🌸 Easter release 🥚
This release delivers a preview of a new Client/Server mode, Fish shell completions, Windows scheduling enhancements, and several dependency and toolchain upgrades.
Please note the documentation for the Client/Server mode is not available yet.
New Features
Client/Server Mode [PREVIEW]
- Remote configuration delivery: resticprofile can now send a configuration profile to a remote server, enabling centralized management of backup profiles across multiple hosts.
- A new remote section in the configuration allows specifying the server address and credentials for the client/server communication.
Fish Shell Completions
- Fish shell support: Added shell completion script generation for the Fish shell (--fish-completion flag in the generate command).
Windows Scheduling: Start When Available
- New schedule-start-when-available option: When a scheduled task is missed (e.g. because the machine was off), Windows Task Scheduler will now start it as soon as the machine is available again.
Bug Fixes
Scheduling Fixes
- Battery power: Fixed a bug where Windows Task Scheduler tasks were incorrectly set to not start when running on battery power, regardless of battery state.
- launchd log paths: When schedule-log is configured in a profile, resticprofile now omits the StandardOutPath/StandardErrorPath entries from the launchd plist, preventing the creation of empty log files.
Maintenance and Toolchain
- Upgraded to Go 1.26
- Upgraded golangci-lint to v2
⚠️ Breaking changes ⚠️
This release introduces two breaking changes in resticprofile exit codes during a failure:
Failure because of low memory
When resticprofile failed to start because the memory remaining is under the threshold in the configuration, the exit code is now 5 and no longer 1
Failure to find any restic binary
When resticprofile failed to start because it couldn't find any restic binary, it now fails with exit code 6 and no longer 1
