New in version 1.7.9 To backup
SQLite with borgmatic, use the sqlite_databases: hook. For example:
sqlite_databases:
- name: mydb
path: /var/lib/sqlite3/mydb.sqlite
Full configuration
# List of one or more SQLite databases to dump before creating a
# backup, run once per configuration file. The database dumps are
# added to your source directories at runtime and streamed directly to
# Borg. Requires the sqlite3 command. See https://sqlite.org/cli.html
# for details.
sqlite_databases:
# This is used to tag the database dump file with a name.
# It is not the path to the database file itself. The name
# "all" has no special meaning for SQLite databases.
- name: users
# Path to the SQLite database file to dump. If relative,
# it is relative to the current working directory. Note
# that using this database hook implicitly enables
# read_special (see above) to support dump and restore
# streaming.
path: /var/lib/sqlite/users.db
# Label to identify the database dump in the backup.
label: my_backup_label
# Path to the SQLite database file to restore to. Defaults
# to the "path" option.
restore_path: /var/lib/sqlite/users.db
# Command to use instead of "sqlite3". This can be used to
# run a specific sqlite3 version (e.g., one inside a
# running container). If you run it from within a
# container, make sure to mount the path in the
# "user_runtime_directory" option from the host into the
# container at the same location. Defaults to "sqlite3".
sqlite_command: docker exec sqlite_container sqlite3
# Command to run when restoring a database instead
# of "sqlite3". This can be used to run a specific
# sqlite3 version (e.g., one inside a running container).
# Defaults to "sqlite3".
sqlite_restore_command: docker exec sqlite_container sqlite3
