<intro>
|
|
<text><backrest/> release numbers consist of two parts, major and minor. A major release may break compatibility with the prior major release, for instance the 1.XX releases are not compatible with the 0.XX releases. Minor releases can include bug fixes and features but do not change the repository format and strive to avoid changing options and naming.
|
|
|
|
The notes for a release may also contain <quote>Additional Notes</quote> but changes in this section are only to documentation or the test suite and have no direct impact the on the <backrest/> codebase.</text>

<p>Fixed an issue where read-only operations that used local worker processes (i.e. <cmd>restore</cmd>) were creating write locks that could interfere with parallel <cmd>archive-push</cmd>.</p>

|
<p>Simplify locking scheme. Now, only the master process will hold write locks (for <cmd>archive-push</cmd> and <cmd>backup</cmd> commands) and not all local and remote worker processes as before.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|

<release-item>
|
|
<p>Refactor <code>Ini.pm</code> to facilitate testing.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Do not set timestamps of files in the backup directories to match timestamps in the cluster directory. This was originally done to enable backup resume, but that process is now implemented with checksums.</p>

<release date="2017-02-05" version="1.13" title="Parallel Archiving, Stanza Create, Improved Info and Check">
|
|
<release-core-list>
|
|
<p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: The new implementation of asynchronous archiving no longer copies WAL to a separate queue. If there is any WAL left over in the old queue after upgrading to <id>1.13</id>, it will be abandoned and <b>not</b> pushed to the repository.
|
|
|
|
To prevent this outcome, stop archiving by setting <setting>archive_command = false</setting>. Next, drain the async queue by running <code>pgbackrest --stanza=[stanza-name] archive-push</code> and wait for the process to complete. Check that the queue in <path>[spool-path]/archive/[stanza-name]/out</path> is empty. Finally, install <code>1.13</code> and restore the original <setting>archive_command</setting>.
|
|
|
|
<b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: The <cmd>stanza-create</cmd> command is not longer optional and must be executed before backup or archiving can be performed on a <b>new</b> stanza. Pre-existing stanzas do not require <cmd>stanza-create</cmd> to be executed.</p>

|
<p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: In prior releases it was possible to specify options on the command-line that were invalid for the current command without getting an error. An error will now be generated for invalid options so it is important to carefully check command-line options in your environment to prevent disruption.</p>

|
<p>Fixed an issue where options that were invalid for the specified command could be provided on the command-line without generating an error. The options were ignored and did not cause any change in behavior, but it did lead to some confusion. Invalid options will now generate an error.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Fixed an issue where internal symlinks were not being created for tablespaces in the repository. This issue was only apparent when trying to bring up clusters in-place manually using filesystem snapshots and did not affect normal backup and restore.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue that prevented errors from being output to the console before the logging system was initialized, i.e. while parsing options. Error codes were still being returned accurately so this would not have made a process look like it succeeded when it did not.</p>

|
<p>Added the <br-option>--checksum-page</br-option> option to allow pgBackRest to validate page checksums in data files when checksums are enabled on <postgres/> >= 9.3. Note that this functionality requires a C library which may not initially be available in OS packages. The option will automatically be enabled when the library is present and checksums are enabled on the cluster.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Added the <br-option>--repo-link</br-option> option to allow internal symlinks to be suppressed when the repository is located on a filesystem that does not support symlinks. This does not affect any <backrest/> functionality, but the convenience link <path>latest</path> will not be created and neither will internal tablespace symlinks, which will affect the ability to bring up clusters in-place manually using filesystem snapshots.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Added the <br-option>--repo-sync</br-option> option to allow directory syncs in the repository to be disabled for file systems that do not support them, e.g. NTFS.</p>

<p>For simplicity, the <file>pg_control</file> file is now copied with the rest of the files instead of by itself of at the end of the process. The <cmd>backup</cmd> command does not require this behavior and the <cmd>restore</cmd> copies to a temporary file which is renamed at the end of the restore.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue where the async archiver would not be started if <cmd>archive-push</cmd> did not have enough space to queue a new WAL segment. This meant that the queue would never be cleared without manual intervention (such as calling <cmd>archive-push</cmd> directly). <postgres/> now receives errors when there is not enough space to store new WAL segments but the async process will still be started so that space is eventually freed.</p>

