I am very happy to announce rustic 0.5.0!

This release not only includes a lot of new features but also builds the groundwork for future extensions. Windows support has been experimental added and will get seasoned in the next releases. Moreover, a rework of the archiver implementation will allow to use other backup sources than local dirs in future.

Changes in version 0.5.0:

Breaking changes:

  • Repository options in the config file can no longer be given under the [global] section. Use [repository] instead.
  • Backing up multiple sources on the command line now results in one instead of several snapshots.

Bugs fixed:

  • restore command did not restore empty files. This is fixed.
  • config command did save the config file compressed which violates the repo design. This is fixed.
  • rustic did panic when files with missing content field are stored in a tree. This is fixed.

New features:

  • Experimental windows support has been added.
  • New option --filter-fn allows to implement your own snapshot filter using the Rhai language.
  • New command dump has been added.
  • New command merge has been added.
  • Support for extended file attributes has been added.
  • REST/Rclone backend: Allow to set the request timeout.
  • Extra or wrong fields in the config file now lead to rustic complaining and aborting.
  • New option --no-progress has been added.
  • Option --progress-interval can now also be given as command argument and in the config file.
  • backup: Paths are now sanitized from command arguments and config file before matching and applying the configuration.
  • restore: Add --no-ownership option
  • check --read-data: progress bar now also shows total bytes to check and ETA.
  • The archiver implementation has been reworked. This will allow more backup sources in future.
  • Updated to Rust 1.68 and many dependency updates
