borg_source_directories: List of local folders to back up.

Optional Arguments

borg_encryption_passcommand: The standard output of this command is used to unlock the encryption key.
borg_encryption_passphrase: Password to use for repokey or keyfile. Empty if repo is unencrypted.
borg_exclude_from: Read exclude patterns from one or more separate named files, one pattern per line.
borg_exclude_patterns: Paths or patterns to exclude from backup. See official documentation for more.

borg_remote_rate_limit: Remote network upload rate limit in kiBytes/second.
borg_retention_policy: Retention policy for how many backups to keep in each category (daily, weekly, monthly, etc).
borg_ssh_command: Command to use instead of just "ssh". This can be used to specify ssh options.
borgmatic_check_last: Number of archives to check. Defaults to 3
borgmatic_checks: List of consistency checks. Defaults to ['repository']

borg_install_method: By default pip is used to install borgmatic. To install via your distributions package manager set this to package and (if needed) overwrite the borg_distro_packages variable to contain your distributions package names required to install borgmatic. Note that many distributions ship outdated versions of borgbackup and borgmatic; use at your own risk.
borg_distro_packages: contains the names of distributions packages for borg(backup) and borgmatic, only used if borg_install_method is set to package.
