1.6.2 (2024-11-26)

Restic 1.6.2 brings a focus on quality of life and stability bug fixes as well as a new version of restic bumping the default version to 0.17.3.

Notable changes are:

  • Significant improvements to the Backrest windows installer have been made to reduce install friction and eliminating the need to grant administrative privileges (by installing to a user owned folder).
  • PowerShell commands are much better supported on Windows.
  • On all platforms, Backrest will now use the system install of restic if it matches the required version (currently 0.17.3) -- backrest will only install and manage its own version of restic if the system version is unsupported.
  • On MacOS the "restic" binary is now always located at ~/.local/share/backrest/restic making it easier to grant full disk access and other permissions.
  • Crash on arm32 devices affecting Raspberry Pi Zero users is fixed.
  • Add repo and add plan views now correctly populate default schedules and retention policies that make sense for easier first time setup.

  • make cancel button more visible for a running operation (51a6683)
  • set etag header to cache webUI source (0642f4b)
  • substantially improve windows installer experience (#578) (74eb869)
  • tray app infers UI port from BACKREST_PORT or --bind-address if available (c810d27)
  • update resticinstaller to use the same binary name across versions and to use system restic install when possible (5fea5fd)
  • use command mode when executing powershell scripts on windows (#569) (57f9aeb)
  • webui may duplicate elements in a multi-instance repo (bf77bab)
