## ## This is an example borgbackup configuration file. ## ## Here you can find all the possible borgbackup options, details of ## what the options provide and possible settings. The defaults are set ## as the commented out option, uncomment and change when ## necessary. Options which are uncommented in this example do not have ## defaults, and the settings provided are recommended. ## ## The defaults are useful in most cases, just make sure to configure the ## destination host and user. ## ## default is 0, but set to 19 if you want to lower the priority. ## an example setting would be: ## nicelevel = 19 ## ## Default # nicelevel = 0 ## default is yes. set to no to skip the test if the remote host is alive ## ## Default: # testconnect = no ###################################################### ## source section ## (where the files to be backed up are coming from) [source] ## how many days, weeks and months of data to keep ## for more info see : borg prune -h ## ## Default: # keepdaily = 7 # keepweekly = 4 # keepmonthly = -1 ## A few notes about includes and excludes: ## 1. include, exclude statements support globbing with '*' ## 2. Symlinks are not dereferenced. Moreover, an include line whose path ## contains, at any level, a symlink to a directory, will only have the ## symlink backed-up, not the target directory's content. Yes, you have to ## dereference yourself the symlinks, or to use 'mount --bind' instead. ## Example: let's say /home is a symlink to /mnt/crypt/home ; the following ## line will only backup a "/home" symlink ; neither /home/user nor ## /home/user/Mail will be backed-up : ## include = /home/user/Mail ## A workaround is to 'mount --bind /mnt/crypt/home /home' ; another one is to ## write : ## include = /mnt/crypt/home/user/Mail ## 3. All the excludes come after all the includes. The order is not otherwise ## taken into account. ## files to include in the backup include = /etc include = /home include = /root include = /usr/lib/nagios/plugins include = /var/backups include = /var/spool/cron/crontabs include = /var/log include = /var/www include = /usr/local/bin include = /usr/local/sbin # files to exclude from the backup # (supports globbing with '*') exclude = /etc/dnscache/* ###################################################### ## destination section ## (where the files are copied to) [dest] ## put the backups under this directory, this must be set! ## an example setting would be: ## directory = /backups ## ## Default: directory = ~/backups/borgbackups/bagel ## the machine which will receive the backups. ## an example setting would be: ## host = backuphost ## ## Default host = iz.mayfirst.org ## make the files owned by this user. you must be able to ## `su -c "ssh backupuser@backhost"` without specifying a password. ## an example setting would be: ## user = backupuser ## ## Default: user = palantetech-sync ## archive name, should be unique every day. ## Format tags available : ## {now}, {utcnow}, {fqdn}, {hostname}, {user}, {pid} ## for more info see : borg create -h ## ## Default: archive = {hostname}-{now:%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M} ## compression algorithm ## can be "none", "lz4", "zlib", "zlib,0..zlib,9", "lzma", "lzma,0..lzma,9". ## - "none" stands for "no compression" ## - "lz4" is super fast, but low compression ## - "zlib" is less fast, but higher compression ## - "lzma" is even slower, even higher compression ## for more info see : borg create -h ## ## Default: # compression = lz4 passphrase = PASSPHRASE
