3 years ago
  • New docs, see http://backy2.com/docs/
  • Added fuse mount with metadata information files
  • Removed NBD Server
  • Write support for fuse data (mount support directly from backup)
  • Encryption
  • Compression
  • Encryption-version migration
  • Re-keying
  • Performance >350MB/s on recent CPUs with compression and encryption
  • Recommendation NOT to use sqlite anymore
  • Documentation update to reflect changes
  • Better tag handling on backup, esp. on continue.
  • Added minio s3 client library for better s3 performance than boto3
  • Added "continue" feature both for backup and restore
  • Show throughput in stats, not write performance.
  • Improved performance on s3. However, boto3 seems to be the bottleneck
    here. We only get ~120MB/s to s3. Hints welcome.
  • Upgrade to boto3
  • Better stats
  • Nicer output for restore
  • Reducing memory on backup and restore at least by about -90%
  • Rewrote backup function
  • Backup is now skipping "preparing version" and thus WAY faster
  • Backy2 can now handle ~1.5GB throughput w/ backups on my notebook
  • Restore is way faster
  • Deduplication on/off can now be toggled in cfg (if performance is more
    important than space).
  • null data backend and null io for testing performance (you can now backup
    to a null target and restore from a null target).
  • IO writer (for restore) is now multithreaded, therefore there's now
    simulatious_writes in the config for the IOs.
  • Way better output during backup, restore and scrub, also throttleded to
    max 1/s, added ETA, added throughput and added the queuelengths for
    better understanding the bottlenecks.
  • Using system rbd/rados python libs if available in the hope of better
    performance and compatibility.
  • Added a warning when using the old backy2-builtin rbd and rados libs
  • Nicer process notifications (top, ps)
