borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.8

Published by witten over 1 year ago

#620: With the "create" action and the "--list" ("--files") flag, only show excluded files at
verbosity 2.
#621: Add optional authentication to the ntfy monitoring hook.
With the "create" action, only one of "--list" ("--files") and "--progress" flags can be used.
This lines up with the new behavior in Borg 2.0.0b5.
Internally support new Borg 2.0.0b5 "--filter" status characters / item flags for the "create"
action.
Fix the "create" action with the "--dry-run" flag querying for databases when a PostgreSQL/MySQL
"all" database is configured. Now, these queries are skipped due to the dry run.
Add "--repository" flag to the "rcreate" action to optionally select one configured repository to
create.
Add "--progress" flag to the "transfer" action, new in Borg 2.0.0b5.
Add "checkpoint_volume" configuration option to creates checkpoints every specified number of
bytes during a long-running backup, new in Borg 2.0.0b5.

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.7

Published by witten over 1 year ago

#642: Add MySQL database hook "add_drop_database" configuration option to control whether dumped
MySQL databases get dropped right before restore.
#643: Fix for potential data loss (data not getting backed up) when dumping large "directory"
format PostgreSQL/MongoDB databases. Prior to the fix, these dumps would not finish writing to
disk before Borg consumed them. Now, the dumping process completes before Borg starts. This only
applies to "directory" format databases; other formats still stream to Borg without using
temporary disk space.
Fix MongoDB "directory" format to work with mongodump/mongorestore without error. Prior to this
fix, only the "archive" format worked.

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.6

Published by witten over 1 year ago

#393, #438, #560: Optionally dump "all" PostgreSQL/MySQL databases to separate files instead of one
combined dump file, allowing more convenient restores of individual databases. You can enable
this by specifying the database dump "format" option when the database is named "all".
#602: Fix logs that interfere with JSON output by making warnings go to stderr instead of stdout.
#622: Fix traceback when include merging configuration files on ARM64.
#629: Skip warning about excluded special files when no special files have been excluded.
#630: Add configuration options for database command customization: "list_options",
"restore_options", and "analyze_options" for PostgreSQL, "restore_options" for MySQL, and
"restore_options" for MongoDB.

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.5

Published by witten almost 2 years ago

#311: Override PostgreSQL dump/restore commands via configuration options.
#604: Fix traceback when a configuration section is present but lacking any options.
#607: Clarify documentation examples for include merging and deep merging.
#611: Fix "data" consistency check to support "check_last" and consistency "prefix" options.
#613: Clarify documentation about multiple repositories and separate configuration files.

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.4

Published by witten about 2 years ago

#596: Fix special file detection erroring when broken symlinks are encountered.
#597, #598: Fix regression in which "check" action errored on certain systems ("Cannot determine
Borg repository ID").

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.3

Published by witten about 2 years ago

#357: Add "break-lock" action for removing any repository and cache locks leftover from Borg
aborting.
#360: To prevent Borg hangs, unconditionally delete stale named pipes before dumping databases.
#587: When database hooks are enabled, auto-exclude special files from a "create" action to
prevent Borg from hanging. You can override/prevent this behavior by explicitly setting the
"read_special" option to true.
#587: Warn when ignoring a configured "read_special" value of false, as true is needed when
database hooks are enabled.
#589: Update sample systemd service file to allow system "idle" (e.g. a video monitor turning
off) while borgmatic is running.
#590: Fix for potential data loss (data not getting backed up) when the "patterns_from" option
was used with "source_directories" (or the "~/.borgmatic" path existed, which got injected into
"source_directories" implicitly). The fix is for borgmatic to convert "source_directories" into
patterns whenever "patterns_from" is used, working around a Borg bug:
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/6994
#590: In "borgmatic create --list" output, display which files get excluded from the backup due
to patterns or excludes.
#591: Add support for Borg 2's "--match-archives" flag. This replaces "--glob-archives", which
borgmatic now treats as an alias for "--match-archives". But note that the two flags have
slightly different syntax. See the Borg 2 changelog for more information:
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.0b3/changes.html#version-2-0-0b3-2022-10-02
Fix for "borgmatic --archive latest" not finding the latest archive when a verbosity is set.

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.2

Published by witten about 2 years ago

#577: Fix regression in which "borgmatic info --archive ..." showed repository info instead of
archive info with Borg 1.
#582: Fix hang when database hooks are enabled and "patterns" contains a parent directory of
"~/.borgmatic".

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.1

Published by witten about 2 years ago

#542: Make the "source_directories" option optional. This is useful for "check"-only setups or
using "patterns" exclusively.
#574: Fix for potential data loss (data not getting backed up) when the "patterns" option was
used with "source_directories" (or the "~/.borgmatic" path existed, which got injected into
"source_directories" implicitly). The fix is for borgmatic to convert "source_directories" into
patterns whenever "patterns" is used, working around a potential Borg bug:

borgmatic - borgmatic 1.7.0

Published by witten about 2 years ago

#463: Add "before_actions" and "after_actions" command hooks that run before/after all the
actions for each repository. These new hooks are a good place to run per-repository steps like
mounting/unmounting a remote filesystem.
#463: Update documentation to cover per-repository configurations:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-per-application-backups/
#557: Support for Borg 2 while still working with Borg 1. This includes new borgmatic actions
like "rcreate" (replaces "init"), "rlist" (list archives in repository), "rinfo" (show repository
info), and "transfer" (for upgrading Borg repositories). For the most part, borgmatic tries to
smooth over differences between Borg 1 and 2 to make your upgrade process easier. However, there
are still a few cases where Borg made breaking changes. See the Borg 2.0 changelog for more
information: https://www.borgbackup.org/releases/borg-2.0.html
#557: If you install Borg 2, you'll need to manually upgrade your existing Borg 1 repositories
before use. Note that Borg 2 stable is not yet released as of this borgmatic release, so don't
use Borg 2 for production until it is! See the documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/upgrade/#upgrading-borg
#557: Rename several configuration options to match Borg 2: "remote_rate_limit" is now
"upload_rate_limit", "numeric_owner" is "numeric_ids", and "bsd_flags" is "flags". borgmatic
still works with the old options.
#557: Remote repository paths without the "ssh://" syntax are deprecated but still supported for
now. Remote repository paths containing "~" are deprecated in borgmatic and no longer work in
Borg 2.
#557: Omitting the "--archive" flag on the "list" action is deprecated when using Borg 2. Use
the new "rlist" action instead.
#557: The "--dry-run" flag can now be used with the "rcreate"/"init" action.
#565: Fix handling of "repository" and "data" consistency checks to prevent invalid Borg flags.
#566: Modify "mount" and "extract" actions to require the "--repository" flag when multiple
repositories are configured.
#571: BREAKING: Remove old-style command-line action flags like "--create, "--list", etc. If
you're already using actions like "create" and "list" instead, this change should not affect you.
#571: BREAKING: Rename "--files" flag on "prune" action to "--list", as it lists archives, not
files.
#571: Add "--list" as alias for "--files" flag on "create" and "export-tar" actions.
Add support for disabling TLS verification in Healthchecks monitoring hook with "verify_tls"
option.
