# Borgmatic Backup Templates and Scripts ## Installation ``` git clone https://git.linux-help.org/Linux-Help/borgmatic-base.git /etc/borgmatic pushd /etc/borgmatic cp templates/config.yaml.tpl config.yaml cp templates/patterns.tpl patterns cp templates/excludes.tpl excludes popd ``` Once installed and initially setup, you should edit the config.yaml and set: source_directories - Include any additional directories needed if needed. repositories - Add repository locations appropriately. encryption_passphrase - Passphrase for backup, if not using 'none' for encryption. ssh_command - Provide the ssh key for your backups. When Adding agents to the before_backup, before_check, and after_backup, make sure the ones being added to after_backup are in reverse order to the ones in before_backup so they can perform their cleanups, if need-be, in the right order.
