About:
Borgmatic is a simple wrapper script for BorgBackup that automates the creation, pruning, and verification of backups. It uses a declarative YAML configuration file to manage backup sets, making it easy to define what to back up and where. This tool simplifies the process of setting up reliable, deduplicated, and encrypted backups for servers and workstations.

Key Features:

Declarative YAML configuration for easy setup
Automates backup creation, pruning, and integrity checks
Supports pre- and post-backup hooks for custom scripts
Monitors and reports on backup health and status

Use Cases:

Automating server backups to remote storage
Creating encrypted, deduplicated personal backups
Managing backup schedules for multiple machines

Alternatives:

restic – Restic is a standalone backup tool, whereas borgmatic is a configuration wrapper for BorgBackup.
duplicity – Duplicity uses incremental backups with volume encryption, while Borg/borgmatic provides deduplication and client-side encryption.
