borgbackup / borgmatic ansible role

Ansible role to install BorgBackup along with borgmatic to allow for automated backup.

The configuration parts are based on jprltsnz.borgmatic and m3nu.ansible_role_borgbackup.

Requirements

The respositories parent directory from borgmatic_configs (see below) need to exist, or this role will fail.

For older distribution releases borgmatic will be installed using baztian.pip_venv. Therefore you should consider downloading that role first.

Role variables

• borgmatic_init_repos: Whether to initialize the repos or not. Set to False if you want to initialize with borgmatic init... yourself.
• borgmatic_init_encryption: The encryption algorithm to use. By default it is set no none.
• borgmatic_timer: The borgmatic.timer's OnCalendar value. See systemd documentation for valid values.
• borgmatic_configs: A dict with the contents of borgmatic per application configuration file. This is copied verbatim to the borgmatic config folder. This role is set for per-application setup. See the borgmatic reference documentation for a complete list of available configuration.
