+# Borger
+
+A script for home folder backups using [Borg](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io).
+
+# Features
+
+* Multiple destinations using config files.
+* Automatically initializes repository in the remote destination.
+* Automatically pruning of old backups.
+
+# Usage
+
+Create a config for your `servername` destination at `~/.config/borger/servername`:
+
+ # Backup destination
+ export SSH_SERVER="user@host"
+ export SSH_PORT="2202"
+
+ # Repository path
+ export BORG_REPO_DIR="/var/backups/users/$USER/borg"
+ export BORG_REPO="ssh://$SSH_SERVER:$SSH_PORT/$BORG_REPO_DIR"
+
+ # Setting one of those, so you won't be asked for your repository passphrase:
+ #export BORG_PASSPHRASE='HACKME'
+ #export BORG_PASSCOMMAND='pass show backup'
+ #export BORG_PASSCOMMAND='keyringer default decrypt borg 2> /dev/null'
+
+ # Backup config
+ keepdaily="7"
+ keepweekly="4"
+ keepmonth="6"
+ encryption="keyfile"
+ placeholder="{user}"
+
+Then run borger:
+
+ borger servername
+
+# Checking your backups
+
+As simply as
+
+ borger servername --check
