This release adds support for the Asia Pacific S3 bucket region “ap-southeast-1″ and fixes a number of bugs, including excessive memory usage and occasional temporary not-found errors on restore.
Feature Additions
- “ap-southeast-1″ bucket region support.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where changes to folders on remote volumes sometimes weren’t detected.
- Fixed the frantic behavior on agent startup when a folder is missing.
- Fixed the frantic behavior on agent startup when the 30-day trial is over and Arq doesn’t have a valid license yet.
- Allow 0 for a budget number. If budget is 0 (or any number less than the minimum space required for 1 backup of each folder), Arq keeps just 1 backup for each folder.
- Show correct pricing numbers in budget preferences, using pricing of selected bucket region.
- Fixed long-term memory usage issues in Arq Agent.
- Log the error code and description when SecKeychainItemCreateFromContent fails (rare).
- Fixed an issue that was causing occasional temporary “not found” errors on restore: When Arq backs up, it stores small files in “packs”. When a pack reaches 10MB, Arq saves it to S3. When it’s done backing up it saves the last pack in S3 too. The next time it backs up, it starts with that last pack and adds to it until it reaches 10MB, at which point it replaces that last pack with the new full-size pack. The restore process was trying to read from the pack that the backup process deleted (replaced with a different pack). If you restarted Arq and tried restoring again, it found the new pack and worked fine.
