+1.6.3.dev0
+ * #541: Add "borgmatic list --find" flag for searching for files across multiple archives, useful
+   for hunting down that file you accidentally deleted so you can extract it. See the documentation
+   for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/inspect-your-backups/#searching-for-a-file
+ * Deprecate "borgmatic list --successful" flag, as listing only non-checkpoint (successful)
+   archives is now the default in newer versions of Borg.
+
+1.6.2
+ * #523: Reduce the default consistency check frequency and support configuring the frequency
+   independently for each check. Also add "borgmatic check --force" flag to ignore configured
+   frequencies. See the documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/deal-with-very-large-backups/#check-frequency
+ * #536: Fix generate-borgmatic-config to support more complex schema changes like the new
+   Healthchecks configuration options when the "--source" flag is used.
+ * #538: Add support for "borgmatic borg debug" command.
+ * #539: Add "generate-borgmatic-config --overwrite" flag to replace an existing destination file.
+ * Add Bash completion script so you can tab-complete the borgmatic command-line. See the
+   documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/#shell-completion
+
+1.6.1
+ * #294: Add Healthchecks monitoring hook "ping_body_limit" option to configure how many bytes of
+   logs to send to the Healthchecks server.
+ * #402: Remove the error when "archive_name_format" is specified but a retention prefix isn't. 
+ * #420: Warn when an unsupported variable is used in a hook command.
+ * #439: Change connection failures for monitoring hooks (Healthchecks, Cronitor, PagerDuty, and
+   Cronhub) to be warnings instead of errors. This way, the monitoring system failing does not block
+   backups.
+ * #460: Add Healthchecks monitoring hook "send_logs" option to enable/disable sending borgmatic
+   logs to the Healthchecks server.
+ * #525: Add Healthchecks monitoring hook "states" option to only enable pinging for particular
+   monitoring states (start, finish, fail).
+ * #528: Improve the error message when a configuration override contains an invalid value.
+ * #531: BREAKING: When deep merging common configuration, merge colliding list values by appending
+   them. Previously, one list replaced the other.
+ * #532: When a configuration include is a relative path, load it from either the current working
+   directory or from the directory containing the file doing the including. Previously, only the
+   working directory was used.
+ * Add a randomized delay to the sample systemd timer to spread out the load on a server.
+ * Change the configuration format for borgmatic monitoring hooks (Healthchecks, Cronitor,
+   PagerDuty, and Cronhub) to specify the ping URL / integration key as a named option. The intent
+   is to support additional options (some in this release). This change is backwards-compatible.
+ * Add emojis to documentation table of contents to make it easier to find particular how-to and
+   reference guides at a glance.
+
+1.6.0
+ * #381: BREAKING: Greatly simplify configuration file reuse by deep merging when including common
+   configuration. See the documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-per-application-backups/#include-merging
+ * #473: BREAKING: Instead of executing "before" command hooks before all borgmatic actions run (and
+   "after" hooks after), execute these hooks right before/after the corresponding action. E.g.,
+   "before_check" now runs immediately before the "check" action. This better supports running
+   timing-sensitive tasks like pausing containers. Side effect: before/after command hooks now run
+   once for each configured repository instead of once per configuration file. Additionally, the
+   "repositories" interpolated variable has been changed to "repository", containing the path to the
+   current repository for the hook. See the documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/
+ * #513: Add mention of sudo's "secure_path" option to borgmatic installation documentation.
+ * #515: Fix "borgmatic borg key ..." to pass parameters to Borg in the correct order.
+ * #516: Fix handling of TERM signal to exit borgmatic, not just forward the signal to Borg.
+ * #517: Fix borgmatic exit code (so it's zero) when initial Borg calls fail but later retries
+   succeed.
+ * Change Healthchecks logs truncation size from 10k bytes to 100k bytes, corresponding to that
+   same change on Healthchecks.io.
+
+1.5.24
+ * #431: Add "working_directory" option to support source directories with relative paths.
+ * #444: When loading a configuration file that is unreadable due to file permissions, warn instead
+   of erroring. This supports running borgmatic as a non-root user with configuration in ~/.config
+   even if there is an unreadable global configuration file in /etc.
+ * #469: Add "repositories" context to "before_*" and "after_*" command action hooks. See the
+   documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/
+ * #486: Fix handling of "patterns_from" and "exclude_from" options to error instead of warning when
+   referencing unreadable files and "create" action is run.
+ * #507: Fix Borg usage error in the "compact" action when running "borgmatic --dry-run". Now, skip
+   "compact" entirely during a dry run.
+
+1.5.23
+ * #394: Compact repository segments and free space with new "borgmatic compact" action. Borg 1.2+
+   only. Also run "compact" by default when no actions are specified, as "prune" in Borg 1.2 no
+   longer frees up space unless "compact" is run.
+ * #394: When using the "atime", "bsd_flags", "numeric_owner", or "remote_rate_limit" options,
+   tailor the flags passed to Borg depending on the Borg version.
+ * #480, #482: Fix traceback when a YAML validation error occurs.
+
+1.5.22
+ * #288: Add database dump hook for MongoDB.
+ * #470: Move mysqldump options to the beginning of the command due to MySQL bug 30994.
+ * #471: When command-line configuration override produces a parse error, error cleanly instead of
+   tracebacking.
+ * #476: Fix unicode error when restoring particular MySQL databases.
+ * Drop support for Python 3.6, which has been end-of-lifed.
+ * Add support for Python 3.10.
+
+1.5.21
+ * #28: Optionally retry failing backups via "retries" and "retry_wait" configuration options.
+ * #306: Add "list_options" MySQL configuration option for passing additional arguments to MySQL
+   list command.
+ * #459: Add support for old version (2.x) of jsonschema library.
+
+1.5.20
+ * Re-release with correct version without dev0 tag.
+
+1.5.19
+ * #387: Fix error when configured source directories are not present on the filesystem at the time
+   of backup. Now, Borg will complain, but the backup will still continue.
+ * #455: Mention changing borgmatic path in cron documentation.
+ * Update sample systemd service file with more granular read-only filesystem settings.
+ * Move Gitea and GitHub hosting from a personal namespace to an organization for better
+   collaboration with related projects.
+ * 1k ★s on GitHub!
+
+1.5.18
+ * #389: Fix "message too long" error when logging to rsyslog.
+ * #440: Fix traceback that can occur when dumping a database.
+
+1.5.17
+ * #437: Fix error when configuration file contains "umask" option.
+ * Remove test dependency on vim and /dev/urandom.
+
+1.5.16
+ * #379: Suppress console output in sample crontab and systemd service files.
+ * #407: Fix syslog logging on FreeBSD.
+ * #430: Fix hang when restoring a PostgreSQL "tar" format database dump.
+ * Better error messages! Switch the library used for validating configuration files (from pykwalify
+   to jsonschema).
+ * Link borgmatic Ansible role from installation documentation:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/#other-ways-to-install
+
+1.5.15
+ * #419: Document use case of running backups conditionally based on laptop power level:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/backup-to-a-removable-drive-or-an-intermittent-server/
+ * #425: Run arbitrary Borg commands with new "borgmatic borg" action. See the documentation for
+   more information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/run-arbitrary-borg-commands/
+
+1.5.14
+ * #390: Add link to Hetzner storage offering from the documentation.
+ * #398: Clarify canonical home of borgmatic in documentation.
+ * #406: Clarify that spaces in path names should not be backslashed in path names.
+ * #423: Fix error handling to error loudly when Borg gets killed due to running out of memory!
+ * Fix build so as not to attempt to build and push documentation for a non-master branch.
+ * "Fix" build failure with Alpine Edge by switching from Edge to Alpine 3.13.
+ * Move #borgmatic IRC channel from Freenode to Libera Chat due to Freenode takeover drama.
+   IRC connection info: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#issues
+
+1.5.13
+ * #373: Document that passphrase is used for Borg keyfile encryption, not just repokey encryption.
+ * #404: Add support for ruamel.yaml 0.17.x YAML parsing library.
+ * Update systemd service example to return a permission error when a system call isn't permitted
+   (instead of terminating borgmatic outright).
+ * Drop support for Python 3.5, which has been end-of-lifed.
+ * Add support for Python 3.9.
+ * Update versions of test dependencies (test_requirements.txt and test containers).
+ * Only support black code formatter on Python 3.8+. New black dependencies make installation
+   difficult on older versions of Python.
+ * Replace "improve this documentation" form with link to support and ticket tracker.
+
+1.5.12
+ * Fix for previous release with incorrect version suffix in setup.py. No other changes.
+
+1.5.11
+ * #341: Add "temporary_directory" option for changing Borg's temporary directory.
+ * #352: Lock down systemd security settings in sample systemd service file.
+ * #355: Fix traceback when a database hook value is null in a configuration file.
+ * #361: Merge override values when specifying the "--override" flag multiple times. The previous
+   behavior was to take the value of the last "--override" flag only.
+ * #367: Fix traceback when upgrading old INI-style configuration with upgrade-borgmatic-config.
+ * #368: Fix signal forwarding from borgmatic to Borg resulting in recursion traceback.
