This PR fixes a bug where a script could write a new filter, but the filter was never applied to the backup.
This also fixes an issue where the filter string was not available in scripts or emails, except on the initial call.
This PR updates the logic so the `run-script-after` and `run-script-post-backup` also have access to the filter string, if needed for reporting or other.
This fixes#5143
This PR implements support for reading and writing alternate data streams on Windows.
For now, the option is disabled by default and needs to be enabled with `--enable-ads-backup`. After this option is set, Duplicati will also extract any alternate datastreams from the filesystem and include them in the backup.
By default, ADS elements will be restored, but `--disable-ads-restore` can be used to ignore any ADS elements during the restore process.
This fixes#189
This fixes a locked database issue on Windows.
The issue was caused by the backup process having an open database, and then not passing that connection to the lock handler.
The lock handler would then attempt to open a new connection to the same database, which would fail.
This PR fixes the issue by passing an instance of the database to the lock handler.
Also addressed a logic issue where the dbpath was checked, even if an existing database connection was found.
Also fixed the lock results not setting the EndTime property, causing the reported lelapsed time to be off.
This PR has a large blast radius because it takes the final step and bumps up the Controller to be fully async.
We have historically done a piece-by-piece update, so all operations were already async but the controller interface was kept synchronous.
With this update, the controller is now fully async and all tests are updated.
Most places where the new C# compiler warns about function names not ending in `Async` were also adressed, giving a massive refactor change.
Functionally, no changes are done.
This PR adds a new `--run-script-post-backup` option that allows running a script after the main backup operation has completed, but before locking, compacting and verification is done.
The use for this is intended for cases where you want to stop or pause some service, run a backup, and then resume the service. Prior to this PR you would need to wait for the entire backup operation to complete, but with the new option you can resume as soon as the source data is no longer needed.
This PR adds guards to prevent creating filesets with multiple files that have the same path.
While it should technically be impossible to have multiple entries that have the same path, it could happend either due to glitches or because the source data (manual lists, remote sources, etc) returns duplicates.
This PR adds a simple check for each folder to ensure that on a folder-level, duplicate paths cannot be introduced.
There is also a post-backup check to evict any duplicates, and the recreate process will reject duplicate paths.
Finally, the repair command will remove duplicates if they somehow manage to get into the database anyway.
A database-level prevention is not currently feasible as it needs a cross-table check for uniqueness, which requires more work from the database to check for each added file. Since this is expected to be a very rare event, the added processing was not justified.
- Added Cloudflare to list of known S3 provider domains.
- Removed AWS specific naming on the help texts.
- Fixed an edge case where calculating how many files to test with an empty list would crash
- Fixed a bug with getting a safe display url for very short urls
Renamed the options to be more descriptive.
Rewrote the dependency query to be more readable and also check for metadata dependency.
Fixed an edge case where there were no modified files, and no new backup is created.
Fixed some issues with local/utc datetime compares.
Fixed logic for deleting filesets to only look at the filesets themselves. This makes the version lock follow the dlist file, and can create "dangling" volumes that have no filesets, but these will be picked up by compaction.
Updated tests to work correctly.
Added lock-info update option for the backup recreate call, so the UI can also re-create lock information on database rebuilds.
This PR adds support for locking files if the backend supports it.
To activate locking, set the option `--file-lock-duration=30D` and the backup will lock the files.
If the database is rebuilt with the intention of continuing the backups, use the option `--repair-refresh-lock-info` which will update lock information in the database after recreating the database.
The locking works by asking the backend to lock files after a backup has completed.
The implementation keeps track of which files are currently assigned a lock and prevents attempting to delete the files that are currently locked.
Note that the bucket should not have a default lock policy as Duplicati needs to finish the backup before the locking is applied.
In this initial version, Azure Blob Storage, B2, S3 and iDrive are supported with locking.
The CLI is updated to allow setting locks on a specific version. The backend tool is updated to allow setting locks on specific files.
This PR adds detection of exclusion attributes on files and folders. If a file or folder has an exclusion extended attribute, the file or folder is excluded from the backup.
The option `--disable-backup-exclusion-xattr` can be used to revert to the previous behavior where the xattrs were not checked.
This has the biggest impact on MacOS where it will not perform like other backup software and avoid files that are marked as excluded from backup.
