Lib.rs

Library for fast, encrypted, and deduplicated backups

About

This library is powering rustic-rs. A backup tool that provides fast, encrypted, deduplicated backups. It reads and writes the restic repository format, which is described in their design document.

Note: rustic_core is in an early development stage and its API is subject to change in the next releases. If you want to give feedback on that, please open an issue.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rustic_core = "*"

Crate features

This crate exposes a few features for controlling dependency usage:

• cli - Enables support for CLI features by enabling clap and merge features. This feature is disabled by default.

• clap - Enables a dependency on the clap crate and enables parsing from the commandline. This feature is disabled by default.

• merge - Enables support for merging multiple values into one, which enables the conflate dependency. This is needed for parsing commandline arguments and merging them into one (e.g. config). This feature is disabled by default.

• webdav - Enables a dependency on the dav-server and futures crate. This enables us to run a WebDAV server asynchronously on the commandline. This feature is disabled by default.

Examples

Example: Initializing a new repository

use rustic_backend::BackendOptions;
use rustic_core::{ConfigOptions, KeyOptions, Repository, RepositoryOptions};
use simplelog::{Config, LevelFilter, SimpleLogger};
use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Display info logs
    let _ = SimpleLogger::init(LevelFilter::Info, Config::default());

    // Initialize Backends
    let backends = BackendOptions::default()
        .repository("/tmp/repo")
        .to_backends()?;

    // Init repository
    let repo_opts = RepositoryOptions::default().password("test");
    let key_opts = KeyOptions::default();
    let config_opts = ConfigOptions::default();
    let _repo = Repository::new(&repo_opts, backends)?.init(&key_opts, &config_opts)?;

    // -> use _repo for any operation on an open repository
    Ok(())
}

Example: Creating a new snapshot

use rustic_backend::BackendOptions;
use rustic_core::{BackupOptions, PathList, Repository, RepositoryOptions, SnapshotOptions};
use simplelog::{Config, LevelFilter, SimpleLogger};
use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Display info logs
    let _ = SimpleLogger::init(LevelFilter::Info, Config::default());

    // Initialize Backends
    let backends = BackendOptions::default()
        .repository("/tmp/repo")
        .repo_hot("/tmp/repo2")
        .to_backends()?;

    // Open repository
    let repo_opts = RepositoryOptions::default().password("test");

    let repo = Repository::new(&repo_opts, backends)?
        .open()?
        .to_indexed_ids()?;

    let backup_opts = BackupOptions::default();
    let source = PathList::from_string(".")?.sanitize()?;
    let snap = SnapshotOptions::default()
        .add_tags("tag1,tag2")?
        .to_snapshot()?;

    // Create snapshot
    let snap = repo.backup(&backup_opts, &source, snap)?;

    println!("successfully created snapshot:\n{snap:#?}");
    Ok(())

Example: Restoring a snapshot

use rustic_backend::BackendOptions;
use rustic_core::{LocalDestination, LsOptions, Repository, RepositoryOptions, RestoreOptions};
use simplelog::{Config, LevelFilter, SimpleLogger};
use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Display info logs
    let _ = SimpleLogger::init(LevelFilter::Info, Config::default());

    // Initialize Backends
    let backends = BackendOptions::default()
        .repository("/tmp/repo")
        .to_backends()?;

    // Open repository
    let repo_opts = RepositoryOptions::default().password("test");
    let repo = Repository::new(&repo_opts, backends)?
        .open()?
        .to_indexed()?;

    // use latest snapshot without filtering snapshots
    let node = repo.node_from_snapshot_path("latest", |_| true)?;

    // use list of the snapshot contents using no additional filtering
    let streamer_opts = LsOptions::default();
    let ls = repo.ls(&node, &streamer_opts)?;

    let destination = "./restore/"; // restore to this destination dir
    let create = true; // create destination dir, if it doesn't exist
    let dest = LocalDestination::new(destination, create, !node.is_dir())?;

    let opts = RestoreOptions::default();
    let dry_run = false;
    // create restore infos. Note: this also already creates needed dirs in the destination
    let restore_infos = repo.prepare_restore(&opts, ls.clone(), &dest, dry_run)?;

    repo.restore(restore_infos, &opts, ls, &dest)?;
    Ok(())
}

Example: Checking a repository

use rustic_backend::BackendOptions;
use rustic_core::{CheckOptions, Repository, RepositoryOptions};
use simplelog::{Config, LevelFilter, SimpleLogger};
use std::error::Error;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    // Display info logs
    let _ = SimpleLogger::init(LevelFilter::Info, Config::default());

    // Initialize Backends
    let backends = BackendOptions::default()
        .repository("/tmp/repo")
        .to_backends()?;

    // Open repository
    let repo_opts = RepositoryOptions::default().password("test");
    let repo = Repository::new(&repo_opts, backends)?.open()?;

    // Check repository with standard options but omitting cache checks
    let opts = CheckOptions::default().trust_cache(true);
    repo.check(opts)?;
    Ok(())
}

Minimum Rust version policy

This crate's minimum supported rustc version is 1.76.0.

The current policy is that the minimum Rust version required to use this crate can be increased in minor version updates. For example, if crate 1.0 requires Rust 1.20.0, then crate 1.0.z for all values of z will also require Rust 1.20.0 or newer. However, crate 1.y for y > 0 may require a newer minimum version of Rust.

In general, this crate will be conservative with respect to the minimum supported version of Rust.
