What I'm trying to do and why

Sometimes it's nice to be able to run backups while working, but to do so, I would like to be able to set nice and ionice levels for borg. I could certainly just run borgmatic under nice/ionice, but it would be easier if those priorities could be configured in the borgmatic configuration file like everything else.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Thanks for filing this! If you're using systemd, this is included in the sample systemd configuration: https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic/raw/branch/master/sample/systemd/borgmatic.service

Does that work for your needs?

Thanks for the (very) quick response!

I haven't set up borgmatic with systemd yet, but I plan to, so this definitely solves the issue.

There seem to be similar settings available for launchd, so this technique should also work for macOS.
