsd (broken)
  781. - update OSXfuse to version 3.3.3
  782. - use Python 3.5.2 to build the binaries
  783. - glibc compatibility checker: scripts/glibc_check.py
  784. - add .eggs to .gitignore
  785. Version 1.0.3 (2016-05-20)
  786. --------------------------
  787. Bug fixes:
  788. - prune: avoid that checkpoints are kept and completed archives are deleted in
  789. a prune run), #997
  790. - prune: fix commandline argument validation - some valid command lines were
  791. considered invalid (annoying, but harmless), #942
  792. - fix capabilities extraction on Linux (set xattrs last, after chown()), #1069
  793. - repository: fix commit tags being seen in data
  794. - when probing key files, do binary reads. avoids crash when non-borg binary
  795. files are located in borg's key files directory.
  796. - handle SIGTERM and make a clean exit - avoids orphan lock files.
  797. - repository cache: don't cache large objects (avoid using lots of temp. disk
  798. space), #1063
  799. Other changes:
  800. - Vagrantfile: OS X: update osxfuse / install lzma package, #933
  801. - setup.py: add check for platform_darwin.c
  802. - setup.py: on freebsd, use a llfuse release that builds ok
  803. - docs / help:
  804. - update readthedocs URLs, #991
  805. - add missing docs for "borg break-lock", #992
  806. - borg create help: add some words to about the archive name
  807. - borg create help: document format tags, #894
  808. Version 1.0.2 (2016-04-16)
  809. --------------------------
  810. Bug fixes:
  811. - fix malfunction and potential corruption on (nowadays rather rare) big-endian
  812. architectures or bi-endian archs in (rare) BE mode. #886, #889
  813. cache resync / index merge was malfunctioning due to this, potentially
  814. leading to data loss. borg info had cosmetic issues (displayed wrong values).
  815. note: all (widespread) little-endian archs (like x86/x64) or bi-endian archs
  816. in (widespread) LE mode (like ARMEL, MIPSEL, ...) were NOT affected.
  817. - add overflow and range checks for 1st (special) uint32 of the hashindex
  818. values, switch from int32 to uint32.
  819. - fix so that refcount will never overflow, but just stick to max. value after
  820. a overflow would have occured.
  821. - borg delete: fix --cache-only for broken caches, #874
  822. Makes --cache-only idempotent: it won't fail if the cache is already deleted.
  823. - fixed borg create --one-file-system erroneously traversing into other
  824. filesystems (if starting fs device number was 0), #873

  834. Version 1.0.1 (2016-04-08)
  835. --------------------------
  836. New features:
  837. Usually there are no new features in a bugfix release, but these were added
  838. due to their high impact on security/safety/speed or because they are fixes
  839. also:
  840. - append-only mode for repositories, #809, #36 (see docs)
  841. - borg create: add --ignore-inode option to make borg detect unmodified files
  842. even if your filesystem does not have stable inode numbers (like sshfs and
  843. possibly CIFS).
  844. - add options --warning, --error, --critical for missing log levels, #826.
  845. it's not recommended to suppress warnings or errors, but the user may decide
  846. this on his own.
  847. note: --warning is not given to borg serve so a <= 1.0.0 borg will still
  848. work as server (it is not needed as it is the default).
  849. do not use --error or --critical when using a <= 1.0.0 borg server.
  850. Bug fixes:
  851. - fix silently skipping EIO, #748
  852. - add context manager for Repository (avoid orphan repository locks), #285
  853. - do not sleep for >60s while waiting for lock, #773
  854. - unpack file stats before passing to FUSE
  855. - fix build on illumos
  856. - don't try to backup doors or event ports (Solaris and derivates)
  857. - remove useless/misleading libc version display, #738
  858. - test suite: reset exit code of persistent archiver, #844
  859. - RemoteRepository: clean up pipe if remote open() fails
  860. - Remote: don't print tracebacks for Error exceptions handled downstream, #792
  861. - if BORG_PASSPHRASE is present but wrong, don't prompt for password, but fail
  862. instead, #791
  863. - ArchiveChecker: move "orphaned objects check skipped" to INFO log level, #826
  864. - fix capitalization, add ellipses, change log level to debug for 2 messages,
  865. #798
  866. Other changes:
  867. - update llfuse requirement, llfuse 1.0 works
  868. - update OS / dist packages on build machines, #717
  869. - prefer showing --info over -v in usage help, #859

