borgmatic-defaults

My defaults for borgmatic backup configuration.

Requirements

These defaults are designed for Linux-based systems. They might work on Macs as well.

You need to have installed:

borg / borgbackup
borgmatic

Usage

Clone the repo

As root, clone the repo into /etc/borgmatic-defaults

git clone git@github.com:rolandu/borgmatic-defaults.git /etc/borgmatic-defaults/

Set up your config

cp /etc/borgmatic-defaults/template.yaml /etc/borgmatic/

Create your config(s)

Create your configs within /etc/borgmatic (or anywhere else).

Create repo

Example flow:

## Initialize the repo:
borgmatic --config /etc/borgmatic/your_config.yaml init --encryption repokey

## Store the key:
borgmatic --config /etc/borgmatic/your_config.yaml key export

## Try to do an initial backup:
borgmatic --config /etc/borgmatic/your_config.yaml create --verbosity 1 --list --stats

... and then you can go ahead and use borgmatic as you like.