+ * #369: Document support for Borg placeholders in repository names.
+
+1.5.10
+ * #347: Add hooks that run for the "extract" action: "before_extract" and "after_extract".
+ * #350: Fix traceback when a configuration directory is non-readable due to directory permissions.
+ * Add documentation navigation links on left side of all documentation pages.
+ * Clarify documentation on configuration overrides, specifically the portion about list syntax:
+   http://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-per-application-backups/#configuration-overrides
+ * Clarify documentation overview of monitoring options:
+   http://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/
+
+1.5.9
+ * #300: Add "borgmatic export-tar" action to export an archive to a tar-formatted file or stream.
+ * #339: Fix for intermittent timing-related test failure of logging function.
+ * Clarify database documentation about excluding named pipes and character/block devices to prevent
+   hangs.
+ * Add documentation on how to make backups redundant with multiple repositories:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-backups-redundant/
+
+1.5.8
+ * #336: Fix for traceback when running Cronitor, Cronhub, and PagerDuty monitor hooks.
+
+1.5.7
+ * #327: Fix broken pass-through of BORG_* environment variables to Borg.
+ * #328: Fix duplicate logging to Healthchecks and send "after_*" hooks output to Healthchecks.
+ * #331: Add SSL support to PostgreSQL database configuration.
+ * #333: Fix for potential data loss (data not getting backed up) when borgmatic omitted configured
+   source directories in certain situations. Specifically, this occurred when two source directories
+   on different filesystems were related by parentage (e.g. "/foo" and "/foo/bar/baz") and the
+   one_file_system option was enabled.
+ * Update documentation code fragments theme to better match the rest of the page.
+ * Improve configuration reference documentation readability via more aggressive word-wrapping in
+   configuration schema descriptions.
+
+1.5.6
+ * #292: Allow before_backup and similiar hooks to exit with a soft failure without altering the
+   monitoring status on Healthchecks or other providers. Support this by waiting to ping monitoring
+   services with a "start" status until after before_* hooks finish. Failures in before_* hooks
+   still trigger a monitoring "fail" status.
+ * #316: Fix hang when a stale database dump named pipe from an aborted borgmatic run remains on
+   disk.
+ * #323: Fix for certain configuration options like ssh_command impacting Borg invocations for
+   separate configuration files.
+ * #324: Add "borgmatic extract --strip-components" flag to remove leading path components when
+   extracting an archive.
+ * Tweak comment indentation in generated configuration file for clarity.
+ * Link to Borgmacator GNOME AppIndicator from monitoring documentation.
+
+1.5.5
+ * #314: Fix regression in support for PostgreSQL's "directory" dump format. Unlike other dump
+   formats, the "directory" dump format does not stream directly to/from Borg.
+ * #315: Fix enabled database hooks to implicitly set one_file_system configuration option to true.
+   This prevents Borg from reading devices like /dev/zero and hanging.
+ * #316: Fix hang when streaming a database dump to Borg with implicit duplicate source directories
+   by deduplicating them first.
+ * #319: Fix error message when there are no MySQL databases to dump for "all" databases.
+ * Improve documentation around the installation process. Specifically, making borgmatic commands
+   runnable via the system PATH and offering a global install option.
+
+1.5.4
+ * #310: Fix legitimate database dump command errors (exit code 1) not being treated as errors by
+   borgmatic.
+ * For database dumps, replace the named pipe on every borgmatic run. This prevent hangs on stale
+   pipes left over from previous runs.
+ * Fix error handling to handle more edge cases when executing commands.
+
+1.5.3
+ * #258: Stream database dumps and restores directly to/from Borg without using any additional
+   filesystem space. This feature is automatic, and works even on restores from archives made with
+   previous versions of borgmatic.
+ * #293: Documentation on macOS launchd permissions issues with work-around for Full Disk Access.
+ * Remove "borgmatic restore --progress" flag, as it now conflicts with streaming database restores.
+
+1.5.2
+ * #301: Fix MySQL restore error on "all" database dump by excluding system tables.
+ * Fix PostgreSQL restore error on "all" database dump by using "psql" for the restore instead of
+   "pg_restore".
+
+1.5.1
+ * #289: Tired of looking up the latest successful archive name in order to pass it to borgmatic
+   actions? Me too. Now you can specify "--archive latest" to all actions that accept an archive
+   flag.
+ * #290: Fix the "--stats" and "--files" flags so that they yield output at verbosity 0.
+ * Reduce the default verbosity of borgmatic logs sent to Healthchecks monitoring hook. Now, it's
+   warnings and errors only. You can increase the verbosity via the "--monitoring-verbosity" flag.
+ * Add security policy documentation in SECURITY.md.
+
+1.5.0
+ * #245: Monitor backups with PagerDuty hook integration. See the documentation for more
+   information: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#pagerduty-hook
+ * #255: Add per-action hooks: "before_prune", "after_prune", "before_check", and "after_check".
+ * #274: Add ~/.config/borgmatic.d as another configuration directory default.
+ * #277: Customize Healthchecks log level via borgmatic "--monitoring-verbosity" flag.
+ * #280: Change "exclude_if_present" option to support multiple filenames that indicate a directory
+   should be excluded from backups, rather than just a single filename.
+ * #284: Backup to a removable drive or intermittent server via "soft failure" feature. See the
+   documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/backup-to-a-removable-drive-or-an-intermittent-server/
+ * #287: View consistency check progress via "--progress" flag for "check" action.
+ * For "create" and "prune" actions, no longer list files or show detailed stats at any verbosities
+   by default. You can opt back in with "--files" or "--stats" flags.
+ * For "list" and "info" actions, show repository names even at verbosity 0.
+
+1.4.22
+ * #276, #285: Disable colored output when "--json" flag is used, so as to produce valid JSON ouput.
+ * After a backup of a database dump in directory format, properly remove the dump directory.
+ * In "borgmatic --help", don't expand $HOME in listing of default "--config" paths.
+
+1.4.21
+ * #268: Override particular configuration options from the command-line via "--override" flag. See
+   the documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-per-application-backups/#configuration-overrides
+ * #270: Only trigger "on_error" hooks and monitoring failures for "prune", "create", and "check"
+   actions, and not for other actions.
+ * When pruning with verbosity level 1, list pruned and kept archives. Previously, this information
+   was only shown at verbosity level 2.
+
+1.4.20
+ * Fix repository probing during "borgmatic init" to respect verbosity flag and remote_path option.
+ * #249: Update Healthchecks/Cronitor/Cronhub monitoring integrations to fire for "check" and
+   "prune" actions, not just "create".
+
+1.4.19
+ * #259: Optionally change the internal database dump path via "borgmatic_source_directory" option
+   in location configuration section.
+ * #271: Support piping "borgmatic list" output to grep by logging certain log levels to console
+   stdout and others to stderr.
+ * Retain colored output when piping or redirecting in an interactive terminal.
+ * Add end-to-end tests for database dump and restore. These are run on developer machines with
+   Docker Compose for approximate parity with continuous integration tests.
+
+1.4.18
+ * Fix "--repository" flag to accept relative paths.
+ * Fix "borgmatic umount" so it only runs Borg once instead of once per repository / configuration
+   file.
+ * #253: Mount whole repositories via "borgmatic mount" without any "--archive" flag.
+ * #269: Filter listed paths via "borgmatic list --path" flag.
+
+1.4.17
+ * #235: Pass extra options directly to particular Borg commands, handy for Borg options that
+   borgmatic does not yet support natively. Use "extra_borg_options" in the storage configuration
+   section.
+ * #266: Attempt to repair any inconsistencies found during a consistency check via
+   "borgmatic check --repair" flag.
+
+1.4.16
+ * #256: Fix for "before_backup" hook not triggering an error when the command contains "borg" and
+   has an exit code of 1.
+ * #257: Fix for garbled Borg file listing when using "borgmatic create --progress" with
+   verbosity level 1 or 2.
+ * #260: Fix for missing Healthchecks monitoring payload or HTTP 500 due to incorrect unicode
+   encoding.
+
+1.4.15
+ * Fix for database dump removal incorrectly skipping some database dumps.
+ * #123: Support for mounting an archive as a FUSE filesystem via "borgmatic mount" action, and
+   unmounting via "borgmatic umount". See the documentation for more information:
+   https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/extract-a-backup/#mount-a-filesystem
+
+1.4.14
+ * Show summary log errors regardless of verbosity level, and log the "summary:" header with a log
+   level based on the contained summary logs.
+
+1.4.13
+ * Show full error logs at "--verbosity 0" so you can see command output without upping the
+   verbosity level.
+
+1.4.12
+ * #247: With "borgmatic check", consider Borg warnings as errors.
+ * Dial back the display of inline error logs a bit, so failed command output doesn't appear
+   multiple times in the logs (well, except for the summary).
+
+1.4.11
+ * #241: When using the Healthchecks monitoring hook, include borgmatic logs in the payloads for
+   completion and failure pings.
+ * With --verbosity level 1 or 2, show error logs both inline when they occur and in the summary
+   logs at the bottom. With lower verbosity levels, suppress the summary and show error logs when
+   they occur.
+
+1.4.10
+ * #246: Fix for "borgmatic restore" showing success and incorrectly extracting archive files, even

