[Unreleased]

Added

• resticw wrapper for working with different profiles without the need to source the profiles first.
• $make install will now make a timestamped backup of any existing /etc/restic/* files before installing a newer version.

Changed

• 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 than make 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 /sbin to have a simpler interface to work with $PREFIX.

Fixed

• 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.

[4.0.0] - 2022-02-01

Fixed

• 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

[3.0.1] - 2022-02-01

Fixed

• Environment variable assertion should allow empty values e.g. RESTIC_BACKUP_EXTRA_ARGS

[3.0.0] - 2022-02-01

Added

• 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.

Changed

• 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).

[2.0.0] - 2022-02-01

Changed

• 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 and default.env (the default profile). _global.env will have B2 accountID and accountKey and default.env has backup paths, and retention.
  • b2_pw.sh renamed to pw.txt

Fixed

• 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.

[1.0.1] - 2021-12-03

Fixed

• $(make install) now works for the *.template files (#40)

[1.0.0] - 2021-12-02

It's time to call this a proper major version!

Added

• uninstall target for Makefile
• Add --prune to restic-forget
• README badges and updates.

Fixed

• backup_exclude destination
• Conflicts for restic-check service

[0.1.0] - 2019-07-23

• First tagged version to allow Arch's AUR to download a tarball archive to install.