This fixes#6393
This PR adds detection of the MacOS Photos folder, and intercepts reads and replaces them with PhotoKit calls.
With this, it is possible to make backups of all MacOS Photos, even if they are not stored locally.
The previous versions would just make a backup of the on-disk structure, which was not guaranteed to contain all photos, but instead has various indexing for finding photos, and may contain some original photos.
The option `--photos-handling` controls how Duplicati now deals with the Photos folder. The options are:
- `LibraryOnly`: Same as before, just treat it as a folder
- `PhotosOnly`: Ignore the folder contents and just back up the actual photos
- `PhotosAndLibrary` (default): Make a backup of the photos and the library on-disk. This may cause images to be stored twice, but de-duplication will usually limit the storage increase.
The option `--photos-library-path` can be used to point to the on-disk Photo library that should be handled, in case the auto-detection does not pick it up. If this does not point to a valid Photoslibrary, or the path is not being backed up, no special handling will be done.
Note that the restore is not restoring into Photos itself, but instead restores into a sub-folder in the Photolibrary that is called `dup_backup`. To get the photos out after a restore, one needs to right-click the Photolibrary folder, and choose "Show package contents" and then the `dup_backup` folder is revealed.
This is done to keep all photos in the same folder, but avoid messing with the structure of the on-disk Photolibrary.
A future update could allow restoring back into Photos, and metadata is captured for each image to eventually allow this.
This fixes#6381
This updates VSS to default use Vanara in favor of AlphaVSS which is no longer maintained.
The build for Vanara requires targeting `net8.0-windows7.0`, which will cause significant build overhead and complexity for cross platform builds.
To counter this, the setup is to have a single project, `Duplicati.Library.WindowsModules`, that is targeting `net8.0-windows7.0`.
The output from this project is then hoisted into the TrayIcon project for Windows builds so the files are available when debugging on Windows.
A top-level dummy executable project is added to ensure the project always builds.
The built modules are then loaded with reflection when requested.
With the use of Vanara there is now also support for using BackupRead to read files without making a VSS snapshot.
With BackupRead, it is possible to read locked files, but it still requires the SeBackupPrivilege as VSS does as well.
Unfortunately, the `vssapi.dll` file is not shipped for Arm64 on Windows, so even with Vanara this will not work, and only WMIC is supported on Arm64.
A workaround is to run Duplicati with x64 emulation if more advanced VSS features are needed (HyperV and MSSQL support).
This PR also updates options and filters out unsupported options for each operating system, so options that are not supported by the current OS are not reported and will give warnings if they are used, as opposed to just being ignored.
The release builder project has been updated to exclude the unused project, and purge unwanted outputs.
This PR adds the ability to subscribe to messages over a websocket.
To prevent polling data, the server can now push messages through the websocket, so the client can instantly update when new data is available.
The change is backwards compatible, still serving the status updates over the socket. If the client is providing the authentication token, it is auto-subscried to the legacy status message.
If the client is using the new authentication message, it needs to subscribe to get the status updates (and any other services it needs).
The event system has been extended to support new, and more accurate, events. This is the first step towards removing the general status update and the long-poll mechanism.
This also re-introduces the blocking marker, so the client can know if the operation is halted due to too many pending transfers.
Some endpoints have been moved to service implementations, to allow serving the exact same data from both endpoints and websocket.
This PR also updates the way the progress is handled, so that all transfers are returned to the client, and the transfer speeds for each transfer is calculated based on a small sample buffer, so the values are more accurate even if the program is paused during transfers.
The code was using a two-way reference linking the database to the results and the results to the database.
However, this was not really used so it ended up just cluttering the code. With this commit, the results and databases are no longer keeping track of each other, and the only interaction is when the results are written to the database at the end of the operation.
To ensure result data is always written, this code has been moved into the controller, which will now flush the results for all operations. Prior to this, only some operations would write result data to the log.
The controller now also handles logic for cleaning old log data and invoking the vacuum command.
Fixed a bug due to using System.Text.Json where some attributes from NewtonSoft.Json were being applied and not picked up.
Rewrote all operation handlers to be async.
This moves the async/sync threshold out into the controller.
Fixed all the uses of cancellation token in the handlers to use the provided cancellation token.
Introduced a new ReusableTransaction that can be passed around, avoiding a ref parameter passing of the transaction instance.
