#borgmatic — Public Fediverse posts

Been a while since I blogged, so it's time for the latest installment in "Edd massively over-complicates things with SSH certificates" This time, a post about how I got rid of the need to create a new sub account on my #Hetzner Storage Box every time I wanted to create a new VM and back it up with #Borg. Definitely easier ways to have achieved it, but it shows of the versatility of ssh certificates, and #StepCA that's powering them in my home lab.

I already use #Borg/#Borgmatic for my #Docker backups and dat was easy to setup. Then I tried doing the same thing for my #Kubernetes cluster, then realised it may not be that simple to backup the volumes - the databases, that was easy since Borgmatic supports that super easily. The PVCs tho, which uses #Longhorn underneath... I'm not too sure how to back them up - esp the RWO ones. One option I've found seems to be to set up backups, possible for Longhorn, to some #S3 storage location but ofc #MinIO is like, not an option now. Idk if finding a diff S3 option (#Garage? #RustFS?) is a good idea or, really, how do others back up data on their #K8s cluster in their #homelab/workplace?

#borgmatic #borgbackup #backup

Release notes: https://projects.torsion.org/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic/releases/tag/2.1.3

Ok, we've got a plan in place to repurpose the old fileserver as a new archive server. Needs the purchase of two largish NAS hard drives, and a full refresh of the OS and some scripting etc, but after that, we're good to go.

I'm gonna put #guix on it so it's reproducible in case the old device dies (motherboard is 9 years old), and gonna use #borgmatic to do the internal and offsite backup drives. The deduplication should make all this stuff work and we should be able to keep years of history

Ok, thanks to @borgmatic I have a backup that is running and sending data to a repurposed backup drive that used to be formatted to my old backup scheme and is now fully assimilated to the borg.

I'm gonna run it for a few weeks, then convert my other hard drive that I swap between... and once those have run for a month or two I'll swap one of them to my offsite location and convert my current offsite drive. Slow, steady, and with a fallback at all times!

#borgmatic #borgbackup #borg

#borgmatic friends. I have several backup drives that I rotate through. If I list each of their mount points in the borgmatic config, and the drive isn't mounted so the path doesn't exist, will borgmatic error out, or continue with the additionally listed destinations?

ideally It'd just update whatever drives I have mounted, and skip over whatever ones I don't.

borgmatic 2.1.2 has been released with fixes to unicode decoding, consistency checks, and the ntfy monitoring hook.

Borgmatic notifications via Home Assistant

In the past i normally used Telegram for all kinds of notifications in my smarthome and homelab. I mean it simply was easy and convenient with its bot feature. But the platform become more and more ethical problematic in the past years. Thats quite sad because back in 2013 it was a really good alternative to Whatsapp (which i never used). Crossplattform with optional encryption and not owned by some Techbros from Silicon Valley. Nevertheless: nowadays you connect Telegram with Terrorism, Fascists and all kind of bogus people who run their extremist platforms on the Telegram Channel feature. You now could say: dont kill the messenger, but i better chose to migrate.

Migrating my Borgmatic notifications is not hard at all but there is a small caveat because Borgmatic uses yaml files use colons as delimiter, which is kind of bad when you use curl to pass a json payload.

But first of all you need a Webhook endpoint in Home Assistant for your notification. This is really easy done. Navigate to Atutomations & Scenes in HA than add a new automation and paste the following yaml:

alias: Borgmatic backup notification
description: Sends backup notifictaions
triggers:
  - webhook_id: backup_notification
    allowed_methods:
      - POST
    local_only: false
    trigger: webhook
conditions: []
actions:
  - data:
      message: "{{ trigger.json.Message }}"
      title: Backup Status
    action: notify.your_smartphone_etc
mode: single

Remember this is a yaml, so no tabs but spaces for indentation. Obviously you can change alias, description, webhook_id and put your smartphone etc into the action. Thats it for the Home Assistant part.

Next you need to put the correct commands into the Borgmatic config.yaml so that the currect curl command will be triggered when a backup ist started, finished or failed. I will just post the hook section here which is needed.

hooks:
    before_backup:
        - echo "Starting a backup."
        - > 
          /usr/bin/curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Message":"Started Backup"}' http://YourHAIP:8123/api/webhook/backup_notification
    after_backup:
        - echo "Finished a backup."
        - >
          /usr/bin/curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Message":"Finisched Backup"}' http://YourHAIP:8123/api/webhook/backup_notification
    on_error:
        - echo "Error during prune/create/check."
        - > 
          /usr/bin/curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"Message":"Backup Error"}' http://YourHAIP:8123/api/webhook/backup_notification

Sorry for the bad formatting in WordPress. The special thing is that you need to use multiline yaml (recognizeable because of the – > ), i tried puttung the whole curl commands in braces which did not work.

Nevertheless, i get me notifications now onto my smartphone via Home Assistant. Dont know if that is the end of the journey or if i will switch one time to Matrix or XMPP for my notifications.

By the way this may not only work with Home Assistant but also with all other services receiving their data via Webhooks and json payload.

Have fun

Finally moved the Borgmatic Notifications from Telegram to Homeassistant so i can now abbandon Telegram.

