Hi there, I have a config like so:

    repositories:
        - foo@bar:~/backup
        - baz@bing:~/backup

Where each repository has:

A different BORG_PASSPHRASE (encryption_passphrase)
Different SSH port (ssh_command)

This use case is where I have a local backup and identical remotes for redundancy. However, I can't trust all remotes, the SSH configurations are different and passwords are too.

So, I need this kind of "per-repository" option configuration. I could create new folders under /etc/borgmatic.d/ and use separate configurations but then my backup would have to run twice :/

Looking at the schema right now (3cb52423d2/borgmatic/config/schema.yaml), I am not sure this is possible.

Hmmm, https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#can-i-copy-or-synchronize-my-repo-to-another-location seems to recommend creating two separate repositories ... which means running twice is the default !? Looks like nothing borgmatic needs to deal with then ;)

Sorry for the noise!

Not a problem! When you specify multiple repositories in a list as per your example, borgmatic does run Borg twice. But the recommended approach with borgmatic if your repository options differ would indeed be to create separate config files in /etc/borgmatic.d/, optionally sharing any config that you want to share via includes. Hope that works out for you.
