## It's your data. Keep it that way.

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>
Here's an example configuration file:
```yaml
# List of source directories to backup.

- /home
- /etc
# Paths of local or remote repositories to backup to.
repositories:
- path: ssh://k8pDxu32@k8pDxu32.repo.borgbase.com/./repo
label: borgbase
- path: /var/lib/backups/local.borg
label: local
# Retention policy for how many backups to keep.
keep_daily: 7
keep_weekly: 4
keep_monthly: 6
# List of checks to run to validate your backups.

## 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 referral links to sign up:
<ul>
<li class="referral"><a href="https://www.borgbase.com/?utm_source=borgmatic">BorgBase</a>: Borg hosting service with support for monitoring, 2FA, and append-only repos</li>
<li class="referral"><a href="https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=v9dOJ98Ic9I8">Hetzner</a>: A "storage box" that includes support for Borg</li>
</ul>
Additionally, rsync.net has a compatible storage offering, but does not fund
borgmatic development or hosting.
