borgmatic 2.1.9
Stablereleased this
2026-09-25 22:53:31 +00:00 | 20 commits to main since this release- #951: For the PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and MySQL database hooks, support globs in configured database

borgmatic 2.1.8 Stable
released this
2026-09-18 17:21:11 +00:00 | 26 commits to main since this release- #450: Add an InfluxDB database hook for dumping and restoring InfluxDB 1 and 2 databases. See the
documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/data-sources/influxdb/ - #1332: For the MongoDB hook, add a "password_transport" option for customizing how borgmatic
transmits passwords to the database client. See the documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/data-sources/mongodb/ - #1345: Add a 1Password credential hook for loading credentials from the 1Password CLI. See the
documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/credentials/onepassword/ - #1346: Add an OpenLDAP database hook for dumping and restoring OpenLDAP databases with slapcat
and slapadd. See the documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/data-sources/openldap/ - #1348: Add support for "rest://" repository URLs introduced in Borg 2.0.0b22.
- #1348: BREAKING: For the "prune" action, remove Borg 2's "--oldest", "--newest", "--older", and
"--newer" flags, as Borg 2.0.0b22 has removed them. - #1348: For the "prune" action, add support for Borg 2's "--from" flag.
- #1349: Fix for Borg 2.0.0b23 dropping support for the "--remote-path" flag in favor of an
environment variable. - #1349: Document the "upload_rate_limit" and "upload_buffer_size" option as Borg 1.x only.
- #1340: For the
--repairflag on thecheckaction, don't attempt to runborg infofirst,
as it can fail on a corrupted repository—like the kind you might by trying to repair. Also ignore
any check frequency/days configuration and skip recording check timestamps. - #1352: Fix a hang in which PostgreSQL child processes prevented borgmatic from exiting when Borg
errored out. - #1353: Fix for soft failures in command hooks incorrectly being treated as hard failures,
resulting in monitoring ping fails. - For the "user_runtime_directory" option and the "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" environment variable, create a
temporary directory for borgmatic within the given runtime directory. This makes cleanup easier
and prevents unintentional runtime file reuse across borgmatic runs.

borgmatic 2.1.7
Stablereleased this
2026-08-14 19:20:14 +00:00 | 117 commits to main since this release- #1309: Add support for the "--quick-stats" flag and the "quick_statistics" option to the "prune"
action. Borg >= 1.4.5 and < 2 only. - #1310: For the "bootstrap" action, provide a more helpful error message when borgmatic can't
determine the latest archive. - #1317: Add an "archive_hostname" option and a corresponding "--archive-hostname" flag for
overriding the hostname used for the "{hostname}" placeholder in the "archive_name_format"
option. Also add an "archive_username" option and corresponding "--archive-username" flag to
override the "{user}" placeholder. Both options/flags are Borg 1.4.5+ only. - #1319: Fix the ZFS hook's overzealous unmounting of snapshot paths when a source dataset is at
"/". - #1322: Fix for the "restore" action sometimes failing to find a database dump that was dumped
with a default port. - #1324: For the MariaDB and MySQL hooks, add "events", "routines", and "tablespaces" options for
disabling dumping of scheduled events, stored routines, and tablespaces, respectively. - #1327: Fix an error from the "diff" action when exclude options are configured.
- #1331: Fix the "repo-create" action to more surgically suppress Borg "Repository does not exist"
logs and avoid inadvertently suppressing other error logs. - #1333: Fix the "--progress" flag on the "compact" action to actually update the progress of
segment compaction. - #1334: Add the "CAP_FOWNER" capability to "CapabilityBoundingSet" in the sample systemd service,
so that Borg can open source files without changing file access times. - #1336: Fix for the "bootstrap" action ignoring the "--verbosity" flag when no configuration is
present. - #1335: Add a Watchgoose monitoring hook. See the documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/monitoring/watchgoose/ - BREAKING: Remove the Cronhub monitoring hook, as Cronhub has shut down.
- Fix a bug in which the "compact" action does not pass a compact threshold of zero to Borg.

Stablereleased this
2026-06-01 22:52:45 +00:00 | 145 commits to main since this release- #1256: Fix a race condition in which borgmatic sometimes swallows Borg error output without
logging it. - #1300: Fix the "source_directories_must_exist" option to support source directories relative to a
"working_directory". - #1301: Expand the "patterns_from" and "exclude_from" options to support paths containing tildes
and globs. - #1303: For the MariaDB and MySQL database hooks, include events, routines, and tablespaces when
dumping a database. - #1303: For the MariaDB hook, include only a subset of system data when dumping the "mysql" system
database (or "all" databases), so the dump is actually restorable. See the documentation for more
information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/data-sources/mariadb/ - #1308: Update the Apprise monitoring hook's "url" option to support loading credentials with the
"{credential ...}" syntax. See the documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/credentials/ - #1309: Add a "--quick-stats" flag and corresponding "quick_statistics" option for showing only
abbreviated statistics for the "create" action. Borg 1.4.5+ only. - #1314: Add a minimal stand-alone borgmatic binary in addition to the standard one. The minimal
binary omits support for the Apprise monitoring hook. - Add an experimental "browse" action providing a console UI for browsing your backups. See the
documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/how-to/inspect-your-backups/#browsing-backups - Update the KeePassXC credential hook to support KeePassXC's secret service integration. See the
documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/credentials/keepassxc/ - Add the NEWS changelog file to release tarball (#1298).
- Enable reply by email on projects.torsion.org, so replies to notification emails get posted as
comments on tickets. - For the MariaDB and MySQL database hooks, escape quotes in passwords when the
"password_transport" option is "pipe". - Add a development script for upgrading pinned dependencies.

