TL;DR:
I wrote a backup utility called plakar.

Let’s start with some LoFi
#

Relax.

I have a youtube channel (subscribe ! now !)

Plakar: Yet another backup utility ?
#

Yes, I wrote another backup utility.

I backup many hosts on a daily basis and while there are many different tools, I always fallback to using scripts built on top of rsync to do incremental backups, which always results in customization for this or that host.

I want backups that are easy to perform and restore, that do not require me to remember a ton of options, that lets me work with snapshots independant one of another instead of increments, that allow me to browse the content easily and compare snapshots without restoring them, that store data efficiently (compressed and deduped), and finally that lets me back things up locally or remotely to machines I own.

I’ve looked into various solutions and I figured that the best option for me was to write a tool that did exactly what I wanted. Also, it’s fun to write code.

What is plakar ?
#

The plakar utility is a tool that performs backups as snapshots of a tree structure, scanning subdirectories and files, and storing them efficiently in a repository while deduplicating redundant data. Once a snapshot has been taken of a directory, it can be inspected and restored at will.

How does it work ?
#

To perform a backup, you only need to call plakar with the push subcommand and a set of directories that should be part of the snapshot. This will cause plakar to scan the directories, collect inode information regarding every subdirectory and files, split files into chunks and push them to the repository.

$ plakar push /bin
82711aee-6485-445b-98f4-6cae51c83035: OK
$

The ls subcommand allows listing snapshots present in the repository:

$ plakar ls
82711aee-6485-445b-98f4-6cae51c83035 [2021-03-27T22:05:00Z] (size: 10 MB, files: 36, dirs: 1)
$

The pull subcommand allows restoring a particular snapshot:

$ plakar pull 82711aee-6485-445b-98f4-6cae51c83035
82711aee-6485-445b-98f4-6cae51c83035: OK

Compression and deduplication
#

When plakar performs a snapshot, it splits every file into content-defined chunks and checks if they are available in the repository before pushing them, in a way similar to what rsync does.

Each chunk is compressed before being written to the repository, so that between compression and deduplication, a saved snapshot may take less space than the original directory:

$ du -sh /bin
4.6M    /bin

$ du -sh ~/.plakar
3.8M    /Users/gilles/.plakar

Furthermore, since this deduplication takes place globally in the repository, pushing multiple times the same content doesn’t cause the plakar to grow much as it only grows by the size of the snapshot index:

$ plakar push /bin
f2645591-4b06-4512-89e2-dae8ad1e2360: OK

$ plakar push /bin

Snapshots UUID prefix-based lookup
#

Because using an UUID as parameter to subcommands is painful, plakar performs prefix-based lookup and allows using the beginning of an UUID as long as it is not ambiguous:

$ plakar pull 3
3630358c-c634-4ad9-960d-f864d1eb56f5: OK

In case of ambiguity, it warns so that a less ambiguous prefix can be provided:

$ plakar ls|grep ^4
45de4fd3-d177-4378-84cb-077b2ef297fb [2021-03-27T23:09:11Z] (size: 10 MB, files: 36, dirs: 1)
4c467893-f959-43cb-858f-c50b8c46a86d [2021-03-27T23:17:05Z] (size: 10 MB, files: 36, dirs: 1)

$ plakar pull 4
2021/03/28 00:17:15 plakar: snapshot ID is ambigous: 4 (matches 2 snapshots)

$ plakar pull 45
45de4fd3-d177-4378-84cb-077b2ef297fb: OK

Snapshots health check
#

Backups are not useful if they can’t be restored, but it’s also painful to create a backup and try restoring just to know if it would work. To cope with this, plakar supports health checking snapshots without actually restoring them:

$ plakar check 3
3630358c-c634-4ad9-960d-f864d1eb56f5: OK

What it does is that it fetches the snapshot index, checks that everything referenced in the snapshot exists in the repository, and does a few sanity checks to verify if it could restore the entirety of the snapshot if requested.