-## Overview
+## It's your data. Keep it that way.
 
-borgmatic (formerly atticmatic) is a simple Python wrapper script for the
-[Borg](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.org/en/stable/) backup software that
-initiates a backup, prunes any old backups according to a retention policy,
-and validates backups for consistency. The script supports specifying your
-settings in a declarative configuration file rather than having to put them
-all on the command-line, and handles common errors.

-## Installation
+borgmatic is powered by [Borg Backup](https://www.borgbackup.org/).
 
-To get up and running, follow the [Borg Quick
-Start](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html) to create
-a repository on a local or remote host. Note that if you plan to run borgmatic
-on a schedule with cron, and you encrypt your Borg repository with a
-passphrase instead of a key file, you'll either need to set the borgmatic
-`encryption_passphrase` configuration variable or set the `BORG_PASSPHRASE`
-environment variable. See the [repository encryption
-section](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#repository-encryption)
-of the Quick Start for more info.
+## Integrations
 
-If the repository is on a remote host, make sure that your local root user has
-key-based ssh access to the desired user account on the remote host.

-To install borgmatic, run the following command to download and install it:
 
-```bash
-sudo pip3 install --upgrade borgmatic
-```
+## Getting started
 
-Note that your pip binary may have a different name than "pip3". Make sure
-you're using Python 3, as borgmatic does not support Python 2.
+Your first step is to [install and configure
+borgmatic](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/).
 
-### Docker
+For additional documentation, check out the links above for <a
+href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#documentation">borgmatic how-to and
+reference guides</a>.
 
-If you would like to run borgmatic within Docker, please take a look at
-[b3vis/borgmatic](https://hub.docker.com/r/b3vis/borgmatic/) for more
-information.
 
-## Configuration
+## Hosting providers
 
-After you install borgmatic, generate a sample configuration file:
+Need somewhere to store your encrypted off-site backups? The following hosting
+providers include specific support for Borg/borgmatic—and fund borgmatic
+development and hosting when you use these links to sign up. (These are
+referral links, but without any tracking scripts or cookies.)
 
-```bash
-sudo generate-borgmatic-config
-```
+<ul>
+ <li class="referral"><a href="https://www.borgbase.com/?utm_source=borgmatic">BorgBase</a>: Borg hosting service with support for monitoring, 2FA, and append-only repos</li>
+</ul>
 
-This generates a sample configuration file at /etc/borgmatic/config.yaml (by
-default). You should edit the file to suit your needs, as the values are just
-representative. All fields are optional except where indicated, so feel free
-to remove anything you don't need.
+Additionally, [rsync.net](https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html) and
+[Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box) have compatible storage
+offerings, but do not currently fund borgmatic development or hosting.
 
-You can also have a look at the [full configuration
-schema](https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic/src/master/borgmatic/config/schema.yaml)
-for the authoritative set of all configuration options. This is handy if
-borgmatic has added new options since you originally created your
-configuration file.
+## Support and contributing
 
+### Issues
 
-### Multiple configuration files
+You've got issues? Or an idea for a feature enhancement? We've got an [issue
+tracker](https://projects.torsion.org/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic/issues). In order to
+create a new issue or comment on an issue, you'll need to [login
+first](https://projects.torsion.org/user/login). Note that you can login with
+an existing GitHub account if you prefer.
 
-A more advanced usage is to create multiple separate configuration files and
-place each one in an /etc/borgmatic.d directory. For instance:
+If you'd like to chat with borgmatic developers or users, head on over to the
+`#borgmatic` IRC channel on Libera Chat, either via <a
+href="https://web.libera.chat/#borgmatic">web chat</a> or a
+native <a href="ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697">IRC client</a>. If you
+don't get a response right away, please hang around a while—or file a ticket
+instead.
 
-```bash
-sudo mkdir /etc/borgmatic.d
-sudo generate-borgmatic-config --destination /etc/borgmatic.d/app1.yaml
-sudo generate-borgmatic-config --destination /etc/borgmatic.d/app2.yaml
-```
+Also see the [security
+policy](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/security-policy/) for any security
+issues.
 
-With this approach, you can have entirely different backup policies for
-different applications on your system. For instance, you may want one backup
-configuration for your database data directory, and a different configuration
-for your user home directories.
+Other questions or comments? Contact
+[witten@torsion.org](mailto:witten@torsion.org).
 
-When you set up multiple configuration files like this, borgmatic will run
-each one in turn from a single borgmatic invocation. This includes, by
-default, the traditional /etc/borgmatic/config.yaml as well.
 
-And if you need even more customizability, you can specify alternate
-configuration paths on the command-line with borgmatic's `--config` option.
-See `borgmatic --help` for more information.

-
-### Upgrading from borgmatic 1.0.x
-
-borgmatic changed its configuration file format in version 1.1.0 from
-INI-style to YAML. This better supports validation, and has a more natural way
-to express lists of values. To upgrade your existing configuration, first
-upgrade to the new version of borgmatic.
-
-As of version 1.1.0, borgmatic no longer supports Python 2. If you were
-already running borgmatic with Python 3, then you can simply upgrade borgmatic
-in-place:
-
-```bash
-sudo pip3 install --upgrade borgmatic
-```
-
-But if you were running borgmatic with Python 2, uninstall and reinstall instead:
-
-```bash
-sudo pip uninstall borgmatic
-sudo pip3 install borgmatic
-```
-
-The pip binary names for different versions of Python can differ, so the above
-commands may need some tweaking to work on your machine.
-
-
-Once borgmatic is upgraded, run:
-
-```bash
-sudo upgrade-borgmatic-config
-```
-
-That will generate a new YAML configuration file at /etc/borgmatic/config.yaml
-(by default) using the values from both your existing configuration and
-excludes files. The new version of borgmatic will consume the YAML
-configuration file instead of the old one.
-
-
-### Upgrading from atticmatic
-
-You can ignore this section if you're not an atticmatic user (the former name
-of borgmatic).
-
-borgmatic only supports Borg now and no longer supports Attic. So if you're
-an Attic user, consider switching to Borg. See the [Borg upgrade
-command](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#borg-upgrade)
-for more information. Then, follow the instructions above about setting up
-your borgmatic configuration files.
-
-If you were already using Borg with atticmatic, then you can easily upgrade
-from atticmatic to borgmatic. Simply run the following commands:
-
-```bash
-sudo pip3 uninstall atticmatic
-sudo pip3 install borgmatic
-```
-
-That's it! borgmatic will continue using your /etc/borgmatic configuration
-files.
-
-
-## Usage
-
-You can run borgmatic and start a backup simply by invoking it without
-arguments:
-
-```bash
-borgmatic
-```
-
-This will also prune any old backups as per the configured retention policy,
-and check backups for consistency problems due to things like file damage.
-
-If you'd like to see the available command-line arguments, view the help:
-
-```bash
-borgmatic --help
-```
-
-Note that borgmatic prunes archives *before* creating an archive, so as to
-free up space for archiving. This means that when a borgmatic run finishes,
-there may still be prune-able archives. Not to worry, as they will get cleaned
-up at the start of the next run.
-
-### Verbosity
-
-By default, the backup will proceed silently except in the case of errors. But
-if you'd like to to get additional information about the progress of the
-backup as it proceeds, use the verbosity option:
-
-```bash
-borgmatic --verbosity 1
-```
-
-Or, for even more progress spew:
-
-```bash
-borgmatic --verbosity 2
-```
-
-### À la carte
-
-If you want to run borgmatic with only pruning, creating, or checking enabled,
-the following optional flags are available:
-
-```bash
-borgmatic --prune
-borgmatic --create
-borgmatic --check
-```
-
-You can run with only one of these flags provided, or you can mix and match
-any number of them. This supports use cases like running consistency checks
-from a different cron job with a different frequency, or running pruning with
-a different verbosity level.
-
-
-## Autopilot
-
-If you want to run borgmatic automatically, say once a day, the you can
-configure a job runner to invoke it periodically.
-
-### cron
-
-If you're using cron, download the [sample cron
-file](https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic/raw/master/sample/cron/borgmatic).
-Then, from the directory where you downloaded it:
-
-```bash
-sudo mv borgmatic /etc/cron.d/borgmatic
-sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.d/borgmatic
-```
-
-You can modify the cron file if you'd like to run borgmatic more or less frequently.
-
-### systemd
-
-If you're using systemd instead of cron to run jobs, download the [sample
-systemd service
-file](https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic/src/master/sample/systemd/borgmatic.service)
-and the [sample systemd timer
-file](https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic/src/master/sample/systemd/borgmatic.timer).
-Then, from the directory where you downloaded them:
-
-```bash
-sudo mv borgmatic.service borgmatic.timer /etc/systemd/system/
-sudo systemctl enable borgmatic.timer
-sudo systemctl start borgmatic.timer
-```
-
-Feel free to modify the timer file based on how frequently you'd like
-borgmatic to run.
-
-
-## Running tests
-
-First install tox, which is used for setting up testing environments:
-
-```bash
-pip3 install tox
-```
-
-Then, to actually run tests, run:
-
-```bash
-tox
-```
-
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Broken pipe with remote repository
-
-When running borgmatic on a large remote repository, you may receive errors
-like the following, particularly while "borg check" is validating backups for
-consistency:
-
-```text
-    Write failed: Broken pipe
-    borg: Error: Connection closed by remote host
-```
-
-This error can be caused by an ssh timeout, which you can rectify by adding
-the following to the ~/.ssh/config file on the client:
-
-```text
-    Host *
-        ServerAliveInterval 120
-```
-
-This should make the client keep the connection alive while validating
-backups.
-
-
-### libyaml compilation errors
-
-borgmatic depends on a Python YAML library (ruamel.yaml) that will optionally
-use a C YAML library (libyaml) if present. But if it's not installed, then
-when installing or upgrading borgmatic, you may see errors about compiling the
-YAML library. If so, not to worry. borgmatic should install and function
-correctly even without the C YAML library. And borgmatic won't be any faster
-with the C library present, so you don't need to go out of your way to install
-it.
-

+## Supported versions
+
+While we want to hear about security vulnerabilities in all versions of
+borgmatic, security fixes will only be made to the most recently released
+version. It's not practical for our small volunteer effort to maintain
+multiple different release branches and put out separate security patches for
+each.
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+If you find a security vulnerability, please [file a
+ticket](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#issues) or [send email
+directly](mailto:witten@torsion.org) as appropriate. You should expect to hear
+back within a few days at most, and generally sooner.

