msgid "The playbook can install and configure [BorgBackup](https://www.borgbackup.org/) (short: Borg) with [borgmatic](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/) for you."
msgid "BorgBackup is a deduplicating backup program with optional compression and encryption. That means your daily incremental backups can be stored in a fraction of the space and is safe whether you store it at home or on a cloud service."
msgid "You will need a remote server where BorgBackup will store the backups. There are hosted, BorgBackup compatible solutions available, such as [BorgBase](https://www.borgbase.com)."
msgid "By default, if you're using the integrated Postgres database server (as opposed to [an external Postgres server](configuring-playbook-external-postgres.md)), backups with BorgBackup will also include dumps of your Postgres database."
msgid "Unless you disable the Postgres-backup support, make sure that the Postgres version of your homeserver's database is compatible with borgmatic. You can check the compatible versions [here](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg/blob/main/defaults/main.yml)."
msgid "An alternative solution for backing up the Postgres database is [postgres backup](configuring-playbook-postgres-backup.md). If you decide to go with another solution, you can disable Postgres-backup support for BorgBackup using the `backup_borg_postgresql_enabled` variable."
msgid "The **private** key needs to be added to `backup_borg_ssh_key_private` on your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file as below."
msgid "**Note**: `REPO` will be initialized on backup start, for example: `matrix`. See [Remote repositories](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/general.html#repository-urls) for the syntax."
msgid "It is also possible to configure a retention strategy. To configure it, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file (adapt to your needs):"
msgid "By default the backup will run 4 a.m. every day based on the `backup_borg_schedule` variable. It is defined in the format of systemd timer calendar."
msgid "**Note**: the actual job may run with a delay. See `backup_borg_schedule_randomized_delay_sec` [here](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg/blob/f5d5b473d48c6504be10b3d946255ef5c186c2a6/defaults/main.yml#L50) for its default value."
msgid "`backup_borg_location_source_directories` defines the list of directories to back up. It's set to `{{ matrix_base_data_path }}` by default, which is the base directory for every service's data, such as Synapse, Postgres and the bridges."
msgid "You might also want to exclude certain directories or file patterns from the backup using the `backup_borg_location_exclude_patterns` variable."
msgid "[backup_borg role](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg)'s [`defaults/main.yml`](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg/blob/main/defaults/main.yml) for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `backup_borg_configuration_extension_yaml` variable"
msgid "`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too."
msgid "This will not return until the backup is done, so it can possibly take a long time. Consider using [tmux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmux) if your SSH connection is unstable."
