A restic client written in rust

I am very happy to announce rustic 0.6.0 and 0.6.1!
(0.6.1 is just a small bugfix release which fixed problems with build and the CI).

These are the first releases which use rustic_core for basically all functionality. Besides this, some new features have been added (most to rustic_core):

  • The restore algorithm is now much faster (and reportedly faster than restic restore) and works also more incremental making resumed restores faster.
  • New option backup --init allows to initialize a repository with the first backup.
  • Option --json is now available for more commands.
  • New options ls --long and ls --summary.
  • Configuration files are now also searched in system-wide config dirs.
  • rustic now allows to set env variables in the configuration files.
  • many minor bugs have been fixed.
  • …and more, see the changlog!