+title: How to add preparation and cleanup steps to backups
+eleventyNavigation:
+  key: 🧹 Add preparation and cleanup steps

+  order: 8
+---
+## Preparation and cleanup hooks
+
+If you find yourself performing preparation tasks before your backup runs, or
+cleanup work afterwards, borgmatic hooks may be of interest. Hooks are shell
+commands that borgmatic executes for you at various points as it runs, and
+they're configured in the `hooks` section of your configuration file. But if
+you're looking to backup a database, it's probably easier to use the [database
+backup
+feature](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/backup-your-databases/)
+instead.
+
+You can specify `before_backup` hooks to perform preparation steps before
+running backups, and specify `after_backup` hooks to perform cleanup steps
+afterwards. Here's an example:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    before_backup:
+        - mount /some/filesystem
+    after_backup:
+        - umount /some/filesystem
+```
+
+The `before_backup` and `after_backup` hooks each run once per repository in a
+configuration file. `before_backup` hooks runs right before the `create`
+action for a particular repository, and `after_backup` hooks run afterwards,
+but not if an error occurs in a previous hook or in the backups themselves.
+(Prior to borgmatic 1.6.0, these hooks instead ran once per configuration file
+rather than once per repository.)
+
+There are additional hooks that run before/after other actions as well. For
+instance, `before_prune` runs before a `prune` action for a repository, while
+`after_prune` runs after it.
+
+## Variable interpolation
+
+The before and after action hooks support interpolating particular runtime
+variables into the hook command. Here's an example that assumes you provide a
+separate shell script:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    after_prune:
+        - record-prune.sh "{configuration_filename}" "{repository}"
+```
+
+In this example, when the hook is triggered, borgmatic interpolates runtime
+values into the hook command: the borgmatic configuration filename and the
+paths of the current Borg repository. Here's the full set of supported
+variables you can use here:
+
+ * `configuration_filename`: borgmatic configuration filename in which the
+   hook was defined
+ * `repository`: path of the current repository as configured in the current
+   borgmatic configuration file
+
+## Global hooks
+
+You can also use `before_everything` and `after_everything` hooks to perform
+global setup or cleanup:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    before_everything:
+        - set-up-stuff-globally
+    after_everything:
+        - clean-up-stuff-globally
+```
+
+`before_everything` hooks collected from all borgmatic configuration files run
+once before all configuration files (prior to all actions), but only if there
+is a `create` action. An error encountered during a `before_everything` hook
+causes borgmatic to exit without creating backups.
+
+`after_everything` hooks run once after all configuration files and actions,
+but only if there is a `create` action. It runs even if an error occurs during
+a backup or a backup hook, but not if an error occurs during a
+`before_everything` hook.
+
+## Error hooks
+
+borgmatic also runs `on_error` hooks if an error occurs, either when creating
+a backup or running a backup hook. See the [monitoring and alerting
+documentation](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/)
+for more information.
+
+## Hook output
+
+Any output produced by your hooks shows up both at the console and in syslog
+(when run in a non-interactive console). For more information, read about <a
+href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/inspect-your-backups/">inspecting
+your backups</a>.
+
+## Security
+
+An important security note about hooks: borgmatic executes all hook commands
+with the user permissions of borgmatic itself. So to prevent potential shell
+injection or privilege escalation, do not forget to set secure permissions
+on borgmatic configuration files (`chmod 0600`) and scripts (`chmod 0700`)
+invoked by hooks.

+eleventyNavigation:
+  key: 💾 Backup to a removable drive/server
+  parent: How-to guides
+  order: 9
+---
+## Occasional backups
+
+A common situation is backing up to a repository that's only sometimes online.
+For instance, you might send most of your backups to the cloud, but
+occasionally you want to plug in an external hard drive or backup to your
+buddy's sometimes-online server for that extra level of redundancy.
+
+But if you run borgmatic and your hard drive isn't plugged in, or your buddy's
+server is offline, then you'll get an annoying error message and the overall
+borgmatic run will fail (even if individual repositories still complete).
+
+Another variant is when the source machine is only sometimes available for
+backups, e.g. a laptop where you want to skip backups when the battery falls
+below a certain level.
+
+So what if you want borgmatic to swallow the error of a missing drive
+or an offline server or a low battery—and exit gracefully? That's where the
+concept of "soft failure" come in.
+
+
+## Soft failure command hooks
+
+This feature leverages [borgmatic command
+hooks](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/),
+so first familiarize yourself with them. The idea is that you write a simple
+test in the form of a borgmatic hook to see if backups should proceed or not.
+
+The way the test works is that if any of your hook commands return a special
+exit status of 75, that indicates to borgmatic that it's a temporary failure,
+and borgmatic should skip all subsequent actions for that configuration file.
+If you return any other status, then it's a standard success or error. (Zero is
+success; anything else other than 75 is an error).
+
+So for instance, if you have an external drive that's only sometimes mounted,
+declare its repository in its own [separate configuration
+file](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-per-application-backups/),
+say at `/etc/borgmatic.d/removable.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+location:
+    source_directories:
+        - /home
+
+    repositories:
+        - /mnt/removable/backup.borg
+```
+
+Then, write a `before_backup` hook in that same configuration file that uses
+the external `findmnt` utility to see whether the drive is mounted before
+proceeding.
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    before_backup:
+      - findmnt /mnt/removable > /dev/null || exit 75
+```
+
+What this does is check if the `findmnt` command errors when probing for a
+particular mount point. If it does error, then it returns exit code 75 to
+borgmatic. borgmatic logs the soft failure, skips all further actions in that
+configurable file, and proceeds onward to any other borgmatic configuration
+files you may have.
+
+You can imagine a similar check for the sometimes-online server case:
+
+```yaml
+location:
+    source_directories:
+        - /home
+
+    repositories:
+        - me@buddys-server.org:backup.borg
+
+hooks:
+    before_backup:
+      - ping -q -c 1 buddys-server.org > /dev/null || exit 75
+```
+
+Or to only run backups if the battery level is high enough:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    before_backup:
+      - is_battery_percent_at_least.sh 25
+```
+
+(Writing the battery script is left as an exercise to the reader.)
+
+
+## Caveats and details
+
+There are some caveats you should be aware of with this feature.
+
+ * You'll generally want to put a soft failure command in the `before_backup`
+   hook, so as to gate whether the backup action occurs. While a soft failure is
+   also supported in the `after_backup` hook, returning a soft failure there
+   won't prevent any actions from occuring, because they've already occurred!
+   Similiarly, you can return a soft failure from an `on_error` hook, but at
+   that point it's too late to prevent the error.
+ * Returning a soft failure does prevent further commands in the same hook from
+   executing. So, like a standard error, it is an "early out". Unlike a standard
+   error, borgmatic does not display it in angry red text or consider it a
+   failure.
+ * The soft failure only applies to the scope of a single borgmatic
+   configuration file. So put anything that you don't want soft-failed, like
+   always-online cloud backups, in separate configuration files from your
+   soft-failing repositories.
+ * The soft failure doesn't have to apply to a repository. You can even perform
+   a test to make sure that individual source directories are mounted and
+   available. Use your imagination!
+ * The soft failure feature also works for before/after hooks for other
+   actions as well. But it is not implemented for `before_everything` or
+   `after_everything`.

+  parent: How-to guides
+  order: 7
+---
+## Database dump hooks
+
+If you want to backup a database, it's best practice with most database
+systems to backup an exported database dump, rather than backing up your
+database's internal file storage. That's because the internal storage can
+change while you're reading from it. In contrast, a database dump creates a
+consistent snapshot that is more suited for backups.
+
+Fortunately, borgmatic includes built-in support for creating database dumps
+prior to running backups. For example, here is everything you need to dump and
+backup a couple of local PostgreSQL databases, a MySQL/MariaDB database, and a
+MongoDB database:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    postgresql_databases:
+        - name: users
+        - name: orders
+    mysql_databases:
+        - name: posts
+    mongodb_databases:
+        - name: messages
+```
+
+As part of each backup, borgmatic streams a database dump for each configured
+database directly to Borg, so it's included in the backup without consuming
+additional disk space. (The exceptions are the PostgreSQL/MongoDB "directory"
+dump formats, which can't stream and therefore do consume temporary disk
+space. Additionally, prior to borgmatic 1.5.3, all database dumps consumed
+temporary disk space.)
+
+To support this, borgmatic creates temporary named pipes in `~/.borgmatic` by
+default. To customize this path, set the `borgmatic_source_directory` option
+in the `location` section of borgmatic's configuration.
+
+Also note that using a database hook implicitly enables both the
+`read_special` and `one_file_system` configuration settings (even if they're
+disabled in your configuration) to support this dump and restore streaming.
+See Limitations below for more on this.
+
+Here's a more involved example that connects to remote databases:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    postgresql_databases:
+        - name: users
+          hostname: database1.example.org
+          port: 5433
+          username: postgres
+          password: trustsome1
+          format: tar
+          options: "--role=someone"
+    mysql_databases:
+        - name: posts
+          hostname: database2.example.org
+          port: 3307
+          username: root
+          password: trustsome1
+          options: "--skip-comments"
+    mongodb_databases:
+        - name: messages
+          hostname: database3.example.org
+          port: 27018
+          username: dbuser
+          password: trustsome1
+          authentication_database: mongousers
+          options: "--ssl"
+```
+
+If you want to dump all databases on a host, use `all` for the database name:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    postgresql_databases:
+        - name: all
+    mysql_databases:
+        - name: all
+    mongodb_databases:
+        - name: all
+```
+
+Note that you may need to use a `username` of the `postgres` superuser for
+this to work with PostgreSQL.
+
+If you would like to backup databases only and not source directories, you can
+specify an empty `source_directories` value (as it is a mandatory field):
+
+```yaml
+location:
+    source_directories: []
+hooks:
+    mysql_databases:
+        - name: all
+```
+
+
+### Configuration backups
+
+An important note about this database configuration: You'll need the
+configuration to be present in order for borgmatic to restore a database. So
+to prepare for this situation, it's a good idea to include borgmatic's own
+configuration files as part of your regular backups. That way, you can always
+bring back any missing configuration files in order to restore a database.
+
+
+## Supported databases
+
+As of now, borgmatic supports PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, and MongoDB databases
+directly. But see below about general-purpose preparation and cleanup hooks as
+a work-around with other database systems. Also, please [file a
+ticket](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#issues) for additional database systems
+that you'd like supported.
+
+
+## Database restoration
+
+To restore a database dump from an archive, use the `borgmatic restore`
+action. But the first step is to figure out which archive to restore from. A
+good way to do that is to use the `list` action:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic list
+```
+
+(No borgmatic `list` action? Try the old-style `--list`, or upgrade
+borgmatic!)
+
+That should yield output looking something like:
+