Snapshots restoration
#

As shown in the example above, restoring a snapshot is as simple as typing:

$ plakar pull 3
3630358c-c634-4ad9-960d-f864d1eb56f5: OK

But this performs a full snapshot restore, whereas sometimes what you really want is a partial restore. For this, plakar supports providing a path within a snapshot pointing either to a subdirectory or to a file:

$ plakar pull 3:/bin/ls
3630358c-c634-4ad9-960d-f864d1eb56f5:/bin/ls: OK

$ ls -l bin     
total 312
-rwxr-xr-x  1 gilles  staff  157360 27 Mar 23:18 ls

While doing the restore, plakar will check every chunk and their checksums to detect any corruption:

$ rm -rf ~/.plakar/default/chunks/00/008d4087e3e99c8f8c2c1ad76e9c6bc3d614e580e30ed45da06f93f912995538 

$ plakar pull 3
/bin/ksh: missing chunk 008d4087e3e99c8f8c2c1ad76e9c6bc3d614e580e30ed45da06f93f912995538
/bin/ksh: corrupt file: checksum mismatch
3630358c-c634-4ad9-960d-f864d1eb56f5: KO

$ ls -l bin

The snapshot is still restored as a “best effort”, but here a warning informs that ksh is not the same as the one that was initially backed up. This is not supposed to happen in practice as long as I don’t fiddle with the repository, but it is a nice sanity check.

One that would be caught by plakar check:

$ plakar check 3
3630358c-c634-4ad9-960d-f864d1eb56f5: KO

Other plakar subcommands
#

In addition to pull, push, ls and check, plakar supports various other subcommands.

They are more interesting when playing with text files, so let’s push /private/etc:

$ plakar push /private/etc
open /private/etc/krb5.keytab: permission denied
open /private/etc/aliases.db: permission denied
open /private/etc/racoon/psk.txt: permission denied
open /private/etc/security/audit_user: permission denied
open /private/etc/security/audit_control: permission denied
open /private/etc/sudoers: permission denied
open /private/etc/sudo_lecture: permission denied
open /private/etc/master.passwd: permission denied
open /private/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.default: permission denied
open /private/etc/openldap/DB_CONFIG.example: permission denied
98b6658b-a975-47c4-a38f-f958d8d7359f: OK

Here plakar has warned about files that couldn’t make it into the snapshot, but lets inspect what files are part of the snapshot with ls:

$ plakar ls 9:/

Or list files within a specific subdirectory:

$ plakar ls 9:/private/etc/uucp            
b86ff58053e9e930a0324f7fb5e0458213567feca9e97de92da20bff82f17e06 -r--r--r--     root    wheel   2.4 kB /private/etc/uucp/sys

These listings rely on the snapshot index and do not fetch chunks from the repository, however it is possible to actually look at the file content with the cat subcommand:

$ plakar cat 9:/etc/uucp/passwd
#
# The passwd configuration file
#

#
# Specify a login name and password that a system can use when logging in.
#

uucp_tst sekret

Now let’s make a change to that file and push it again:

$ sudo sed -i '' -e 's/sekret/notsosecret/' /etc/uucp/passwd

$ plakar push /private/etc

open /private/etc/openldap/DB_CONFIG.example: permission denied
b41802cb-9424-47eb-8186-2847678a8646: OK

From there, it is possible to perform an inode diff:

$ plakar diff 9 b
-  drwxr-xr-x     root    wheel    160 B 2020-01-01 08:00:00 +0000 UTC /private/etc/uucp
+  drwxr-xr-x     root    wheel    160 B 2021-03-27 22:38:17.685871971 +0000 UTC /private/etc/uucp
-  -r--r--r--     root    wheel    133 B 2020-01-01 08:00:00 +0000 UTC /private/etc/uucp/passwd

This shows that the /private/etc/uucp directory has had its date change, and that /private/etc/uccp/passwd has had its date and size change, and from there it is possible to request a diff of the file with the diff subcommand:

$ plakar diff 9 b /private/etc/uucp/passwd

@@ -6,5 +6,5 @@

 #
 
-uucp_tst sekret
+uucp_tst notsosecret

The snapshots are not incremental so it is possible to generate diffs between any of them.