  876. Version 1.0.0 (2016-03-05)
  877. --------------------------
  878. The major release number change (0.x -> 1.x) indicates bigger incompatible
  879. changes, please read the compatibility notes, adapt / test your scripts and
  880. check your backup logs.
  881. Compatibility notes:
  882. - drop support for python 3.2 and 3.3, require 3.4 or 3.5, #221 #65 #490
  883. note: we provide binaries that include python 3.5.1 and everything else
  884. needed. they are an option in case you are stuck with < 3.4 otherwise.
  885. - change encryption to be on by default (using "repokey" mode)
  886. - moved keyfile keys from ~/.borg/keys to ~/.config/borg/keys,
  887. you can either move them manually or run "borg upgrade <REPO>"
  888. - remove support for --encryption=passphrase,
  889. use borg migrate-to-repokey to switch to repokey mode, #97
  890. - remove deprecated --compression <number>,
  891. use --compression zlib,<number> instead
  892. in case of 0, you could also use --compression none
  893. - remove deprecated --hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly
  894. use --keep-hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly instead
  895. - remove deprecated --do-not-cross-mountpoints,
  896. use --one-file-system instead
  897. - disambiguate -p option, #563:
  898. - -p now is same as --progress
  899. - -P now is same as --prefix
  900. - remove deprecated "borg verify",
  901. use "borg extract --dry-run" instead
  902. - cleanup environment variable semantics, #355
  903. the environment variables used to be "yes sayers" when set, this was
  904. conceptually generalized to "automatic answerers" and they just give their
  905. value as answer (as if you typed in that value when being asked).
  906. See the "usage" / "Environment Variables" section of the docs for details.
  907. - change the builtin default for --chunker-params, create 2MiB chunks, #343
  908. --chunker-params new default: 19,23,21,4095 - old default: 10,23,16,4095
  909. one of the biggest issues with borg < 1.0 (and also attic) was that it had a
  910. default target chunk size of 64kiB, thus it created a lot of chunks and thus
  911. also a huge chunk management overhead (high RAM and disk usage).
  912. please note that the new default won't change the chunks that you already
  913. have in your repository. the new big chunks do not deduplicate with the old
  914. small chunks, so expect your repo to grow at least by the size of every
  915. changed file and in the worst case (e.g. if your files cache was lost / is
  916. not used) by the size of every file (minus any compression you might use).
  917. in case you want to immediately see a much lower resource usage (RAM / disk)
  918. for chunks management, it might be better to start with a new repo than
  919. continuing in the existing repo (with an existing repo, you'ld have to wait
  920. until all archives with small chunks got pruned to see a lower resource
  921. usage).
  922. if you used the old --chunker-params default value (or if you did not use
  923. --chunker-params option at all) and you'ld like to continue using small
  924. chunks (and you accept the huge resource usage that comes with that), just
  925. explicitly use borg create --chunker-params=10,23,16,4095.
  926. - archive timestamps: the 'time' timestamp now refers to archive creation
  927. start time (was: end time), the new 'time_end' timestamp refers to archive
  928. creation end time. This might affect prune if your backups take rather long.
  929. if you give a timestamp via cli this is stored into 'time', therefore it now
  930. needs to mean archive creation start time.
  931. New features:
  932. - implement password roundtrip, #695
  933. Bug fixes:
  934. - remote end does not need cache nor keys directories, do not create them, #701
  935. - added retry counter for passwords, #703

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

  993. missing stuff in py 3.2/3.3, simplify code that can be done simpler in 3.4
  994. - removed some version requirements that were kept on old versions because
  995. newer did not support py 3.2 any more
  996. - use some py 3.4+ stdlib code instead of own/openssl/pypi code:

  1016. ---------------------------
  1017. Compatibility notes:
  1018. - you may need to use -v (or --info) more often to actually see output emitted
  1019. at INFO log level (because it is suppressed at the default WARNING log level).
  1020. See the "general" section in the usage docs.
  1021. - for borg create, you need --list (additionally to -v) to see the long file
  1022. list (was needed so you can have e.g. --stats alone without the long list)
  1023. - see below about BORG_DELETE_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING (was:
  1024. BORG_CHECK_I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING)

