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.

- /var/lib/backups/local.borg
retention:
# Retention policy for how many backups to keep.
keep_daily: 7
keep_weekly: 4
keep_monthly: 6
