A backup uploads its blobs before the manifest that lists them, and the
process lock covers one user on one machine, so a prune from another host
or user sharing the destination deleted a running backup's blobs.
Prune now deletes an unreferenced blob only once its listed time is older
than the new config key prune_grace_period (default 24h; a negative value
is refused). A newer blob, or one listed with no time, is kept and counted
(blobs_too_new). The rclone backend takes each object's time from the
listing (use_server_modtime).
Decision: a blob a backup reuses from an earlier run that stopped before its manifest keeps its old time and is not protected; the docs say so.
Model: opus-5-5
The rclone backend wrote each object straight to its key, so killing an
upload to a local or sftp remote left a truncated object there that the
next backup trusted.
On every remote with a server-side move, an object is now written under
a name ending in `.partial` and moved onto its key with rclone's
operations.Move, which removes an object already at the key first;
drive, dropbox and others will not move onto one. Listings skip
`.partial` names. Rclone's own copy also requires the PartialUploads
flag; this does not, because hdfs shows a file while it is written
without setting it. Remotes without a move are written in place.
Model: opus-5-5
internal/storage, the package that parses store URLs and selects the backend, had no tests.
Adds table-driven tests for URL parsing (each scheme, query parameters, malformed input, unknown scheme, backend type chosen); one shared conformance suite for the Storer interface, run against the file backend in a temp directory and the s3 backend on the in-process harness internal/s3 already uses, so a new backend inherits it; and rclone construction and argument tests using its in-process local backend. A comment records that rclone data operations need a configured remote and are not unit-tested. No production code changed and no defect surfaced.