|
<p>Backup from a standby cluster. A connection to the primary cluster is still required to start/stop the backup and copy files that are not replicated, but the vast majority of files are copied from the standby in order to reduce load on the master.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>More flexible configuration for databases. Master and standby can both be configured on the backup server and <backrest/> will automatically determine which is the master. This means no configuration changes for backup are required after failing over from a master to standby when a separate backup server is used.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Exclude directories during backup that are cleaned, recreated, or zeroed by <postgres/> at startup. These include <path>pgsql_tmp</path> and <path>pg_stat_tmp</path>. The <file>postgresql.auto.conf.tmp</file> file is now excluded in addition to files that were already excluded: <file>backup_label.old</file>, <file>postmaster.opts</file>, <file>postmaster.pid</file>, <file>recovery.conf</file>, <file>recovery.done</file>.</p>

<p>Improvements in <code>Db</code> module: separated out <code>connect()</code> function, allow <code>executeSql()</code> calls that do not return data, and improve error handling.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue where <id>keep-alives</id> could be starved out by lots of small files during multi-threaded <cmd>backup</cmd>. They were also completely absent from single/multi-threaded <cmd>backup</cmd> resume and <cmd>restore</cmd> checksumming.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue where the <cmd>expire</cmd> command would refuse to run when explicitly called from the command line if the <br-option>db-host</br-option> option was set. This was not an issue when <cmd>expire</cmd> was run automatically after a <cmd>backup</cmd></p>

<p>Added <cmd>check</cmd> command to validate that <backrest/> is configured correctly for archiving and backups.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Added the <br-option>protocol-timeout</br-option> option. Previously <br-option>protocol-timeout</br-option> was set as <br-option>db-timeout</br-option> + 30 seconds.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Failure to shutdown remotes at the end of the backup no longer throws an exception. Instead a warning is generated that recommends a higher <br-option>protocol-timeout</br-option>.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Experimental support for non-exclusive backups in <postgres/> 9.6 beta2. Changes to the control/catalog/WAL versions in subsequent betas may break compatibility but <backrest/> will be updated with each release to keep pace.</p>
|

</release-feature-list>
|
|
|
|
<release-refactor-list>
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>The <code>pg_xlogfile_name()</code> function is no longer used to construct WAL filenames from LSNs. While this function is convenient it is not available on a standby. Instead, the archive is searched for the LSN in order to find the timeline. If due to some misadventure the LSN appears on multiple timelines then an error will be thrown, whereas before this condition would have passed unnoticed.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Option handling is now far more strict. Previously it was possible for a command to use an option that was not explicitly assigned to it. This was especially true for the <br-option>backup-host</br-option> and <br-option>db-host</br-option> options which are used to determine locality.</p>

<release date="2016-04-14" version="1.00" title="New Repository Format and Configuration Scheme, Link Support">
|
|
<release-core-list>
|
|
<p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: This flag day release breaks compatibility with older versions of <backrest/>. The manifest format, on-disk structure, configuration scheme, and the exe/path names have all changed. You must create a new repository to hold backups for this version of <backrest/> and keep your older repository for a time in case you need to do a restore. Restores from the prior repository will require the prior version of <backrest/> but because of name changes it is possible to have <id>1.00</id> and a prior version of <backrest/> installed at the same time. See the notes below for more detailed information on what has changed.</p>

|
<p>Implemented a new configuration scheme which should be far simpler to use. See the User Guide and Configuration Reference for details but for a simple configuration all options can now be placed in the <setting>stanza</setting> section. Options that are shared between stanzas can be placed in the <setting>[global]</setting> section. More complex configurations can still make use of command sections though this should be a rare use case.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>The <setting>repo-path</setting> option now always refers to the repository where backups and archive are stored, whether local or remote, so the <setting>repo-remote-path</setting> option has been removed. The new <setting>spool-path</setting> option can be used to define a location for queueing WAL segments when archiving asynchronously. A local repository is no longer required.</p>

<release date="2016-03-22" version="0.91" title="Tablespace Bug Fix and Minor Enhancements">
|
|
<release-core-list>
|
|
<p><b>IMPORTANT BUG FIX FOR TABLESPACES</b>: A change to the repository format was accidentally introduced in 0.90 which means the on-disk backup was no longer a valid <postgres/> cluster when the backup contained tablespaces. This only affected users who directly copied the backups to restore <postgres/> clusters rather than using the restore command. However, the fix breaks compatibility with older backups that contain tablespaces no matter how they are being restored (<backrest/> will throw errors and refuse to restore). New full backups should be taken immediately after installing version 0.91 for any clusters that contain tablespaces. If older backups need to be restored then use a version of <backrest/> that matches the backup version.</p>

<p>The <setting>retention-archive</setting> option can now be be safely set to less than backup retention (<setting>retention-full</setting> or <setting>retention-diff</setting>) without also specifying <setting>archive-copy=n</setting>.

