List required volumes when called with 'restore --dry-run'
See merge request duplicity/
* List required volumes when called with 'restore --dry-run' [Matthias Blankertz]
When restoring in dry-run mode, and with the manifest available, list
the volumes that would be gotten from the backend when actually
performing the operation.
This is intended to aid users of e.g. the S3 backend with (deep) glacier
storage, allowing the following workflow to recover files, optionally at
a certain time, from a long-term archive:
1. duplicity restore --dry-run [--file-to-restore <file/dir>] [--time <time>] boto3+s3://...
2. Start a Glacier restore process for all the listed volumes
3. duplicity restore [--file-to-restore <file/dir>] [--time <time>] boto3+s3://...

Duplicity 0.8.14 Released

New in v0.8.15 (2020/07/27)
-------
* Fix bug #1887689 with patch from Matthew Barry
- Cleanup with Paramiko backend does not remove files due to missing
filename byte decoding
* Fix bug #1211481 with merge from Raffaele Di Campli
- Ignores the uid/gid from the archive and keeps the current user's one.
- Recommended for restoring data to mounted filesystem which do not
support Unix ownership or when root privileges are not available.

- This commit introduces the new commandline options --s3-region-name, --s3-endpoint-url
to specify these parameters. This allows using s3 compatible providers like Scaleway
or OVH.
- It is probably useful for Amazon accounts, too, to have more fine grained influence
on the region to use.
Duplicity 0.8.14 Released
Written for Duplicity by Kenneth Loafman on 2020-07-04
New in v0.8.14 (2020/07/04)
-------
* Fixes for rclonebackend from Francesco Magno (original author)
- copy command has been replaced with copyto, that is a specialized
version for single file operation. Performance-wise, we don't have
to include a single file in the local side directory, and we don't
have to list all the files in the remote to check what to syncronize.
Additionally, we don't have to mess up with renaming because the
copy command didn't support changing filename during transfer
(because was oriented to transfer whole directories).
- delete command has been replaced with deletefile. Same here, we
have a specialized command for single file operation. Much more efficient.
- ls command has been replaced with lsf, that is a specialized version
that returns only filenames. Since duplicity needs only those, less
bytes to transfer, and less parsing to do.
- lastly, I have reintroduced a custom subprocess function because the one
inherithed from base class is checked, and throws an exception in case of
non zero return code. The ls command family returns a non zero value if
the directory does not exist in the remote, so starting a new backup
in a non existent directory is impossible at the moment because ls fails
repeatedly until duplicity gives up. This is a bug in the current implementation.
There is the same problem (but less severe) in _get method, using the default
self.
can cleanup the partially downloaded file, if any.
* Fixed bug #1875937 - validate_
- Skip validation with a warning if S3 glacier or deep storage specified
* Patched in a megav2backend.py to update to MEGAcmd tools.
- Author: Jose L. Domingo Lopez <github@
- Man pages, docs, etc. were included.
* More fixes for bug #1877885 - Catch quota overflow on Mega upload.
* Merged in jmakovicka:master - Support PyDrive2 library in the pydrive backend
- Unlike PyDrive, the PyDrive2 fork is actively maintained.
* Merged in mikix:mikix/
- The --rename argument wasn't working because its arguments were coming in and
being saved as unicode. But then compared against bytestring index path parts.
- This MR fixes that by saving the rename pieces as bytestrings up front.
* Fixes for issue #7, par2backend produces badly encoded filenames.
* Set deprecation version to 0.9.0 for short filenames.