+Assuming that you want to restore all database dumps from the archive with the
+most up-to-date files and therefore the latest timestamp, run a command like:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic restore --archive host-2019-01-02T04:06:07.080910
+```
+
+(No borgmatic `restore` action? Upgrade borgmatic!)
+
+With newer versions of borgmatic, you can simplify this to:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic restore --archive latest
+```
+
+The `--archive` value is the name of the archive to restore from. This
+restores all databases dumps that borgmatic originally backed up to that
+archive.
+
+This is a destructive action! `borgmatic restore` replaces live databases by
+restoring dumps from the selected archive. So be very careful when and where
+you run it.
+
+
+### Repository selection
+
+If you have a single repository in your borgmatic configuration file(s), no
+problem: the `restore` action figures out which repository to use.
+
+But if you have multiple repositories configured, then you'll need to specify
+the repository path containing the archive to restore. Here's an example:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic restore --repository repo.borg --archive host-2019-...
+```
+
+### Restore particular databases
+
+If you've backed up multiple databases into an archive, and you'd only like to
+restore one of them, use the `--database` flag to select one or more
+databases. For instance:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic restore --archive host-2019-... --database users
+```
+
+### Limitations
+
+There are a few important limitations with borgmatic's current database
+restoration feature that you should know about:
+
+1. You must restore as the same Unix user that created the archive containing
+the database dump. That's because the user's home directory path is encoded
+into the path of the database dump within the archive.
+2. As mentioned above, borgmatic can only restore a database that's defined in
+borgmatic's own configuration file. So include your configuration file in
+backups to avoid getting caught without a way to restore a database.
+3. borgmatic does not currently support backing up or restoring multiple
+databases that share the exact same name on different hosts.
+4. Because database hooks implicitly enable the `read_special` configuration
+setting to support dump and restore streaming, you'll need to ensure that any
+special files are excluded from backups (named pipes, block devices,
+character devices, and sockets) to prevent hanging. Try a command like
+`find /your/source/path -type c,b,p,s` to find such files. Common directories
+to exclude are `/dev` and `/run`, but that may not be exhaustive.
+
+
+### Manual restoration
+
+If you prefer to restore a database without the help of borgmatic, first
+[extract](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/extract-a-backup/) an
+archive containing a database dump.
+
+borgmatic extracts the dump file into the *`username`*`/.borgmatic/` directory
+within the extraction destination path, where *`username`* is the user that
+created the backup. For example, if you created the backup with the `root`
+user and you're extracting to `/tmp`, then the dump will be in
+`/tmp/root/.borgmatic`.
+
+After extraction, you can manually restore the dump file using native database
+commands like `pg_restore`, `mysql`, `mongorestore` or similar.
+
+
+## Preparation and cleanup hooks
+
+If this database integration is too limited for needs, borgmatic also supports
+general-purpose [preparation and cleanup
+hooks](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/).
+These hooks allows you to trigger arbitrary commands or scripts before and
+after backups. So if necessary, you can use these hooks to create database
+dumps with any database system.
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### MySQL table lock errors
+
+If you encounter table lock errors during a database dump with MySQL/MariaDB,
+you may need to [use a
+transaction](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysqldump.html#option_mysqldump_single-transaction).
+You can add any additional flags to the `options:` in your database
+configuration. Here's an example:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    mysql_databases:
+        - name: posts
+          options: "--single-transaction --quick"
+```
+
+### borgmatic hangs during backup
+
+See Limitations above about `read_special`. You may need to exclude certain
+paths with named pipes, block devices, character devices, or sockets on which
+borgmatic is hanging.
+
+Alternatively, if excluding special files is too onerous, you can create two
+separate borgmatic configuration files—one for your source files and a
+separate one for backing up databases. That way, the database `read_special`
+option will not be active when backing up special files.

+  order: 3
+---
+## Biggish data
+
+Borg itself is great for efficiently de-duplicating data across successive
+backup archives, even when dealing with very large repositories. But you may
+find that while borgmatic's default mode of `prune`, `compact`, `create`, and
+`check` works well on small repositories, it's not so great on larger ones.
+That's because running the default pruning, compact, and consistency checks
+take a long time on large repositories.
+
+### A la carte actions
+
+If you find yourself in this situation, you have some options. First, you can
+run borgmatic's `prune`, `compact`, `create`, or `check` actions separately.
+For instance, the following optional actions are available:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic prune
+borgmatic compact
+borgmatic create
+borgmatic check
+```
+
+(No borgmatic `prune`, `create`, or `check` actions? Try the old-style
+`--prune`, `--create`, or `--check`. Or upgrade borgmatic!)
+
+You can run with only one of these actions provided, or you can mix and match
+any number of them in a single borgmatic run. This supports approaches like
+skipping certain actions while running others. For instance, this skips
+`prune` and `compact` and only runs `create` and `check`:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic create check
+```
+
+Or, you can make backups with `create` on a frequent schedule (e.g. with
+`borgmatic create` called from one cron job), while only running expensive
+consistency checks with `check` on a much less frequent basis (e.g. with
+`borgmatic check` called from a separate cron job).
+
+
+### Consistency check configuration
+
+Another option is to customize your consistency checks. The default
+consistency checks run both full-repository checks and per-archive checks
+within each repository no more than once a month.
+
+But if you find that archive checks are too slow, for example, you can
+configure borgmatic to run repository checks only. Configure this in the
+`consistency` section of borgmatic configuration:
+
+```yaml
+consistency:
+    checks:
+        - name: repository
+```
+
+(Prior to borgmatic 1.6.2, `checks` was a plain list of strings without the `name:` part.)
+
+Here are the available checks from fastest to slowest:
+
+ * `repository`: Checks the consistency of the repository itself.
+ * `archives`: Checks all of the archives in the repository.
+ * `extract`: Performs an extraction dry-run of the most recent archive.
+ * `data`: Verifies the data integrity of all archives contents, decrypting and decompressing all data (implies `archives` as well).
+
+See [Borg's check documentation](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/check.html) for more information.
+
+### Check frequency
+
+As of borgmatic 1.6.2, you can optionally configure checks to run on a
+periodic basis rather than every time borgmatic runs checks. For instance:
+
+```yaml
+consistency:
+    checks:
+        - name: repository
+          frequency: 2 weeks
+```
+
+This tells borgmatic to run this consistency check at most once every two
+weeks for a given repository. The `frequency` value is a number followed by a
+unit of time, e.g. "3 days", "1 week", "2 months", etc. The `frequency`
+defaults to "always", which means run this check every time checks run.
+
+Unlike a real scheduler like cron, borgmatic only makes a best effort to run
+checks on the configured frequency. It compares that frequency with how long
+it's been since the last check for a given repository (as recorded in a file
+within `~/.borgmatic/checks`). If it hasn't been long enough, the check is
+skipped. And you still have to run `borgmatic check` (or just `borgmatic`) in
+order for checks to run, even when a `frequency` is configured!
+
+If you want to temporarily ignore your configured frequencies, you can invoke
+`borgmatic check --force` to run checks unconditionally.
+
+
+### Disabling checks
+
+If that's still too slow, you can disable consistency checks entirely,
+either for a single repository or for all repositories.
+
+Disabling all consistency checks looks like this:
+
+```yaml
+consistency:
+    checks:
+        - name: disabled
+```
+
+Or, if you have multiple repositories in your borgmatic configuration file,
+you can keep running consistency checks, but only against a subset of the
+repositories:
+
+```yaml
+consistency:
+    check_repositories:
+        - path/of/repository_to_check.borg
+```
+
+Finally, you can override your configuration file's consistency checks, and
+run particular checks via the command-line. For instance:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic check --only data --only extract
+```
+
+This is useful for running slow consistency checks on an infrequent basis,
+separate from your regular checks. It is still subject to any configured
+check frequencies unless the `--force` flag is used.
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Broken pipe with remote repository
+
+When running borgmatic on a large remote repository, you may receive errors
+like the following, particularly while "borg check" is validating backups for
+consistency:
+
+```text
+    Write failed: Broken pipe
+    borg: Error: Connection closed by remote host
+```
+
+This error can be caused by an ssh timeout, which you can rectify by adding
+the following to the `~/.ssh/config` file on the client:
+
+```text
+    Host *
+        ServerAliveInterval 120
+```
+
+This should make the client keep the connection alive while validating
+backups.

