@@ -76,6 +76,11 @@ borgmatic created temporary streaming database dumps within the `~/.borgmatic`
directory by default. At that time, the path was configurable by the

to `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, borgmatic also uses the `TMPDIR` or `TEMP` environment
variable if set. `TMPDIR` is available on macOS, while `TEMP` is often
available on other platforms.

`read_special` configuration option (even if it's disabled in your
configuration) to support this dump and restore streaming. See Limitations
