1.1.0rc1, rc2, rc3, rc4 feedback ticket

[ThomasWaldmann]

if you tested a 1.1.0 release candidate and you found some bug or issue, please file a separate issue from this.

if you tested it and everything worked, please write a comment below, stating:

• borg version
• what you tested
• scale of your tests
• fresh repository or existing 1.0 or 1.1 rc repository

I tested the 1.1.0b6 version a bit and everything seems to work, except for these two issues:

• 1.1.0b6: Backing up block device ends with parameter error #2831
• Borg considers syntax error a hostname #2833

You can see what I've tested in the new screencasts I made in #2835. So testing was just a side effect here. 😄

I'm using 1.1.0rc1 for the client and server.

Since 1.1.0rc1 was released, I've been using my normal scheduled backup script, which uses LZMA compression, keyfile-based encryption, and custom chunker parameters. I've restored a few times as needed.

The repo is a COW copy of a 1.0.11 repo that is ~150 gigabytes in size.

I tested the borg 1.1.0rc3 pre-built binary on Ubuntu 16.04. I used it to do my usual system backups into a repo that has been written to many times with earlier borg versions, most recently 1.1.0b4. This also involved a cache rebuild. Now chunks.archive.d is ~40% smaller than it was before, and the rebuild was faster. I also tested borg list and borg prune.