+---
+## Source code
+
+To get set up to hack on borgmatic, first clone master via HTTPS or SSH:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://projects.torsion.org/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic.git
+```
+
+Or:
+
+```bash
+git clone ssh://git@projects.torsion.org:3022/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic.git
+```
+
+Then, install borgmatic
+"[editable](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#editable-installs)"
+so that you can run borgmatic commands while you're hacking on them to
+make sure your changes work.
+
+```bash
+cd borgmatic/
+pip3 install --editable --user .
+```
+
+Note that this will typically install the borgmatic commands into
+`~/.local/bin`, which may or may not be on your PATH. There are other ways to
+install borgmatic editable as well, for instance into the system Python
+install (so without `--user`, as root), or even into a
+[virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/). How or where you install
+borgmatic is up to you, but generally an editable install makes development
+and testing easier.
+
+
+## Automated tests
+
+Assuming you've cloned the borgmatic source code as described above, and
+you're in the `borgmatic/` working copy, install tox, which is used for
+setting up testing environments:
+
+```bash
+pip3 install --user tox
+```
+
+Finally, to actually run tests, run:
+
+```bash
+cd borgmatic
+tox
+```
+
+### Code formatting
+
+If when running tests, you get an error from the
+[Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) code formatter about files
+that would be reformatted, you can ask Black to format them for you via the
+following:
+
+```bash
+tox -e black
+```
+
+And if you get a complaint from the
+[isort](https://github.com/timothycrosley/isort) Python import orderer, you
+can ask isort to order your imports for you:
+
+```bash
+tox -e isort
+```
+
+### End-to-end tests
+
+borgmatic additionally includes some end-to-end tests that integration test
+with Borg and supported databases for a few representative scenarios. These
+tests don't run by default when running `tox`, because they're relatively slow
+and depend on Docker containers for runtime dependencies. These tests tests do
+run on the continuous integration (CI) server, and running them on your
+developer machine is the closest thing to CI test parity.
+
+If you would like to run the full test suite, first install Docker and [Docker
+Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). Then run:
+
+```bash
+scripts/run-full-dev-tests
+```
+
+Note that this scripts assumes you have permission to run Docker. If you
+don't, then you may need to run with `sudo`.
+
+## Code style
+
+Start with [PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/). But then, apply
+the following deviations from it:
+
+ * For strings, prefer single quotes over double quotes.
+ * Limit all lines to a maximum of 100 characters.
+ * Use trailing commas within multiline values or argument lists.
+ * For multiline constructs, put opening and closing delimeters on lines
+   separate from their contents.
+ * Within multiline constructs, use standard four-space indentation. Don't align
+   indentation with an opening delimeter.
+
+borgmatic code uses the [Black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) code
+formatter, the [Flake8](http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/) code checker, and
+the [isort](https://github.com/timothycrosley/isort) import orderer, so
+certain code style requirements will be enforced when running automated tests.
+See the Black, Flake8, and isort documentation for more information.
+
+## Continuous integration
+
+Each pull request triggers a continuous integration build which runs the test
+suite. You can view these builds on
+[build.torsion.org](https://build.torsion.org/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic), and they're
+also linked from the commits list on each pull request.
+
+## Documentation development
+
+Updates to borgmatic's documentation are welcome. It's formatted in Markdown
+and located in the `docs/` directory in borgmatic's source, plus the
+`README.md` file at the root.
+
+To build and view a copy of the documentation with your local changes, run the
+following from the root of borgmatic's source code:
+
+```bash
+sudo scripts/dev-docs
+```
+
+This requires Docker to be installed on your system. You may not need to use
+sudo if your non-root user has permissions to run Docker.
+
+After you run the script, you can point your web browser at
+http://localhost:8080 to view the documentation with your changes.
+
+To close the documentation server, ctrl-C the script. Note that it does not
+currently auto-reload, so you'll need to stop it and re-run it for any
+additional documentation changes to take effect.

+---
+## Extract
+
+When the worst happens—or you want to test your backups—the first step is
+to figure out which archive to extract. A good way to do that is to use the
+`list` action:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic list
+```
+
+(No borgmatic `list` action? Try the old-style `--list`, or upgrade
+borgmatic!)
+
+That should yield output looking something like:
+
+```text
+host-2019-01-01T04:05:06.070809      Tue, 2019-01-01 04:05:06 [...]
+host-2019-01-02T04:06:07.080910      Wed, 2019-01-02 04:06:07 [...]
+```
+
+Assuming that you want to extract the archive with the most up-to-date files
+and therefore the latest timestamp, run a command like:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic extract --archive host-2019-01-02T04:06:07.080910
+```
+
+(No borgmatic `extract` action? Try the old-style `--extract`, or upgrade
+borgmatic!)
+
+With newer versions of borgmatic, you can simplify this to:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic extract --archive latest
+```
+
+The `--archive` value is the name of the archive to extract. This extracts the
+entire contents of the archive to the current directory, so make sure you're
+in the right place before running the command.
+
+
+## Repository selection
+
+If you have a single repository in your borgmatic configuration file(s), no
+problem: the `extract` action figures out which repository to use.
+
+But if you have multiple repositories configured, then you'll need to specify
+the repository path containing the archive to extract. Here's an example:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic extract --repository repo.borg --archive host-2019-...
+```
+
+## Extract particular files
+
+Sometimes, you want to extract a single deleted file, rather than extracting
+everything from an archive. To do that, tack on one or more `--path` values.
+For instance:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic extract --archive host-2019-... --path path/1 path/2
+```
+
+Note that the specified restore paths should not have a leading slash. Like a
+whole-archive extract, this also extracts into the current directory. So for
+example, if you happen to be in the directory `/var` and you run the `extract`
+command above, borgmatic will extract `/var/path/1` and `/var/path/2`.
+
+## Extract to a particular destination
+
+By default, borgmatic extracts files into the current directory. To instead
+extract files to a particular destination directory, use the `--destination`
+flag:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic extract --archive host-2019-... --destination /tmp
+```
+
+When using the `--destination` flag, be careful not to overwrite your system's
+files with extracted files unless that is your intent.
+
+
+## Database restoration
+
+The `borgmatic extract` command only extracts files. To restore a database,
+please see the [documentation on database backups and
+restores](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/backup-your-databases/).
+borgmatic does not perform database restoration as part of `borgmatic extract`
+so that you can extract files from your archive without impacting your live
+databases.
+
+
+## Mount a filesystem
+
+If instead of extracting files, you'd like to explore the files from an
+archive as a [FUSE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace)
+filesystem, you can use the `borgmatic mount` action. Here's an example:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic mount --archive host-2019-... --mount-point /mnt
+```
+
+This mounts the entire archive on the given mount point `/mnt`, so that you
+can look in there for your files.
+
+Omit the `--archive` flag to mount all archives (lazy-loaded):
+
+```bash
+borgmatic mount --mount-point /mnt
+```
+
+Or use the "latest" value for the archive to mount the latest archive:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic mount --archive latest --mount-point /mnt
+```
+
+If you'd like to restrict the mounted filesystem to only particular paths from
+your archive, use the `--path` flag, similar to the `extract` action above.
+For instance:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic mount --archive host-2019-... --mount-point /mnt --path var/lib
+```
+
+When you're all done exploring your files, unmount your mount point. No
+`--archive` flag is needed:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic umount --mount-point /mnt
+```