Removing old snapshots
#

Even though snapshots of similar content do not consume much space, there’s no use in keeping a lot of old snapshots hanging around. Snapshots can be removed from the repository with the rm subcommand:

$ plakar ls       
98b6658b-a975-47c4-a38f-f958d8d7359f [2021-03-27T22:29:09Z] (size: 3.0 MB, files: 230, dirs: 39)
b41802cb-9424-47eb-8186-2847678a8646 [2021-03-27T22:38:22Z] (size: 3.0 MB, files: 230, dirs: 39)

$ du -sh ~/.plakar
2.2M    /Users/gilles/.plakar

$ plakar rm 9
98b6658b-a975-47c4-a38f-f958d8d7359f: OK

$ du -sh ~/.plakar
2.1M    /Users/gilles/.plakar

$ plakar rm b     
b41802cb-9424-47eb-8186-2847678a8646: OK

$ du -sh ~/.plakar
  0B    /Users/gilles/.plakar 

The repository keeps chunks as long as they are referenced by at least one snapshot, but removes them when they become orphans which is why the repository becomes empty after the last snapshot is removed.

Namespaces
#

Sometimes I want to make sure that my backups are fully disjoint one from another, not sharing their snapshots and deduplication. The plakar repository supports namespaces so that I can keep related snapshots together and apart from others.

For example, I have backups for poolp.org and for hypno.cat and I want to manage the snapshots separately:

$ plakar -namespace poolp.org push data
351348b3-8dc3-4caa-b0be-334c43f4fd13: OK

$ plakar -namespace hypno.cat push data
1fa2dac2-8096-483a-a2d3-2a78ce3706ce: OK

$ plakar -namespace poolp.org ls            
351348b3-8dc3-4caa-b0be-334c43f4fd13 [2021-03-27T22:49:58Z] (size: 896 kB, files: 79, dirs: 4)

$ plakar -namespace hypno.cat ls            
1fa2dac2-8096-483a-a2d3-2a78ce3706ce [2021-03-27T22:50:40Z] (size: 896 kB, files: 79, dirs: 4)
$

Stores
#

In addition, I may want to provide an alternate path to the repository because ~/.plakar is not ideal, plakar supports providing alternate repository path with the -store option:

$ plakar -store /var/backups/gilles push data
f6cc2508-ea59-4552-aa4b-27900f0a9781: OK

$ plakar -store /var/backups/gilles ls
f6cc2508-ea59-4552-aa4b-27900f0a9781 [2021-03-27T22:52:47Z] (size: 896 kB, files: 79, dirs: 4)

But this doesn’t stop here …

plakar server
#

So far I only showed plakar working on a local repository, it however supports a network mode.

It is possible to start a plakar server on a machine with:

$ plakar server 192.168.0.1:2222    
$

and on another machine, point the repository to that server:

$ plakar -store plakar://192.168.0.1:2222 push /bin
3ac8f3ff-e723-46c3-9ae7-4b11bb27f3b2: OK
$

The plakar server can use -store itself, so it is possible to configure it to store at at particular location:

$ plakar -store /var/backups server 192.168.0.1:2222
$

and because I made a monster, it is possible that this location is a different plakar server, effectively turning a plakar instance into a proxy:

box1$ plakar server 192.168.0.1:2222
box1$

box2$ plakar -store plakar://192.168.0.1:2222 server 192.168.0.2:2222
box2$

box3$ plakar -store plakar://192.168.0.2:2222 push /bin
998964ac-d3f6-4bf3-b784-50ba616e0776: OK
$

From the local user point of view, pushing to a local plakar, to a remote plakar, or even to a remote plakar proxying to another plakar work the same.

Is it released ?
#

Nope, not yet.

This is a PoC and my first real project in Golang, so I need a bit of time to make sure it is in a state that I’m not ashamed to release.

If you are a sponsor and want to give it a try, just mail me and I’ll arrange that.

What’s next ?
#

A lot of things really…

First of all, every single command needs a bit of polishing to have a nice feel because the output is not always the best to work with.

Then, I have not implemented any caching whatsoever so even though it’s not dead slow, a lot of operations that could be skipped are always performed making it slower than it should.

Also, the server mode doesn’t use encryption at this point and while it is ok on a personal network, I want to be able to deploy a plakar server on a dedicated server at some provider and use it safely.

Finally, I began building an UI to browse snapshots and this requires building a global index of snapshots, which is something I haven’t tackled yet. At this point, each snapshot has its own index but I’d like to be able to have a search box which looks up for stuff through all snapshots.

I also have other private plans with this which I’ll discuss later ;-)
