1.5.0 (2024-09-10)

Excited to announce Backrest 1.5.0 which comes with a number of new scheduling options focused on laptop users and scriptability for plans that adapt to tricky network environments. These are

  • 'on error retry' policies which allows you to define a command hook that will be retried until it succeds, this can be used to check that your network is healthy before allowing backups to execute e.g. on a laptop.
  • last task relative scheduling uses the last time the task ran rather than Backrest's startup time to determine when to run a job. This allows laptop users to ensure backups are never skipped e.g. when a device is powered off.

Additionally, broad improvements to logging are included e.g. logs are now streamed live for running operations and hooks. Lastly, a number of more minor bug fixes and quality of life improvements are bundled.