+## Backup progress
+
+By default, borgmatic runs proceed silently except in the case of errors. But
+if you'd like to to get additional information about the progress of the
+backup as it proceeds, use the verbosity option:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic --verbosity 1
+```
+
+This lists the files that borgmatic is archiving, which are those that are new
+or changed since the last backup.
+
+Or, for even more progress and debug spew:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic --verbosity 2
+```
+
+## Backup summary
+
+If you're less concerned with progress during a backup, and you only want to
+see the summary of archive statistics at the end, you can use the stats
+option when performing a backup:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic --stats
+```
+
+## Existing backups
+
+borgmatic provides convenient actions for Borg's
+[list](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/list.html) and
+[info](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/info.html)
+functionality:
+
+
+```bash
+borgmatic list
+borgmatic info
+```
+
+(No borgmatic `list` or `info` actions? Try the old-style `--list` or
+`--info`. Or upgrade borgmatic!)
+
+
+### Searching for a file
+
+Let's say you've accidentally deleted a file and want to find the backup
+archive(s) containing it. `borgmatic list` provides a `--find` flag for
+exactly this purpose (as of borgmatic 1.6.3). For instance, if you're looking
+for a `foo.txt`:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic list --find foo.txt
+```
+
+This will list your archives and indicate those with files matching
+`*foo.txt*` anywhere in the archive. The `--find` parameter can alternatively
+be a [Borg
+pattern](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/help.html#borg-patterns).
+
+To limit the archives searched, use the standard `list` parameters for
+filtering archives such as `--last`, `--archive`, `--glob-archives`, etc. For
+example, to search only the last five archives:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic list --find foo.txt --last 5
+```
+
+
+## Logging
+
+By default, borgmatic logs to a local syslog-compatible daemon if one is
+present and borgmatic is running in a non-interactive console. Where those
+logs show up depends on your particular system. If you're using systemd, try
+running `journalctl -xe`. Otherwise, try viewing `/var/log/syslog` or
+similiar.
+
+You can customize the log level used for syslog logging with the
+`--syslog-verbosity` flag, and this is independent from the console logging
+`--verbosity` flag described above. For instance, to get additional
+information about the progress of the backup as it proceeds:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic --syslog-verbosity 1
+```
+
+Or to increase syslog logging to include debug spew:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic --syslog-verbosity 2
+```
+
+### Rate limiting
+
+If you are using rsyslog or systemd's journal, be aware that by default they
+both throttle the rate at which logging occurs. So you may need to change
+either [the global rate
+limit](https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-change-log-rate-limiting-in-linux/) or
+[the per-service rate
+limit](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journald.conf.html#RateLimitIntervalSec=)
+if you're finding that borgmatic logs are missing.
+
+Note that the [sample borgmatic systemd service
+file](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/#systemd)
+already has this rate limit disabled for systemd's journal.
+
+
+### Logging to file
+
+If you don't want to use syslog, and you'd rather borgmatic log to a plain
+file, use the `--log-file` flag:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic --log-file /path/to/file.log
+```
+
+Note that if you use the `--log-file` flag, you are responsible for rotating
+the log file so it doesn't grow too large, for example with
+[logrotate](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Logrotate). Also, there is a
+`--log-file-verbosity` flag to customize the log file's log level.

+## Multiple repositories
+
+If you really care about your data, you probably want more than one backup of
+it. borgmatic supports this in its configuration by specifying multiple backup
+repositories. Here's an example:
+
+```yaml
+location:
+    # List of source directories to backup.
+    source_directories:
+        - /home
+        - /etc
+
+    # Paths of local or remote repositories to backup to.
+    repositories:
+        - 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net:backups.borg
+        - k8pDxu32@k8pDxu32.repo.borgbase.com:repo
+        - /var/lib/backups/local.borg
+```
+
+When you run borgmatic with this configuration, it invokes Borg once for each
+configured repository in sequence. (So, not in parallel.) That means—in each
+repository—borgmatic creates a single new backup archive containing all of
+your source directories.
+
+Here's a way of visualizing what borgmatic does with the above configuration:
+

+## Multiple backup configurations
+
+You may find yourself wanting to create different backup policies for
+different applications on your system. For instance, you may want one backup
+configuration for your database data directory, and a different configuration
+for your user home directories.
+
+The way to accomplish that is pretty simple: Create multiple separate
+configuration files and place each one in a `/etc/borgmatic.d/` directory. For
+instance:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir /etc/borgmatic.d
+sudo generate-borgmatic-config --destination /etc/borgmatic.d/app1.yaml
+sudo generate-borgmatic-config --destination /etc/borgmatic.d/app2.yaml
+```
+
+When you set up multiple configuration files like this, borgmatic will run
+each one in turn from a single borgmatic invocation. This includes, by
+default, the traditional `/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml` as well.
+
+Each configuration file is interpreted independently, as if you ran borgmatic
+for each configuration file one at a time. In other words, borgmatic does not
+perform any merging of configuration files by default. If you'd like borgmatic
+to merge your configuration files, see below about configuration includes.
+
+Additionally, the `~/.config/borgmatic.d/` directory works the same way as
+`/etc/borgmatic.d`.
+
+If you need even more customizability, you can specify alternate configuration
+paths on the command-line with borgmatic's `--config` flag. (See `borgmatic
+--help` for more information.) For instance, if you want to schedule your
+various borgmatic backups to run at different times, you'll need multiple
+entries in your [scheduling software of
+choice](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/#autopilot),
+each entry using borgmatic's `--config` flag instead of relying on
+`/etc/borgmatic.d`.
+
+## Configuration includes
+
+Once you have multiple different configuration files, you might want to share
+common configuration options across these files with having to copy and paste
+them. To achieve this, you can put fragments of common configuration options
+into a file, and then include or inline that file into one or more borgmatic
+configuration files.
+
+Let's say that you want to include common retention configuration across all
+of your configuration files. You could do that in each configuration file with
+the following:
+
+```yaml
+location:
+   ...
+
+retention:
+    !include /etc/borgmatic/common_retention.yaml
+```
+
+And then the contents of `common_retention.yaml` could be:
+
+```yaml
+keep_hourly: 24
+keep_daily: 7
+```
+
+To prevent borgmatic from trying to load these configuration fragments by
+themselves and complaining that they are not valid configuration files, you
+should put them in a directory other than `/etc/borgmatic.d/`. (A subdirectory
+is fine.)
+
+When a configuration include is a relative path, borgmatic loads it from either
+the current working directory or from the directory containing the file doing
+the including.
+
+Note that this form of include must be a YAML value rather than a key. For
+example, this will not work:
+
+```yaml
+location:
+   ...
+
+# Don't do this. It won't work!
+!include /etc/borgmatic/common_retention.yaml
+```
+
+But if you do want to merge in a YAML key *and* its values, keep reading!
+
+
+## Include merging
+
+If you need to get even fancier and pull in common configuration options while
+potentially overriding individual options, you can perform a YAML merge of
+included configuration using the YAML `<<` key. For instance, here's an
+example of a main configuration file that pulls in two retention options via
+an include and then overrides one of them locally:
+
+```yaml
+<<: !include /etc/borgmatic/common.yaml
+
+location:
+   ...
+
+retention:
+    keep_daily: 5
+```
+
+This is what `common.yaml` might look like:
+
+```yaml
+retention:
+    keep_hourly: 24
+    keep_daily: 7
+```
+
+Once this include gets merged in, the resulting configuration would have a
+`keep_hourly` value of `24` and an overridden `keep_daily` value of `5`.
+
+When there's an option collision between the local file and the merged
+include, the local file's option takes precedence. And as of borgmatic 1.6.0,
+this feature performs a deep merge, meaning that values are merged at all
+levels in the two configuration files. Colliding list values are appended
+together. This allows you to include common configuration—up to full borgmatic
+configuration files—while overriding only the parts you want to customize.
+
+Note that this `<<` include merging syntax is only for merging in mappings
+(configuration options and their values). But if you'd like to include a
+single value directly, please see the section above about standard includes.
+
+Additionally, there is a limitation preventing multiple `<<` include merges
+per section. So for instance, that means you can do one `<<` merge at the
+global level, another `<<` within each configuration section, etc. (This is a
+YAML limitation.)
+
+
+## Configuration overrides
+
+In more complex multi-application setups, you may want to override particular
+borgmatic configuration file options at the time you run borgmatic. For
+instance, you could reuse a common configuration file for multiple
+applications, but then set the repository for each application at runtime. Or
+you might want to try a variant of an option for testing purposes without
+actually touching your configuration file.
+
+Whatever the reason, you can override borgmatic configuration options at the
+command-line via the `--override` flag. Here's an example:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic create --override location.remote_path=/usr/local/bin/borg1
+```
+
+What this does is load your configuration files, and for each one, disregard
+the configured value for the `remote_path` option in the `location` section,
+and use the value of `/usr/local/bin/borg1` instead.
+
+You can even override multiple values at once. For instance:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic create --override section.option1=value1 section.option2=value2
+```
+
+This will accomplish the same thing:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic create --override section.option1=value1 --override section.option2=value2
+```
+
+Note that each value is parsed as an actual YAML string, so you can even set
+list values by using brackets. For instance:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic create --override location.repositories=[test1.borg,test2.borg]
+```
+
+Or even a single list element:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic create --override location.repositories=[/root/test.borg]
+```
+
+If your override value contains special YAML characters like colons, then
+you'll need quotes for it to parse correctly:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic create --override location.repositories="['user@server:test.borg']"
+```
+
+There is not currently a way to override a single element of a list without
+replacing the whole list.
+
+Note that if you override an option of the list type (like
+`location.repositories`), you do need to use the `[ ]` list syntax. See the
+[configuration
+reference](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/reference/configuration/) for
+which options are list types. (YAML list values look like `- this` with an
+indentation and a leading dash.)
+
+Be sure to quote your overrides if they contain spaces or other characters
+that your shell may interpret.