<p>When backing up and restoring tablespaces <backrest/> only operates on the subdirectory created for the version of <postgres/> being run against. Since multiple versions can live in a tablespace (especially during a binary upgrade) this prevents too many files from being copied during a backup and other versions possibly being wiped out during a restore. This only applies to <postgres/> >= 9.0 &mdash; prior versions of <postgres/> could not share a tablespace directory.</p>

<p>Added checks for <setting>{[dash]}-delta</setting> and <setting>{[dash]}-force</setting> restore options to ensure that the destination is a valid $PGDATA directory. <backrest/> will check for the presence of <file>PG_VERSION</file> or <file>backup.manifest</file> (left over from an aborted restore). If neither file is found then <setting>{[dash]}-delta</setting> and <setting>{[dash]}-force</setting> will be disabled but the restore will proceed unless there are files in the $PGDATA directory (or any tablespace directories) in which case the operation will be aborted.</p>

<p>Fixed an issue where document generation failed because some OSs are not tolerant of having multiple installed versions of <postgres/>. A separate VM is now created for each version. Also added a sleep after database starts during document generation to ensure the database is running before the next command runs.</p>

Keepalives are now used to make sure the remote for the main process does not timeout while the thread remotes do all the work.

<release-core-list>

|
<p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: This flag day release breaks compatibility with older versions of <backrest/>. The manifest format, on-disk structure, and the binary names have all changed. You must create a new repository to hold backups for this version of <backrest/> and keep your older repository for a time in case you need to do a restore. The <file>pg_backrest.conf</file> file has not changed but you'll need to change any references to <file>pg_backrest.pl</file> in cron (or elsewhere) to <file>pg_backrest</file> (without the <file>.pl</file> extension).</p>

<p>Fixed an issue in async archiving where <cmd>archive-push</cmd> was not properly returning 0 when <setting>archive-max-mb</setting> was reached and moved the async check after transfer to avoid having to remove the stop file twice.

<p>Better resume support. Resumed files are checked to be sure they have not been modified and the manifest is saved more often to preserve checksums as the backup progresses. More unit tests to verify each resume case.</p>

<p>Resume is now optional. Use the <setting>resume</setting> setting or <setting>{[dash]}-no-resume</setting> from the command line to disable.</p>

<p>Added <setting>tablespace</setting> setting to allow tablespaces to be restored into the <path>pg_tblspc</path> path. This produces compact restores that are convenient for development, staging, etc. Currently these restores cannot be backed up as <backrest/> expects only links in the <path>pg_tblspc</path> path.</p>

<p>Found and squashed a nasty bug where <code>file_copy()</code> was defaulted to ignore errors. There was also an issue in <code>file_exists()</code> that was causing the test to fail when the file actually did exist. Together they could have resulted in a corrupt backup with no errors, though it is very unlikely.</p>

<p>If an archive directory which should be empty could not be deleted backrest was throwing an error.

|
|
<release-core-list>
|
|
<release-feature-list>
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>No restore functionality, but the backup directories are consistent <postgres/> data directories. You'll need to either uncompress the files or turn off compression in the backup. Uncompressed backups on a ZFS (or similar) filesystem are a good option because backups can be restored locally via a snapshot to create logical backups or do spot data recovery.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Archiving is single-threaded. This has not posed an issue on our multi-terabyte databases with heavy write volume. Recommend a large WAL volume or to use the async option with a large volume nearby.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Backups are multi-threaded, but the <code>Net::OpenSSH</code> library does not appear to be 100% thread-safe so it will very occasionally lock up on a thread. There is an overall process timeout that resolves this issue by killing the process. Yes, very ugly.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|
|
<p>Checksums are lost on any resumed backup. Only the final backup will record checksum on multiple resumes. Checksums from previous backups are correctly recorded and a full backup will reset everything.</p>
|
|
</release-item>
|
|
|
|
<release-item>
|

<p>The <file>backup.manifest</file> is being written as <code>Storable</code> because <code>Config::IniFile</code> does not seem to handle large files well. Would definitely like to save these as human-readable text.</p>
