- Support saving hourly snapshots. #98
- Full path to
/bin/bash
in sytemd services. #96
- Backup stats notifications: fix issue where
restic snapshots --latest 2
will show more than two snapshots due to different backup paths used.
- Trying to fix broken Homebrew bottles due to GitHub API issues.
- Trying to fix broken Homebrew bottles
resticw
is now a true wrapper in that it support--
args to restic.- OnFailure no longer masked by the stderr redirect to systemd-cat. #86
- optional user-controlled notification. See
RESTIC_NOTIFY_BACKUP_STATS
and inbackup.sh
.
- restic-check LaunchAgent.
- README.md is restructured with easier TL;DR for each OS and a more general detailed section for the interested.
- Minimize base install. The following features are now opt-in: nm-unmetered detection, cron_mail, systemd-email.
- Renamed project from
restic-systemd-automatic-backup
torestic-automatic-backup-scheduler
to fit all now supported setups.
- Windows support with native ScheduledTask! New target
$ make install-schedtask
for Windows users.
- Launchagentdir make macro
- Allow custom launchagent dir, used by Homebrew.
- Homebrew Formula at erikw/homebrew-tap. You can now install with
$ brew install erikw/tap/restic-automatic-backup-scheduler
!
- Use default profile in LaunchAgent.
- Make option to override destination dir for configuration files. Needed for Homebrew.
- Write permissions on installed scripts removed (0755 -> 0555). Homebrew was complaining.
- macos LaunchAgent support. Install with
make install-launchagent
and activate withmake activate-launchagent
. See README.md for details. - make option INSTALL_PREFIX to make PKGBUILD and such easier to write.
resticw
wrapper for working with different profiles without the need to source the profiles first.$ make install-systemd
will now make a timestamped backup of any existing/etc/restic/*
files before installing a newer version.$ make install-cron
for installing the cron-job.
- BREAKING CHANGE moved systemd installation with makefile from
/etc/systemd/system
to/usr/lib/systemd/system
as this is what packages should do. This is to be able to simplify the arch PKGBUILD so that it does not need to do anything else thanmake install
.- If you upgrade form an existing install, you should disable and then re-enable the timer, so that the symlink is pointing to the new location of the timer.
# systemctl disable restic-backup@<profile>.timer # systemctl enable restic-backup@<profile>.timer
- BREAKING CHANGE moved script installation with makefile from
/usr/local/sbin
to/bin
to have a simpler interface to work with$PREFIX
. - BREAKING CHANGE renamed
etc/restic/*.env
files toetc/restic/*.env.sh
to clearly communicate that it's a shell script that will be executed (source), and also hint at code editors what file this is to set corect syntax highligting etc. This also enables the shellcheck linter to work more easily on these files as well. - Renamed top level make install targets. The old
$ make install
is now$ make install-systemd
- Installation with custom
PREFIX
now works properly with Make:$ PREFIX=/usr/local make install
whill now install everything at the expected location. With this, it's easy to use this script as non-root user on e.g. an macOS system.
- Use arrays to build up command lines. When fixing
shellcheck(1)
errors, quotes would disable expansion on e.g. $RESTIC_BACKUP_PATHS- BREAKING CHANGE
RESTIC_BACKUP_PATHS
is now a string with:
separated values
- BREAKING CHANGE
- Environment variable assertion should allow empty values e.g.
RESTIC_BACKUP_EXTRA_ARGS
- Allow extra arguments to restic-backup with
$RESTIC_BACKUP_EXTRA_ARGS
. - Add
$RESTIC_VERBOSITY_LEVEL
for debugging. - Assertion on all needed environment variables in the backup and check scripts.
- Added linter (
shellcheck(1)
) that is run on push and PRs.
- BREAKING CHANGE renamed
/etc/restic/backup_exclude
to/etc/restic/backup_exclude.txt
<backup-dest>/.backup_exclude
to<backup-dest>/.backup_exclude.txt
.
- BREAKING CHANGE renamed envvars for consistency
BACKUP_PATHS
->RESTIC_BACKUP_PATHS
BACKUP_TAG
->RESTIC_BACKUP_TAG
RETENTION_DAYS
->RESTIC_RETENTION_DAYS
RETENTION_WEEKS
->RESTIC_RETENTION_WEEKS
RETENTION_MONTHS
->RESTIC_RETENTION_MONTHS
RETENTION_YEARS
->RESTIC_RETENTION_YEARS
- Align terminology used in README with the one used by B2 for credentials (keyId + applicationKey pair).
- BREAKING CHANGE #45: multiple backup profiles are now supported. Please backup your configuration before upgrading. The setup of configuration files are now laied out differently. See the README.md TL;DR setup section.
restic_backup.sh
has had variables extracted to profiles instead, to allow for configuration of different backups on the same system.b2_env.sh
is split to two files_global.env
anddefault.env
(the default profile)._global.env
will have B2 accountID and accountKey anddefault.env
has backup paths, and retention.b2_pw.sh
renamed to pw.txt
restic_backup.sh
now finds.backup_exclude
files on each backup path as intended.- Install executeables to
$PREFIX/sbin
instead of$PREFIX/user/local/sbin
, so that$ PREFIX=/usr/local make install
does what is expected.
- $(make install) now works for the *.template files (#40)
It's time to call this a proper major version!
