### Different options per repository
What if you want borgmatic to backup to multiple repositories—while also
setting different options for each one? In that case, you'll need to use
[a separate borgmatic configuration file for each
repository](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-per-application-backups/)
instead of the multiple repositories in one configuration file as described
above. That's because all of the repositories in a particular configuration
file get the same options applied.
