Borg 2 is currently in beta, and has a number of breaking changes that borgmatic will need to support:

  • borg transfer to transition 1.x repositories to the new 2.0 repo format.
  • Specify repository with new -r flag instead of :: syntax:
    • prune
    • compact
    • create
    • check
    • extract
    • export-tar
    • mount
    • umount
    • restore
    • list
    • info
    • borg
  • Replace use of --prefix with --glob-archives, e.g. --glob-archives 'myprefix*'.
    • prune
    • check
    • info
    • rlist
    • list
  • Specify archive with new positional parameter for most Borg sub-commands instead of :: syntax.
  • Specify archive with --glob-archives flag with a glob matching multiple archives for certain Borg sub-commands, e.g. borg delete --glob-archives 'myarchive*' or borg recreate --glob-archives 'myarchive*'.
  • scp style repository syntax is gone in favor of ssh://.
  • Repository sub-commands have been split off into new commands:
    • init -> rcreate
    • list -> rlist
    • info -> rinfo
  • Other Borg sub-commands may have changed as well. Audit and update the following borgmatic actions:
    • prune
    • compact
    • create
    • check
    • extract
    • export-tar
    • mount
    • umount
    • restore
    • list
    • info
    • borg
  • borg rcreate --other-repo flag and any additional new flags.
  • borg upgrade has been removed. (Wasn't wrapped by borgmatic.)
  • borg compact --cleanup-commits flag has been removed. (Going to leave it in place. If a user uses it with borgmatic and Borg 2, they'll get the same error they'll get when they use --cleanup-commits with Borg 2 directly.)
  • Replace --remote-ratelimit with --upload-ratelimit. Rename remote_rate_limit configuration option to upload_rate_limit as well.
  • Replace --numeric-owner with --numeric-ids. Rename numeric_owner configuration option to numeric_ids as well.
  • Replace --nobsdflags with --noflags. Rename bsd_flags configuration option to `flags as well.
  • Replace --noatime (the default now) with --atime. Fortunately, the configuration option is already atime.
  • Audit documentation for any changes needed that haven't already been made.

It's unclear at this point if the right approach is a breaking change release (e.g. borgmatic 2) that only supports Borg 2 ... or somehow make one version of borgmatic that supports both Borg 1.x and 2 simultaneously.

Also unclear on this. Best to wait for the actual changes. For now the new arguments aren't finalized. Were just discussing on what to do with archive names today. They don't add a whole lot of value currently.

Okay, good to know! Given how much borgmatic does its own thing with repository/archive syntax, it wouldn't be impossible to map that to whatever Borg settles on.

With Borg 2 in beta, I began work on this in a branch. My current hypothesis is that borgmatic can support both Borg 1 and 2 simultaneously with the same version of code. Whether that approach remains feasible depends on how things go with the rest of the implementation. If it turns out that it's too much of a hassle, then I'll instead make a breaking change release that only supports Borg 2.

Great list! Adjusted it a bit for use with Vorta: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/issues/1366

How do you plan on getting the Borg version at the very start? Vorta runs borg version and then we have a dict of available features. https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/blob/master/src/vorta/borg/_compatibility.py

Yeah, borgmatic is already running borg version in a similar manner on start with feature lookup inspired by that Vorta code! See: https://projects.torsion.org/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic/src/branch/borg-2/borgmatic/borg/feature.py

Unrelated edit: I neglected to properly tag the following changesets with this ticket number:

Congrats! Need to look at that commit how you ended up supporting 2 versions.
