Leo R. Lundgren 676d5d498c doc: Update forget security considerations and thread model 2022-03-23 23:12:19 +01:00
Luc Gommans 9c1d49e312 Document "forget" security considerations and add references
Removing data based on a policy when the attacker had the opportunity to
add data to your repository comes with some considerations. This is
added to the 060_forget.rst documentation.

That document is also updated to reflect that restic now considers
the current system time while running "forget".

References to the security considerations section are added:
- In `restic forget --help`
- In the threat model (design.rst)
- In the (030) setup section where an append-only setup is referenced

A reference is also to be added to the `rest-server` readme's
append-only paragraph (see my fork).

This commit also resolves a typo (amount->number for countable noun),
changes a password length recommendation into the metric that
actually matters when creating passwords (entropy) since I was editing
these doc files anyway, and updates the outdated copyright year in
`conf.py`.

Some wording in 060_forget (line 21..22) was changed to clarify what
"forget" and "prune" do, to try and avoid the apparent misconception
that "forget" does not remove any data.

Vincent Bernat 2ee07ded2b filter: ability to use negative patterns
This is quite similar to gitignore. If a pattern is suffixed by an
exclamation mark and match a file that was previously matched by a
regular pattern, the match is cancelled. Notably, this can be used
with `--exclude-file` to cancel the exclusion of some files.

Like for gitignore, once a directory is excluded, it is not possible
to include files inside the directory. For example, a user wanting to
only keep `*.c` in some directory should not use:

    ~/work
    !~/work/*.c

But:

    ~/work/*
    !~/work/*.c

I didn't write documentation or changelog entry. I would like to get
feedback if this is the right approach for excluding/including files
at will for backups. I use something like this as an exclude file to
backup my home:

    $HOME/**/*
    !$HOME/Documents
    !$HOME/code
    !$HOME/.emacs.d
    !$HOME/games
    # [...]
    node_modules
    *~
    *.o
    *.lo
    *.pyc
    # [...]
    $HOME/code/linux/*
    !$HOME/code/linux/.git
    # [...]

There are some limitations for this change:

 - Patterns are not mixed accross methods: patterns from file are
   handled first and if a file is excluded with this method, it's not
   possible to reinclude it with `--exclude !something`.

 - Patterns starting with `!` are now interpreted as a negative
   pattern. I don't think anyone was relying on that.

 - The whole list of patterns is walked for each match. We may
   optimize later by exiting early if we know no pattern is starting
   with `!`.

Changed URL for key-file

more stable than relying on public keyservers. So I changed the URL to the
GPG keyfile, as recommended by MichaelEischer.

Ryan Hitchman 77bf148460 backup: add --dry-run/-n flag to show what would happen.
This can be used to check how large a backup is or validate exclusions.
It does not actually write any data to the underlying backend. This is
implemented as a simple overlay backend that accepts writes without
forwarding them, passes through reads, and generally does the minimal
necessary to pretend that progress is actually happening.

Fixes #1542

Example usage:

$ restic -vv --dry-run . | grep add

Wouter Horlings 9ccdba9df6 Add repositoryFile2 option
The `init` and `copy` commands can now use `--repository-file2` flag and
the `$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable.

This also fixes the conflict with the `--repository-file` and `--repo2`
flag.

Tests are added for the initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.

This adds a NOK function to the test helper functions. This NOK tests if
err is not nil, and otherwise fail the test.

With the NOK function a couple of sad paths are tested in the
initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.

In total the tests checks wether the following are passed correct:
   - Password
   - PasswordFile
   - Repo
   - RepositoryFile

The following situation must return an error to pass the test:
   - no Repo or RepositoryFile defined
   - Repo and RepositoryFile defined both

Add PGP fingerprint to 020_installation.rst
I like the idea of verifying the integrity of applications, I download from the internet. So I was very happy to see that restic does provide SHA256-checksums which are signed with the maintainers PGP key.

The only thing I miss: I could not find a direct way to download the used PGP key and verify the keys fingerprint.

Doing some searches, I found:
* https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/121
* https://restic.net/blog/2015-09-16/verifying-code-archive-integrity/

To help other restic users, I think you should add information about your PGP key/fingerprint to this installation doc, too. To save you some precious time, I created a draft, how this doc might be expanded, in this pull-request. You are free to accept it or change the text to your liking.

I copied the key/fingerprint text from: ``restic/restic/master/doc/090_participating.rst``

Thank you for your work in restic!

Alexander Neumann c1a3de4a6e Refactor max-unused calculation, add `unlimited` option
Add a callback to the PruneOptions struct which calculates the number of
bytes allowed to be unused after prune is done. This way, the logic is
closer to the option parsing code.

Also, add an explicit option `unlimited` for the use case when storage
does not matter but bandwidth and time do. Internally, this sets the
maximum number of unused bytes to MaxUint64.

Rework the documentation slightly so that no more "packs" are
mentioned and it talks about "files" instead.

Make it clear in the documentation that the percentage given to
`--max-unused` is relative to the whole repository size after pruning is
done. If specified, it must be below 100%, otherwise the repository
would contain 100% of unused data, which is pointless.

I had a hard time coming up with the correct formula to calculate the
maximum number of unused bytes based on the number of used bytes. For a
fraction `p` (0 ≤ p < 1), a repo with `u` bytes used, and the number of
unused bytes `x` the following holds:

      x ≤ p * (u+x)
    ⇔ x ≤ p*u + p*x
    ⇔ x - p*x ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x * (1-p) ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x ≤ p/(1-p) * u

greatroar ae179ee63e Systematize documentation of environment variables
Cache locations were documented inconsistently in three places.

The backup docs mentioned PATH being used to find fusermount, which is
never run by restic backup. It now mentions ssh and rclone, which are
used by backends.

The notion of a "system-wide" environment variable makes no sense.
TMPDIR is now mentioned because it allows for optimization and may
have security implications.

Jason Cox 2447f3f110 Update usage strings to put flags before args
The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.

Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).

David Sommer 5729d967f5 backup: Return exit status code 3 when failing to read source data
The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot
could be created successfully, even if some of the source files could not
be read (in which case the snapshot would contain the rest of the files).

This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete
backups by looking at the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit
codes for the backup command:

 - 0 when the command was successful
 - 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created)
 - 3 when some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)

Michael Eischer f1b4d97945 doc: Warn about compatibility issues with CIFS and restic
On Linux CIFS (SMB) seems to be incompatible with the async preemption
implementation of Go 1.14. CIFS seems not to restart syscalls (open,
read, chmod, readdir, ...) as expected by Go, which sets SA_RESTART for
its signal handler to have syscalls restarted automatically. This leads
to Go passing up lots of EINTR return codes to restic.

See https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2659 for a detailed explanation.

Jack Henschel ecd7ee85e8 Mention Cache Directoy Tagging Standard in man page and help text
This patch makes it more explicit what is meant by the CACHEDIR.TAG file.
It not only has to have this particular name, but also a specific content
(described at http://bford.info/cachedir/spec.html), which is not immediately
obvious to the user.
