Having a similar problem on Fedora (which it appears you're also running). Not sure if I should post here or start a new issue. Seems more like the the file manager (Nautilus) is at fault here.…
Apologies for the late update! Automated backups using systemd timers are working flawlessly /etc/systemd/system/now that I've solved the permissions issues on the ssh keypair generation side of…
Things are looking really good! backup was completed successfully, really appreciate the help. Silly mistake on my part. I'll try to automate with a systemd timer and see how it goes from there.
ran sudo borg break-lock @.repo.borgbase.com:repo
then ran sudo borgmatic create but its been running for a couple of minutes without any logging or results.
Feel like I'm getting closer. I generated an ssh key as root and replaced the old key with the new one (through the borgbase gui). Didnt create a new repository just replaced the keys. I then edited…
Thanks again for your patience and for dealing with any unintended headaches, this is what I had done (through the borgbase website gui) but no luck there. Do I need to run ssh-keygen -o -a 100 -t…
Yes, I've tried that, password I set when I initialized the repository doesnt work.

Apologies for the late response, I think part of the problem is that I am following 2-3 different guides. The guides that borgbackup provides, the guides that the cloud repo provider (BorgBase)…
Overlooked that as I used the borgmatic configuration file automatically generated by the borgbase setup wizard which did not include that stanza. Used the borgmatic config provided by borgmatic and…
Another update, with my last install, a status check on the service/timer revealed that the timer failed due to the fact that no valid borgmatic configuration files could be found. I performed…
I made an error the first time by copying the files manually even though borgmatic installed through package manager already installs them in their desired locations. Attempting to correct my error,…
I ran sudo systemctl daemon-reload and then proceeded with " sudo systemctl enable --now borgmatic.timer but I'm getting the same Failed to start borgmatic.timer: Unit borgmatic.timer not found."…
Sincerest apologies for the late reply, I've since reinstalled all packages but I'm running into an entirely different problem time time around in that when I try to enable the borgmatic timer using…
Thank you so much. deleted the key pairs,the repository and started all over, borgmatic works flawlessly now. However I'm having problems automating with both crontabs and systemd timers. Judging…
