restic/restic

Restic is a secure, command-line backup tool that creates deduplicated, encrypted snapshots of files and directories across a wide variety of storage backends, including local filesystems, S3, Azure, GCS, and SFTP. The system provides comprehensive repository management capabilities, allowing users to backup, restore, copy, and prune data, while also offering advanced features like dry-run previews, compression, and integrity checking. It supports multiple cloud providers and remote protocols, ensuring flexible and reliable data protection workflows.

This period focused on restructuring the codebase's internal architecture, particularly the backend interface and CLI command handling, to improve modularity and error management. It also introduced support for multiple cloud storage providers, including Azure, Google Cloud, and Backblaze B2, alongside comprehensive testing and documentation updates.

32 changes

This period focused on expanding the application's capabilities by introducing new commands like `diff` and `self-update`, while integrating external storage support via rclone. Concurrently, the codebase underwent significant internal refactoring, extracting core logic into dedicated packages for restoration, tree walking, and terminal status management to improve maintainability and performance.

26 changes

This period focused on refining the backend architecture by introducing concurrency limits, rate limiting, and a local cache to improve performance and reliability. The team also standardized the user interface for progress reporting and implemented a feature flag system to manage new capabilities like dry-run modes and JSON output across various commands.

29 changes

This period focused on consolidating the codebase by centralizing global options, backend registries, and cryptographic operations into dedicated internal packages. Concurrently, the project released versions 0.18.0 and 0.19.1, which introduced features like JSON output and SLSA provenance while addressing numerous bugs and regressions across backup, restore, and mount commands.
