backup2borg.sh

A configurable script to allow automated backups to be sent to (multiple) borg destinations.

This has been designed to fit in with the way I manage my backups, but hopefully is configurable enough that it should work for others too.

The script reads a provided YAML configuration file, allowing the setting of:

  • a list of backup source directories, each of which will go to it's own borg repo (named directory.repo)

  • a list of borg end points (user, host, port) and options (e.g. compression)

  • a pruning schedule, optionally different for each end point

usage

Simply run the script from cron or your favourite scheduler; archives are datestamped, so if an archive for the current day already exists on an endpoint it will not be recreated.

The configuration file must be provided; optionally the -l <level> option may be provided to enable more verbose working.

requirements

An environment which has (a) bash, (b) ssh and (c) borg installed. I've only used it in Linux environments; YMMV on other platforms (but issues and PRs are welcome).

license

This script is released under GPLv3, rather than my normal MIT license; this is primarily done because I include a GPLv3-licensed YAML parser and frankly it's a lot less complicated to keep everything under the same license.
