App::BorgRestore::Settings(3pm)

NAME
App::BorgRestore::Settings - Settings package

DESCRIPTION
App::BorgRestore::Settings searches for configuration files in the following locations in order. The first file found will be used, any later ones are ignored. If no files are found, defaults are used.

•   $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/borg-restore.cfg

•   /etc/borg-restore.cfg

  Configuration Options
You can set the following options in the config file.

Note that the configuration file is parsed as a perl script. Thus you can also use any features available in perl itself.

$borg_repo
    This specifies the URL to the borg repo as used in other borg commands. If you use the $BORG_REPO environment variable leave this empty.

$cache_path_base
    This defaults to "$XDG_CACHE_HOME/borg-restore.pl". It contains the lookup database.

@backup_prefixes
    This is an array of prefixes that need to be added when looking up a file in the backup archives. If you use filesystem snapshots and the snapshot for /home is located at /mnt/snapshots/home, you have to add the following:

    # In the backup archives, /home has the path /mnt/snapshots/home {regex => "^/home/", replacement => "mnt/snapshots/home/"},

    The regex must always include the leading slash and it is suggested to include a tailing slash as well to prevent clashes with directories that start with the same string. The first regex that matches for a given file is used. This setting only affects lookups, it does not affect the creation of the database with --update-database.

$sqlite_cache_size
    Default: 102400

    The size of the in-memory cache of sqlite in kibibytes. This should be large enough to fit the database so that adding new backup data does not need to use the disk too much.

  Example Configuration
 $borg_repo = "/path/to/repo";
 $cache_path_base = "/mnt/somewhere/borg-restore.pl-cache";
 @backup_prefixes = (
        {regex => "^/home/", replacement => "mnt/snapshots/home/"},
        # /boot is not snapshotted
        {regex => "^/boot", replacement => ""},
        {regex => "^/", replacement => "mnt/snapshots/root/"},
 );
 $sqlite_cache_size = 2097152;
