This is a set of BorgBackup automation scripts I've deployed for making backups of live systems.

The basic idea and a starting point for this comes from very nice script: https://gist.github.com/dschense/e55167d8915eb48d6eb3c42cb4d5137d

This is WORK IN PROGRESS - it's an early version but already deployed, and it's published as an example for using Borg. This may become a complete solution one day, but don't expect it will ever be

If you have any comments, please do it, I'm also accepting PRs.

Please observe that there might be some local paths or other system specific configuration elements left.

This set of scripts is dedicated for client-server architecture with central backup server and multiple clients making remote backups over ssh connections.

All the local backup related variables are named BORGLOCAL_* to be distinguished from environment variables used by Borg (BORG_*).

Server has to have a borg installed (we're using borg serve), and one mount path dedicated for backups. Backup is done using non-root user (borg).

All the repos are in keyfile mode. This is hardcoded for now.
