- Add new Rclone storage location option that can reference existing Rclone
remotes, thus allowing backing up to a wide variety of cloud providers
- Keep "backup successful" notifications around (there was a bug where
they sometimes disappeared right after the backup, but now they persist)
- Add allow-power-saver gsettings key to allow automatic backups even when
Power Saver mode is enabled, for folks that live in that mode
- Avoid another possible source of multiple tool tasks running on top of
each other when starting up automatic backups
- Restic: avoid matching multiple files when restoring
- Restic: hide noisy "status" messages from the About window debug logs
Packaging
- Add new
-Drestic_by_default=true
option (defaulting to "false"),
which (if-Denable_restic=true
is also set) will change the default tool
backend to Restic from Duplicity. For clarity:
-Denable_restic=true
will enable a Labs preference tab
where users can opt-in to using Restic for new backups.
- Adding
-Drestic_by_default=true
will go one step further and opt the user
into Restic for new backups without a Labs preference tab. Existing
Duplicity backups will still be supported. But new ones will use Restic.