  1039. - borg create: implement exclusions using regular expression patterns.
  1040. - borg create: implement inclusions using patterns.
  1041. - borg extract: support patterns, #361
  1042. - support different styles for patterns:
  1043. - fnmatch (`fm:` prefix, default when omitted), like borg <= 0.29.
  1044. - shell (`sh:` prefix) with `*` not matching directory separators and
  1045. `**/` matching 0..n directories
  1046. - path prefix (`pp:` prefix, for unifying borg create pp1 pp2 into the
  1047. patterns system), semantics like in borg <= 0.29
  1048. - regular expression (`re:`), new!
  1049. - --progress option for borg upgrade (#291) and borg delete <archive>

  1056. Other changes:
  1057. - hashtable size (and thus: RAM and disk consumption) follows a growth policy:
  1058. grows fast while small, grows slower when getting bigger, #527
  1059. - Vagrantfile: use pyinstaller 3.1 to build binaries, freebsd sqlite3 fix,
  1060. fixes #569
  1061. - no separate binaries for centos6 any more because the generic linux binaries
  1062. also work on centos6 (or in general: on systems with a slightly older glibc
  1063. than debian7
  1064. - dev environment: require virtualenv<14.0 so we get a py32 compatible pip
  1065. - docs:

  1080. - add gcc gcc-c++ to redhat/fedora/corora install docs, fixes #583
  1081. Version 0.29.0 (2015-12-13)
  1082. ---------------------------
  1083. Compatibility notes:
  1084. - when upgrading to 0.29.0 you need to upgrade client as well as server
  1085. installations due to the locking and commandline interface changes otherwise
  1086. you'll get an error msg about a RPC protocol mismatch or a wrong commandline
  1087. option.
  1088. if you run a server that needs to support both old and new clients, it is
  1089. suggested that you have a "borg-0.28.2" and a "borg-0.29.0" command.
  1090. clients then can choose via e.g. "borg --remote-path=borg-0.29.0 ...".
  1091. - the default waiting time for a lock changed from infinity to 1 second for a
  1092. better interactive user experience. if the repo you want to access is
  1093. currently locked, borg will now terminate after 1s with an error message.
  1094. if you have scripts that shall wait for the lock for a longer time, use
  1095. --lock-wait N (with N being the maximum wait time in seconds).
  1096. Bug fixes:
  1097. - hash table tuning (better chosen hashtable load factor 0.75 and prime initial
  1098. size of 1031 gave ~1000x speedup in some scenarios)
  1099. - avoid creation of an orphan lock for one case, #285
  1100. - --keep-tag-files: fix file mode and multiple tag files in one directory, #432
  1101. - fixes for "borg upgrade" (attic repo converter), #466
  1102. - remove --progress isatty magic (and also --no-progress option) again, #476
  1103. - borg init: display proper repo URL
  1104. - fix format of umask in help pages, #463
  1105. New features:
  1106. - implement --lock-wait, support timeout for UpgradableLock, #210
  1107. - implement borg break-lock command, #157
  1108. - include system info below traceback, #324
  1109. - sane remote logging, remote stderr, #461:
  1110. - remote log output: intercept it and log it via local logging system,
  1111. with "Remote: " prefixed to message. log remote tracebacks.
  1112. - remote stderr: output it to local stderr with "Remote: " prefixed.
  1113. - add --debug and --info (same as --verbose) to set the log level of the
  1114. builtin logging configuration (which otherwise defaults to warning), #426
  1115. note: there are few messages emitted at DEBUG level currently.
  1116. - optionally configure logging via env var BORG_LOGGING_CONF
  1117. - add --filter option for status characters: e.g. to show only the added
  1118. or modified files (and also errors), use "borg create -v --filter=AME ...".
  1119. - more progress indicators, #394
  1120. - use ISO-8601 date and time format, #375
  1121. - "borg check --prefix" to restrict archive checking to that name prefix, #206
  1122. Other changes:
  1123. - hashindex_add C implementation (speed up cache re-sync for new archives)
  1124. - increase FUSE read_size to 1024 (speed up metadata operations)
  1125. - check/delete/prune --save-space: free unused segments quickly, #239

