Hi
Currently borgmatic does not support the
--numeric-owner
argument. Borg has this option for thecreate
,diff
andextract
actions. It forces borg to maintain the numeric value of owning groups/users rather than trying to match them by name, which can be useful under certain circumstances.Briefly discussed on reddit here.
Thanks,
Wieke
Seems straight-forward. Thanks for filing!
Done! Just released as part of borgmatic 1.2.18. Please let me know if you find any other options or features lacking. Thanks again for reporting.
In terms of using this, just add the following to the
location:
section in your borgmatic config:This applies to both creating and extracting archives.
Damn that was quick, I'll give it a try this evening. And thanks, being able to use borgmatic is going to save me so much hassle.
It works, I just successfully backed up and restored an lxc container using borgmatic.
(And for good measure I'm also backing up /etc so my borgmatic configuration is safe.)
Awesome, glad to hear it!