information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/configuration/monitoring/loki/ - #1292: Fix a "source directories do not exist" regression when configuration paths are relative
symlinks and the bootstrap data source hook is enabled. - #1294: Fix a regression in which SSH warnings from remote repositories broke the "spot" check
and other actions as well. - #1295: Fix the ZFS hook to properly unmount snapshots for empty datasets.

borgmatic 2.1.4
Stablereleased this
2026-04-06 02:57:22 +00:00 | 251 commits to main since this release- #1266: Add a stand-alone borgmatic Linux binary to the release downloads to serve as another way
to install borgmatic. Consider this binary a beta feature. - #1286: Fix a regression in which running borgmatic with no arguments and no configuration files
doesn't error as expected. - #1257: Fix for the Loki monitoring hook not respecting the monitoring verbosity.
- #1264: Improve performance of the "info" and "repo-list" actions by eliminating a second "borg
info" call that supports a "no matching archives" warning. The warning still occurs; it's just
done now without the extra "borg info" call. - #1268: Fix the "spot" check, "extract" check, and all uses of the archive name "latest" to
respect the "match_archives" and "archives_name_format" options. This means that borgmatic now
uses the "latest" archive that also matches those options instead of the latest archive overall. - When Borg exits with a warning exit code, show a description of it, so you don't have to look up
the code. - Split out borgmatic installation documentation to its own page, so it's easier to find.
- Switch the default borgmatic installation method from pipx to uv, as uv is faster and used for
borgmatic development. If you'd like to switch, see the documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/how-to/upgrade/ - Move the project tracker from Gitea to Forgejo.
- Fix a regression in which borgmatic didn't show an error message when run with no configuration.
- Fix a traceback in the "spot" check with Borg 2.

Stablereleased this
2026-03-06 18:19:42 +00:00 | 277 commits to main since this release- #1175: Add a "files_changed" option for customizing Borg's file modification detection.
- #1175: Add a "msgpack_version_check" option to prevent Borg from validating msgpack's version.
- #1218: Add a "config show" action to display computed borgmatic configuration as YAML or JSON,
handy for fetching borgmatic configuration from external scripts. See the documentation for more
information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/reference/command-line/actions/config-show/ - #1228: Adjust the "spot" check so error output includes more information about what failed.
- #1236: Fix the "spot" check to skip hard links, as Borg doesn't produces hashes for them.
- #1243: Add a "diff" action for viewing the difference between the contents of two archives.
- #1248: Go back to treating Borg "file not found" warnings (exit code 107) as
warnings instead of errors. Otherwise, borgmatic can error on files that a user intentionally
deletes while a backup is running. You can still override this behavior with the
"borg_exit_codes" option. See the documentation for more information:
https://torsion.org/borgmatic/how-to/customize-warnings-and-errors/ - #1248: Un-deprecate the "source_directories_must_exist" option and default it to true, to
compensate for Borg "file not found" warnings no longer being treated as errors. - #1269: Fix the ZFS hook to support datasets with a "canmount" property of "noauto".
- #1270: Follow symlinks when backing up borgmatic configuration files to support the "bootstrap"
action. - #1274: Add an optional override for the documentation development listen port and use Podman
Compose if present. - #1281: Fix a unicode error when backing up a non-UTF-8 source filename with a
corresponding system locale. - Add a policy about the use of generative AI in the borgmatic codebase:

Stablereleased this
2026-02-06 20:53:27 +00:00 | 326 commits to main since this release- #1231: If a source file is deleted during a "spot" check, consider the file as non-matching
and move on instead of immediately failing the entire check. - #1250: Fix a regression in which the "--stats" flag hides statistics at default verbosity.
- #1251: Fix a regression in the ntfy monitoring hook in which borgmatic sends tags incorrectly,
resulting in "400 Bad Request" from ntfy. - #1258: Fix a "codec can't decode byte" error when running commands that output multi-byte unicode
characters. - #1260: Fix for SSH warnings from Borg showing up as JSON logs even without the "--log-json" flag.
- #1252: Work around Borg returning a warning exit code when a repository/archive check fails. Now,
borgmatic interprets such failures as errors. - Deduplicate overlapping source directories and patterns so they don't throw off "spot" check file
counts and cause spurious check failures.