  1340. Version 0.25.0 (2015-08-29)
  1341. ---------------------------
  1342. Compatibility notes:
  1343. - lz4 compression library (liblz4) is a new requirement (#156)
  1344. - the new compression code is very compatible: as long as you stay with zlib
  1345. compression, older borg releases will still be able to read data from a
  1346. repo/archive made with the new code (note: this is not the case for the
  1347. default "none" compression, use "zlib,0" if you want a "no compression" mode
  1348. that can be read by older borg). Also the new code is able to read repos and
  1349. archives made with older borg versions (for all zlib levels 0..9).
  1350. Deprecations:
  1351. - --compression N (with N being a number, as in 0.24) is deprecated.
  1352. We keep the --compression 0..9 for now to not break scripts, but it is
  1353. deprecated and will be removed later, so better fix your scripts now:
  1354. --compression 0 (as in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,0 (now).
  1355. BUT: if you do not want compression, you rather want --compression none
  1356. (which is the default).
  1357. --compression 1 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,1 (now)
  1358. --compression 9 (in 0.24) is the same as --compression zlib,9 (now)
  1359. New features:
  1360. - create --compression none (default, means: do not compress, just pass through
  1361. data "as is". this is more efficient than zlib level 0 as used in borg 0.24)
  1362. - create --compression lz4 (super-fast, but not very high compression)
  1363. - create --compression zlib,N (slower, higher compression, default for N is 6)
  1364. - create --compression lzma,N (slowest, highest compression, default N is 6)
  1365. - honor the nodump flag (UF_NODUMP) and do not backup such items
  1366. - list --short just outputs a simple list of the files/directories in an archive
  1367. Bug fixes:
  1368. - fixed --chunker-params parameter order confusion / malfunction, fixes #154
  1369. - close fds of segments we delete (during compaction)
  1370. - close files which fell out the lrucache
  1371. - fadvise DONTNEED now is only called for the byte range actually read, not for
  1372. the whole file, fixes #158.
  1373. - fix issue with negative "all archives" size, fixes #165
  1374. - restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162
  1375. Other changes:
  1376. - remove fakeroot requirement for tests, tests run faster without fakeroot
  1377. (test setup does not fail any more without fakeroot, so you can run with or
  1378. without fakeroot), fixes #151 and #91.
  1379. - more tests for archiver
  1380. - recover_segment(): don't assume we have an fd for segment
  1381. - lrucache refactoring / cleanup, add dispose function, py.test tests
  1382. - generalize hashindex code for any key length (less hardcoding)
  1383. - lock roster: catch file not found in remove() method and ignore it
  1384. - travis CI: use requirements file
  1385. - improved docs:
  1386. - replace hack for llfuse with proper solution (install libfuse-dev)
  1387. - update docs about compression
  1388. - update development docs about fakeroot
  1389. - internals: add some words about lock files / locking system
  1390. - support: mention BountySource and for what it can be used
  1391. - theme: use a lighter green
  1392. - add pypi, wheel, dist package based install docs
  1393. - split install docs into system-specific preparations and generic instructions
  1394. Version 0.24.0 (2015-08-09)
  1395. ---------------------------
  1396. Incompatible changes (compared to 0.23):
  1397. - borg now always issues --umask NNN option when invoking another borg via ssh
  1398. on the repository server. By that, it's making sure it uses the same umask
  1399. for remote repos as for local ones. Because of this, you must upgrade both
  1400. server and client(s) to 0.24.
  1401. - the default umask is 077 now (if you do not specify via --umask) which might
  1402. be a different one as you used previously. The default umask avoids that
  1403. you accidentally give access permissions for group and/or others to files
  1404. created by borg (e.g. the repository).
  1405. Deprecations:
  1406. - "--encryption passphrase" mode is deprecated, see #85 and #97.
  1407. See the new "--encryption repokey" mode for a replacement.
  1408. New features:
  1409. - borg create --chunker-params ... to configure the chunker, fixes #16
  1410. (attic #302, attic #300, and somehow also #41).
  1411. This can be used to reduce memory usage caused by chunk management overhead,
  1412. so borg does not create a huge chunks index/repo index and eats all your RAM
  1413. if you back up lots of data in huge files (like VM disk images).
  1414. See docs/misc/create_chunker-params.txt for more information.
  1415. - borg info now reports chunk counts in the chunk index.
  1416. - borg create --compression 0..9 to select zlib compression level, fixes #66
  1417. (attic #295).
  1418. - borg init --encryption repokey (to store the encryption key into the repo),
  1419. fixes #85
