Table of Contents
xtraLocations.borg
This is a plain-text list of additional files and directories you'd like the script to include in your backup. Entries should be listed one per line. By convention, directories should include a trailing slash but this is not required. For example, let's include the following locations in our backup:
/home/jsmith/
/etc/program/*.conf
/etc/foo.bar
/opt/foo
The above would include:
- the entire directory /home/jsmith/ and all files and subdirectories contained therein;
- all files in /etc/program/ directory with the extension .conf;
- the individual file /etc/foo.bar; and
- the directory /opt/foo, notice that the lack of trailing slash doesn't matter.
This file is strictly optional but recommended since it's often nice to include your server configuration and/or things like reverse-proxy configurations when backing up your mailcow installation. Remember, the script will backup the following regardless of this file's contents:
- mailcow directory (whatever directory contains mailcow.conf)
- mailcow SQL database
- the following mailcow volumes:
- vmail
- rspamd
- postfix
- redis
- crypt
If you want to skip processing this file, simply comment-out the related configuration key in backup.details:
#borgXtraListPath=...
If you want to use a different file to list additional locations, simply update the entry in backup.details to point to that file. Bear in mind that the structure of that file must still be as indicated above:
borgXtraListPath='/path/to/your/xtraLocations.list'
