We are happy to announce the release of restic 0.17.3!

This patch release fixes a couple of bugs on Windows related to backing up metadata on removable disks and extended attributes with VSS. It also fixes handling of broken SFTP connections, enables --no-lock for prune --dry-run and works around a problem when browsing FUSE-T mounted repositories.

To download the new release and to see a more detailed list of important changes, please head over to GitHub. If you already have restic (0.9.4 or later), you can use the self-update command to automatically download and verify the new release.

As always, thanks for reporting any issues you encounter! To get help or provide feedback, please write a post in the forum.