  1420. - improve at-end error logging, always log exceptions and set exit_code=1
  1421. - LoggedIO: better error checks / exceptions / exception handling
  1422. - implement --remote-path to allow non-default-path borg locations, #125
  1423. - implement --umask M and use 077 as default umask for better security, #117
  1424. - borg check: give a named single archive to it, fixes #139
  1425. - cache sync: show progress indication
  1426. - cache sync: reimplement the chunk index merging in C
  1427. Bug fixes:
  1428. - fix segfault that happened for unreadable files (chunker: n needs to be a
  1429. signed size_t), #116
  1430. - fix the repair mode, #144
  1431. - repo delete: add destroy to allowed rpc methods, fixes issue #114
  1432. - more compatible repository locking code (based on mkdir), maybe fixes #92
  1433. (attic #317, attic #201).
  1434. - better Exception msg if no Borg is installed on the remote repo server, #56
  1435. - create a RepositoryCache implementation that can cope with >2GiB,
  1436. fixes attic #326.
  1437. - fix Traceback when running check --repair, attic #232
  1438. - clarify help text, fixes #73.
  1439. - add help string for --no-files-cache, fixes #140
  1440. Other changes:
  1441. - improved docs:
  1442. - added docs/misc directory for misc. writeups that won't be included
  1443. "as is" into the html docs.
  1444. - document environment variables and return codes (attic #324, attic #52)
  1445. - web site: add related projects, fix web site url, IRC #borgbackup
  1446. - Fedora/Fedora-based install instructions added to docs
  1447. - Cygwin-based install instructions added to docs
  1448. - updated AUTHORS
  1449. - add FAQ entries about redundancy / integrity
  1450. - clarify that borg extract uses the cwd as extraction target
  1451. - update internals doc about chunker params, memory usage and compression
  1452. - added docs about development
  1453. - add some words about resource usage in general
  1454. - document how to backup a raw disk
  1455. - add note about how to run borg from virtual env
  1456. - add solutions for (ll)fuse installation problems
  1457. - document what borg check does, fixes #138
  1458. - reorganize borgbackup.github.io sidebar, prev/next at top
  1459. - deduplicate and refactor the docs / README.rst
  1460. - use borg-tmp as prefix for temporary files / directories
  1461. - short prune options without "keep-" are deprecated, do not suggest them
  1462. - improved tox configuration
  1463. - remove usage of unittest.mock, always use mock from pypi
  1464. - use entrypoints instead of scripts, for better use of the wheel format and
  1465. modern installs
  1466. - add requirements.d/development.txt and modify tox.ini
  1467. - use travis-ci for testing based on Linux and (new) OS X
  1468. - use coverage.py, pytest-cov and codecov.io for test coverage support
  1469. I forgot to list some stuff already implemented in 0.23.0, here they are:
  1470. New features:
  1471. - efficient archive list from manifest, meaning a big speedup for slow
  1472. repo connections and "list <repo>", "delete <repo>", "prune" (attic #242,
  1473. attic #167)
  1474. - big speedup for chunks cache sync (esp. for slow repo connections), fixes #18
  1475. - hashindex: improve error messages
  1476. Other changes:
  1477. - explicitly specify binary mode to open binary files
  1478. - some easy micro optimizations
  1479. Version 0.23.0 (2015-06-11)
  1480. ---------------------------
  1481. Incompatible changes (compared to attic, fork related):
  1482. - changed sw name and cli command to "borg", updated docs
  1483. - package name (and name in urls) uses "borgbackup" to have less collisions
  1484. - changed repo / cache internal magic strings from ATTIC* to BORG*,
  1485. changed cache location to .cache/borg/ - this means that it currently won't
  1486. accept attic repos (see issue #21 about improving that)
  1487. Bug fixes:
  1488. - avoid defect python-msgpack releases, fixes attic #171, fixes attic #185
  1489. - fix traceback when trying to do unsupported passphrase change, fixes attic #189
  1490. - datetime does not like the year 10.000, fixes attic #139
  1491. - fix "info" all archives stats, fixes attic #183
  1492. - fix parsing with missing microseconds, fixes attic #282

  1494. - check unpacked data from RPC for tuple type and correct length, fixes attic #127
  1495. - fix Repository._active_txn state when lock upgrade fails
  1496. - give specific path to xattr.is_enabled(), disable symlink setattr call that
  1497. always fails
  1498. - fix test setup for 32bit platforms, partial fix for attic #196
  1499. - upgraded versioneer, PEP440 compliance, fixes attic #257
  1500. New features:
  1501. - less memory usage: add global option --no-cache-files
  1502. - check --last N (only check the last N archives)
  1503. - check: sort archives in reverse time order
  1504. - rename repo::oldname newname (rename repository)
  1505. - create -v output more informative
  1506. - create --progress (backup progress indicator)
  1507. - create --timestamp (utc string or reference file/dir)
