v1.6.0
1.6.0 (2024-10-20)
This update comes with new UI and quality of life features. Top of the list are:
- Custom commands (e.g. Run Command feature) are now tracked in the operation log & supports long running jobs. This means backrest can be used for operations e.g.
restic mount
while you browse your repo, or to runcheck
orprune
with custom flags. - Summary dashboard as the new homepage shows recent backup statuses and metrics.
- Built-in support for healthchecks.io notifications
- Linkable pages, you can now bookmark specific repo / plan views.
- Resizeable tree view allowing for focusing in on either the tree itself or details of the operation you currently have selected
- Under-the-hood: sqlite3 migration for operation storage improves performance for very large operation histories & improves maintainability.