Borg-ui and Vorta are nice BorgBackup frontends

I’ve been using Borgmatic, a Python frontend to BorgBackup, to handle backups of my photo archive.

For a few months I had trusted macOS Time Machine to do that job, but somehow, the APFS container or something got corrupted, and I had to format a 12TB external drive to fix it. Time Machine was interrupted while making a backup and corrupted an index irreparibly. We have occasional power cuts so I did not want that to happen again.

So, back to BorgBackup. I had used it before but I wasn’t happy with how I had it configured. I don’t remember what it was now, because the reasons are lost in the mists of time. I decided to look into Borgmatic to help run BorgBackup and it made configuring it fairly easy.

Borgmatic is a configuration-based tool, so you create a .yml file defining the directories to backup, where the backup repo lives, and then run it whenever you want to create a new backup. I have it running once a day because my photo library doesn’t change that often.

Browsing BorgBackup repositories was a weak point of the system, but there are two good options:

• Vorta
• Borg-ui

I tried Vorta before, but you need to mount the repository to browse it, and I didn’t want to go down the route of installing a macFUSE kernel mod. However, I see from their website some promising news:

Thanks to the new FSKit backend in macFUSE, supported file systems can now run entirely in user space on macOS 26. That means no more rebooting into recovery mode to enable support for the macFUSE kernel extension. Installation is faster and setup becomes a seamless experience.

If you’re only extracting backups, you can safely ignore the popup that demands you give Vorta full-disk access.

I noticed that the Vorta app behaves like a popup window on macOS. It’s not possible to CMD-TAB to it, and it has no menu system in the top admin bar. It’s not even in the Dock. You’ll have to run it from Spotlight/Alfred/Raycast and it will be shown.

From the Archives tab, it is possible to “Extract…” from a repository that doesn’t require mounting of the backup and that does work. If you have a large repository you may see the infamous spinning colour ball if you’re using a Mac as it gets all the file info. Give it time. It may take more than a minute to show you a file listing.

I’m also investigating a web-based borg-ui that runs in a Docker container. That allows me to restrict access only to the directories I want to back up or restore, or as I have configured it now, it only has access to the backup repositories and a restore directory. I don’t need to restore files very often so I can shut down the container and only launch it when I need to.

Browsing or extracting files using Borg-ui is just as slow as in Vorta, but it has a spinning animation in a modal popup to stop you from trying to restore twice.

If you’re not familiar with Docker, give Vorta a go, but borg-ui is definitely worth a look too. Don’t depend on either of them to do your backups. That should be automated so you don’t need to remember to do it.

You should of course have a remote backup, and for that I recommend Backblaze. I’ve been using them for years. Thankfully I’ve hardly ever had to restore more than a few files from them but I check it semi-regularly. Sign up through here and I’ll get a free month if you pay for it!

Another task completed for the home lab. Something that should have been done earlier. :yikes:

Got BorgMatic backups running on my workhorse server that hosts postmarks, gotosocial, owncast and a few websites. They are being pushed to the cloud (BorgBase) and to an attached storage drive.

Backing up daily, weekly, and monthly via cron job.

Verified backups can be restored. 🎉

#BorgMatic #Borg #BorgBase #HomeLab

Spent some time learning about BorgMatic, Borg Backup, and BorgBase. I'm borged out. Made some progress, not as much as I'd hoped.

Running this instance in a container and then changing some of the default volume locations was a mistake. Lesson learned.

https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/

#BorgMatic #BorgBase #BorgBackup

#PSA: if you're running your own instance (or really ANYTHING), please do your #backups right.

I'm a chaotic person traveling a lot esp. now, and a good #backup strategy has saved my dumb backend countless times.

3-2-1 rule rocks, and I can recommend #borgmatic #borgbackup. #restic also works good for #Windows machines, but there is also #Kopia that I'm testing now.

You can always get some cheap storage with any provider you like - #Backblaze #Borgbase #rsync.net etc.

🚀 #BorgWarehouse v2.4 is out with a lot of new features ! 🚀

- 💫 Manage your repositories through a secure REST API !
- 💫 Globally disable repository deletion.
- 💫 Better integration of #Pika Backup
- ...

See the changelog :
https://github.com/Ravinou/borgwarehouse/releases/tag/v2.4.0

All the documentation is up-to-date !

The holidays gave me a lot of time to work on this release, which I'm really proud of! Have fun and share it!

#BorgBackup #Borg #PikaBackup #Borgmatic

Summer vacations are all about having a good time, and finding time to work on your opensource project. 🌴

Some great features are coming to BorgWarehouse in the next few days, including API repository control!

Stay tuned, v2.4.0 is coming 💫

#BorgWarehouse #BorgBackup #Borgmatic

@cryptgoat Unless you want to be writing your own backup scripts, you should probably compare the higher-level backup software that wraps each of #Restic and #BorgBackup. For instance: #autorestic and #borgmatic.

What's your preferred method of #backup a #Linux server (I'm running #debian) in order to recover from a disaster?

How about backing up user data?

I think #zpaq might be great for user data and the like, but anything that might need file permissions or the sort (?) something like #borgmatic might be a better idea?