+
+## Monitoring and alerting
+
+Having backups is great, but they won't do you a lot of good unless you have
+confidence that they're running on a regular basis. That's where monitoring
+and alerting comes in.
+
+There are several different ways you can monitor your backups and find out
+whether they're succeeding. Which of these you choose to do is up to you and
+your particular infrastructure.
+
+### Job runner alerts
+
+The easiest place to start is with failure alerts from the [scheduled job
+runner](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/#autopilot)
+(cron, systemd, etc.) that's running borgmatic. But note that if the job
+doesn't even get scheduled (e.g. due to the job runner not running), you
+probably won't get an alert at all! Still, this is a decent first line of
+defense, especially when combined with some of the other approaches below.
+
+### Commands run on error
+
+The `on_error` hook allows you to run an arbitrary command or script when
+borgmatic itself encounters an error running your backups. So for instance,
+you can run a script to send yourself a text message alert. But note that if
+borgmatic doesn't actually run, this alert won't fire.  See [error
+hooks](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#error-hooks)
+below for how to configure this.
+
+### Third-party monitoring services
+
+borgmatic integrates with monitoring services like
+[Healthchecks](https://healthchecks.io/), [Cronitor](https://cronitor.io),
+[Cronhub](https://cronhub.io), and [PagerDuty](https://www.pagerduty.com/) and
+pings these services whenever borgmatic runs. That way, you'll receive an
+alert when something goes wrong or (for certain hooks) the service doesn't
+hear from borgmatic for a configured interval. See [Healthchecks
+hook](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#healthchecks-hook),
+[Cronitor
+hook](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#cronitor-hook),
+[Cronhub
+hook](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#cronhub-hook),
+and [PagerDuty
+hook](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#pagerduty-hook)
+below for how to configure this.
+
+While these services offer different features, you probably only need to use
+one of them at most.
+
+### Third-party monitoring software
+
+You can use traditional monitoring software to consume borgmatic JSON output
+and track when the last successful backup occurred. See [scripting
+borgmatic](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#scripting-borgmatic)
+and [related
+software](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#related-software)
+below for how to configure this.
+
+### Borg hosting providers
+
+Most [Borg hosting
+providers](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#hosting-providers) include
+monitoring and alerting as part of their offering. This gives you a dashboard
+to check on all of your backups, and can alert you if the service doesn't hear
+from borgmatic for a configured interval.
+
+### Consistency checks
+
+While not strictly part of monitoring, if you really want confidence that your
+backups are not only running but are restorable as well, you can configure
+particular [consistency
+checks](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/deal-with-very-large-backups/#consistency-check-configuration)
+or even script full [extract
+tests](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/extract-a-backup/).
+
+
+## Error hooks
+
+When an error occurs during a `prune`, `compact`, `create`, or `check` action,
+borgmatic can run configurable shell commands to fire off custom error
+notifications or take other actions, so you can get alerted as soon as
+something goes wrong. Here's a not-so-useful example:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    on_error:
+        - echo "Error while creating a backup or running a backup hook."
+```
+
+The `on_error` hook supports interpolating particular runtime variables into
+the hook command. Here's an example that assumes you provide a separate shell
+script to handle the alerting:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    on_error:
+        - send-text-message.sh "{configuration_filename}" "{repository}"
+```
+
+In this example, when the error occurs, borgmatic interpolates runtime values
+into the hook command: the borgmatic configuration filename, and the path of
+the repository. Here's the full set of supported variables you can use here:
+
+ * `configuration_filename`: borgmatic configuration filename in which the
+   error occurred
+ * `repository`: path of the repository in which the error occurred (may be
+   blank if the error occurs in a hook)
+ * `error`: the error message itself
+ * `output`: output of the command that failed (may be blank if an error
+   occurred without running a command)
+
+Note that borgmatic runs the `on_error` hooks only for `prune`, `compact`,
+`create`, or `check` actions or hooks in which an error occurs, and not other
+actions. borgmatic does not run `on_error` hooks if an error occurs within a
+`before_everything` or `after_everything` hook. For more about hooks, see the
+[borgmatic hooks
+documentation](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/),
+especially the security information.
+
+
+## Healthchecks hook
+
+[Healthchecks](https://healthchecks.io/) is a service that provides "instant
+alerts when your cron jobs fail silently", and borgmatic has built-in
+integration with it. Once you create a Healthchecks account and project on
+their site, all you need to do is configure borgmatic with the unique "Ping
+URL" for your project. Here's an example:
+
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    healthchecks:
+        ping_url: https://hc-ping.com/addffa72-da17-40ae-be9c-ff591afb942a
+```
+
+With this hook in place, borgmatic pings your Healthchecks project when a
+backup begins, ends, or errors. Specifically, after the <a
+href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/">`before_backup`
+hooks</a> run, borgmatic lets Healthchecks know that it has started if any of
+the `prune`, `compact`, `create`, or `check` actions are run.
+
+Then, if the actions complete successfully, borgmatic notifies Healthchecks of
+the success after the `after_backup` hooks run, and includes borgmatic logs in
+the payload data sent to Healthchecks. This means that borgmatic logs show up
+in the Healthchecks UI, although be aware that Healthchecks currently has a
+10-kilobyte limit for the logs in each ping.
+
+If an error occurs during any action or hook, borgmatic notifies Healthchecks
+after the `on_error` hooks run, also tacking on logs including the error
+itself. But the logs are only included for errors that occur when a `prune`,
+`compact`, `create`, or `check` action is run.
+
+You can customize the verbosity of the logs that are sent to Healthchecks with
+borgmatic's `--monitoring-verbosity` flag. The `--files` and `--stats` flags
+may also be of use. See `borgmatic --help` for more information. Additionally,
+see the [borgmatic configuration
+file](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/reference/configuration/) for
+additional Healthchecks options.
+
+You can configure Healthchecks to notify you by a [variety of
+mechanisms](https://healthchecks.io/#welcome-integrations) when backups fail
+or it doesn't hear from borgmatic for a certain period of time.
+
+
+## Cronitor hook
+
+[Cronitor](https://cronitor.io/) provides "Cron monitoring and uptime healthchecks
+for websites, services and APIs", and borgmatic has built-in
+integration with it. Once you create a Cronitor account and cron job monitor on
+their site, all you need to do is configure borgmatic with the unique "Ping
+API URL" for your monitor. Here's an example:
+
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    cronitor:
+        ping_url: https://cronitor.link/d3x0c1
+```
+
+With this hook in place, borgmatic pings your Cronitor monitor when a backup
+begins, ends, or errors. Specifically, after the <a
+href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/">`before_backup`
+hooks</a> run, borgmatic lets Cronitor know that it has started if any of the
+`prune`, `compact`, `create`, or `check` actions are run. Then, if the actions
+complete successfully, borgmatic notifies Cronitor of the success after the
+`after_backup` hooks run. And if an error occurs during any action or hook,
+borgmatic notifies Cronitor after the `on_error` hooks run.
+
+You can configure Cronitor to notify you by a [variety of
+mechanisms](https://cronitor.io/docs/cron-job-notifications) when backups fail
+or it doesn't hear from borgmatic for a certain period of time.
+
+
+## Cronhub hook
+
+[Cronhub](https://cronhub.io/) provides "instant alerts when any of your
+background jobs fail silently or run longer than expected", and borgmatic has
+built-in integration with it. Once you create a Cronhub account and monitor on
+their site, all you need to do is configure borgmatic with the unique "Ping
+URL" for your monitor. Here's an example:
+
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    cronhub:
+        ping_url: https://cronhub.io/start/1f5e3410-254c-11e8-b61d-55875966d031
+```
+
+With this hook in place, borgmatic pings your Cronhub monitor when a backup
+begins, ends, or errors. Specifically, after the <a
+href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/">`before_backup`
+hooks</a> run, borgmatic lets Cronhub know that it has started if any of the
+`prune`, `compact`, `create`, or `check` actions are run. Then, if the actions
+complete successfully, borgmatic notifies Cronhub of the success after the
+`after_backup` hooks run. And if an error occurs during any action or hook,
+borgmatic notifies Cronhub after the `on_error` hooks run.
+
+Note that even though you configure borgmatic with the "start" variant of the
+ping URL, borgmatic substitutes the correct state into the URL when pinging
+Cronhub ("start", "finish", or "fail").
+
+You can configure Cronhub to notify you by a [variety of
+mechanisms](https://docs.cronhub.io/integrations.html) when backups fail
+or it doesn't hear from borgmatic for a certain period of time.
+
+
+## PagerDuty hook
+
+In case you're new here: [borgmatic](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/) is
+simple, configuration-driven backup software for servers and workstations,
+powered by [Borg Backup](https://www.borgbackup.org/).
+
+[PagerDuty](https://www.pagerduty.com/) provides incident monitoring and
+alerting. borgmatic has built-in integration that can notify you via PagerDuty
+as soon as a backup fails, so you can make sure your backups keep working.
+
+First, create a PagerDuty account and <a
+href="https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/services-and-integrations">service</a>
+on their site. On the service, add an integration and set the Integration Type
+to "borgmatic".
+
+Then, configure borgmatic with the unique "Integration Key" for your service.
+Here's an example:
+
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+    pagerduty:
+        integration_key: a177cad45bd374409f78906a810a3074
+```
+
+With this hook in place, borgmatic creates a PagerDuty event for your service
+whenever backups fail. Specifically, if an error occurs during a `create`,
+`prune`, `compact`, or `check` action, borgmatic sends an event to PagerDuty
+before the `on_error` hooks run. Note that borgmatic does not contact
+PagerDuty when a backup starts or ends without error.
+
+You can configure PagerDuty to notify you by a [variety of
+mechanisms](https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/notifications) when backups
+fail.
+
+If you have any issues with the integration, [please contact
+us](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/#support-and-contributing).
+
+
+## Scripting borgmatic
+
+To consume the output of borgmatic in other software, you can include an
+optional `--json` flag with `create`, `list`, or `info` to get the output
+formatted as JSON.
+
+Note that when you specify the `--json` flag, Borg's other non-JSON output is
+suppressed so as not to interfere with the captured JSON. Also note that JSON
+output only shows up at the console, and not in syslog.

+
+
+### Latest backups
+
+All borgmatic actions that accept an "--archive" flag allow you to specify an
+archive name of "latest". This lets you get the latest archive without having
+to first run "borgmatic list" manually, which can be handy in automated
+scripts. Here's an example:
+
+```bash
+borgmatic info --archive latest
+```
