+*Upgrade Warning - Future Breaking Change*
+This release deprecates the following `secrets.ps1` variables:
+* `$PSEmailServer` is replaced by `$ResticEmailServer`
+* `$ResticEmailConfig` is replaced by `$ResticEmailPort`
+In the next release, `$ResticEmailServer` and `$ResticEmailPort` will be required. This release will still work if the deprecated variables are defined.
+

+[Full Changelog](https://github.com/kmwoley/restic-windows-backup/compare/1.5...1.6)
+
+Separated backup and maintenance execution loops, including sending separate emails for backup and maintenance reports. This allows for a maintenance failure not to cause a backup to be re-run, and vice-versa. This makes failures take a shorter time to resolve.	
+
+Logfiles now are formated as `*.backup.log.txt` and `*.maintenance.log.txt`
+
+## Fixes
+- Fixed issue #60, removing duplicate exclude lines
+- Fixed several errors where functions would return incorrect success/failure results due to PowerShell's return value semantics
+
+## Enhancements
+- Updated installer to download v 0.15.0
+- Installer will 'self-update' the Restic binary
+- Maintenance will 'self-update' the Restic binary
+- Added a configuration point for extra / additional parameters to be passed to the backup command (`$AdditionalBackupParameters`)

 ## Enhancements
 - External, removable disk drives (i.e. USB hard drives) can be identified by their Volume Label, Serial Number, or Device Name. For example, if you have an external device with the Volume Label "MY BOOK", you can define a backup source as `$BackupSources["MY BOOK"]`. I would recommend using the device serial number to identify external drives to backup, which you can find using the Powershell `get-disk` command.
 - Add the ability to $IgnoreMissingBackupSources. To make sure that errors are not thrown if the device is not present, there is now an option to ignore error reporting when a folder and entire backup source are missing. When `$true`, missing external drives or folders don't produce errors. When `$null` or `$false`, missing drives and/or folders result in an error. The default is set to `$false` as not to silently fail backing up a source.
- Updated install script to download Restic 12.1

+## Backup over SFTP
+
+You can use any restic repository type you like pretty easily. SFTP on Windows, however, can be particularly tricky given that these scripts execute as the SYSTEM user and need to have access to the .ssh keys. Here are some steps and tips to getting it working.
+
+1. Install as above. Your repository should be created properly. Tasked backups will fail for now though. This is because the `install.ps1` file is executed with your user, whereas the tasked backup will run as SYSTEM, which does not have any ssh config yet.
+1. Open Task Scheduler and make sure the restic task is not running anymore by checking the active tasks
+1. Edit `config.ps1` and turn off the internet connection test: `$InternetTestAttempts = 0` as the test does not recognize sftp addresses correctly
+1. Copy the .ssh directory content from `%USERPROFILE%\.ssh` to `%WINDIR%\System32\config\systemprofile\.ssh` (This is the ssh config the SYSTEM account uses)
+1. If you use a private key to access the sftp services it also needs to be in this directory. ssh checks the permissions though, so they need to be changed as well:
+	1. *Right click your key > Properties > Security > Advanced*
+		1. Change the owner to SYSTEM
+		1. *Disable inheritance* and keep the permissions
+		1. Remove all principals except SYSTEM and the Administrators group 
+
+This should get you up and running. If not, download [PsExec](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec), start a powershell as admin user and run `.\PsExec.exe -s -i powershell.exe`. In this shell you will be the system user and you can try things out. See what `ssh user@server` says or try `cd C:\restic\; . .\config.ps1; . .\secrets.ps1; & $ResticExe check` (If you get lock errors, remember to check the Task Scheduler for any running restic instances in the background)

Daniel Harding	7609b8147a	Limit snapshot pruning to the current host (#94 ) * Limit snapshot pruning to the current host Address #70 by only pruning snapshots from the current host by default when performing maintenance. This avoids inadvertently pruning snapshots from other hosts when that might not be desired. * add back 'host' to group-by I think it's safer to keep `--group-by 'host,tags'` even if the `--host` parameter is provided. This makes sure that the `forget` always groups together snapshots from the same host. It may be unneeded. --------- Co-authored-by: Kevin Woley <kmwoley@users.noreply.github.com>	2024-11-10 15:41:26 -08:00
