Feature request - default list and per repo default options

Open ge79so opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

Unless I have somehow missed existing functionality to achieve this, it would be useful to be able to specify:

  • default options for FORMAT (eg in /etc/borg/borg.conf - no such file seems to exist here)
  • per repo options for FORMAT, perhaps via borg config
  • per archive?

These could be overridden by any --format string, which might revert to unadulterated defaults + whatever --format contains.

Thanks, Gareth

IIRC we already have a ticket about this. #346 (maybe other also).

If we want to do something like that, we would need some comfortable way in the code to implement that, without having to care for each option and each way to configure it separately.

OTOH, tools like borgmatic (and other wrappers) exist already.
