The borgmatic script simplifies backups with borgbackup (already in Mageia).
Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2020-06-12 21:49:22 CEST
Can you please say more about this thing. Where is it? A URL. Is it part of the borgbackup project? Should it be part of the borgbackup pkg, perhaps?

It's just a  Simple Python wrapper script for borgbackup that allows to automate the backups made by BorgBackup thanks to a configuration file(s) under /etc/borgmatic. The same principle as rsnapshot's file-based configuration.
It is included, for example, in Fedora or OpenSuse :
