borgmatic is simple, configuration-driven backup software for servers and
|
|
workstations. Protect your files with client-side encryption. Backup your
|
|
databases too. Monitor it all with integrated third-party services.
|
|
|
|
The canonical home of borgmatic is at <a href="https://torsion.org/borgmatic">https://torsion.org/borgmatic</a>.

|
## Hosting providers
|
|
|
|
Need somewhere to store your encrypted off-site backups? The following hosting
|
|
providers include specific support for Borg/borgmatic—and fund borgmatic
|
|
development and hosting when you use these links to sign up. (These are
|
|
referral links, but without any tracking scripts or cookies.)
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|

|
|
