## Multiple repositories
|
|
|
|
If you really care about your data, you probably want more than one backup of
|
|
it. borgmatic supports this in its configuration by specifying multiple backup
|
|
repositories. Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
location:
|
|
# List of source directories to backup.
|
|
source_directories:
|
|
- /home
|
|
- /etc
|
|
|
|
# Paths of local or remote repositories to backup to.
|
|
repositories:
|
|
- 1234@usw-s001.rsync.net:backups.borg
|
|
- k8pDxu32@k8pDxu32.repo.borgbase.com:repo
|
|
- /var/lib/backups/local.borg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you run borgmatic with this configuration, it invokes Borg once for each
|
|
configured repository in sequence. (So, not in parallel.) That means—in each
|
|
repository—borgmatic creates a single new backup archive containing all of
|
|
your source directories.
|
|
|
|
Here's a way of visualizing what borgmatic does with the above configuration:
|
|
|
|
1. Backup `/home` and `/etc` to `1234@usw-s001.rsync.net:backups.borg`
|
|
2. Backup `/home` and `/etc` to `k8pDxu32@k8pDxu32.repo.borgbase.com:repo`
|
|
3. Backup `/home` and `/etc` to `/var/lib/backups/local.borg`
|
|
|
|
This gives you redundancy of your data across repositories and even
|
|
potentially across providers.
