backing up special devices such as /dev/zero.
example: false
bsd_flags:
type: bool
desc: Record bsdflags (e.g. NODUMP, IMMUTABLE) in archive. Defaults to true.

patterns:
seq:
- type: scalar

Any paths matching these patterns are included/excluded from backups. Globs are
expanded. (Tildes are not.) Note that Borg considers this option experimental.
See the output of "borg help patterns" for more details. Quote any value if it
contains leading punctuation, so it parses correctly.

- '+ /home/susan'
- '- /home/*'

"borg help patterns" for more details.
example:
- /etc/borgmatic/patterns
exclude_patterns:
seq:
- type: scalar
desc: |
Any paths matching these patterns are excluded from backups. Globs and tildes
are expanded. See the output of "borg help patterns" for more details.

exclude_from:
seq:
- type: scalar

line. See the output of "borg help patterns" for more details.

map:
encryption_passcommand:
type: scalar
desc: |
The standard output of this command is used to unlock the encryption key. Only
use on repositories that were initialized with passcommand/repokey encryption.
Note that if both encryption_passcommand and encryption_passphrase are set,
then encryption_passphrase takes precedence.
example: "secret-tool lookup borg-repository repo-name"
encryption_passphrase:
type: scalar
desc: |
Passphrase to unlock the encryption key with. Only use on repositories that were
initialized with passphrase/repokey encryption. Quote the value if it contains
punctuation, so it parses correctly. And backslash any quote or backslash
literals as well.
example: "!\"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~"
checkpoint_interval:
type: int
desc: |
Number of seconds between each checkpoint during a long-running backup. See

desc: |
Name of the archive. Borg placeholders can be used. See the output of
"borg help placeholders" for details. Default is
"{hostname}-{now:%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f}". If you specify this option, you must
also specify a prefix in the retention section to avoid accidental pruning of
archives with a different archive name format. And you should also specify a
prefix in the consistency section as well.
example: "{hostname}-documents-{now}"
retention:
desc: |
Retention policy for how many backups to keep in each category. See
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.org/en/stable/usage.html#borg-prune for details.
At least one of the "keep" options is required for pruning to work.

prefix:
type: scalar
desc: |
When pruning, only consider archive names starting with this prefix.
Borg placeholders can be used. See the output of "borg help placeholders" for
details. Default is "{hostname}-".
example: sourcehostname
consistency:
desc: |
Consistency checks to run after backups. See
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.org/en/stable/usage.html#borg-check and
https://borgbackup.readthedocs.org/en/stable/usage.html#borg-extract for details.
map:
checks:
seq:
- type: str
enum: ['repository', 'archives', 'extract', 'disabled']
unique: true
desc: |
List of one or more consistency checks to run: "repository", "archives", and/or
"extract". Defaults to "repository" and "archives". Set to "disabled" to disable
all consistency checks. "repository" checks the consistency of the repository,
"archive" checks all of the archives, and "extract" does an extraction dry-run
of just the most recent archive.
example:
- repository
- archives
check_repositories:
seq:
- type: scalar
desc: |
Paths to a subset of the repositories in the location section on which to run
consistency checks. Handy in case some of your repositories are very large, and
so running consistency checks on them would take too long. Defaults to running
consistency checks on all repositories configured in the location section.
example:
- user@backupserver:sourcehostname.borg
check_last:
type: int
desc: Restrict the number of checked archives to the last n. Applies only to the
"archives" check.

prefix:
type: scalar
desc: |
When performing the "archives" check, only consider archive names starting with

"borg help placeholders" for details. Default is "{hostname}-".
example: sourcehostname
hooks:
desc: |
Shell commands or scripts to execute before and after a backup or if an error has occurred.
IMPORTANT: All provided commands and scripts are executed with user permissions of borgmatic.
Do not forget to set secure permissions on this file as well as on any script listed (chmod 0700) to
prevent potential shell injection or privilege escalation.
map:
before_backup:
seq:
- type: scalar
desc: List of one or more shell commands or scripts to execute before creating a backup.
example:
- echo "`date` - Starting a backup job."
after_backup:

example:
- echo "`date` - Backup created."
on_error:
seq:
- type: scalar
desc: List of one or more shell commands or scripts to execute in case an exception has occurred.
