## Upgrading
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In general, all you should need to do to upgrade borgmatic is run the
|
||
|
|
following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo pip3 install --upgrade borgmatic
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See below about special cases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Upgrading from borgmatic 1.0.x
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
borgmatic changed its configuration file format in version 1.1.0 from
|
||
|
|
INI-style to YAML. This better supports validation, and has a more natural way
|
||
|
|
to express lists of values. To upgrade your existing configuration, first
|
||
|
|
upgrade to the new version of borgmatic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of version 1.1.0, borgmatic no longer supports Python 2. If you were
|
||
|
|
already running borgmatic with Python 3, then you can upgrade borgmatic
|
||
|
|
in-place:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo pip3 install --upgrade borgmatic
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But if you were running borgmatic with Python 2, uninstall and reinstall instead:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo pip uninstall borgmatic
|
||
|
|
sudo pip3 install borgmatic
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The pip binary names for different versions of Python can differ, so the above
|
||
|
|
commands may need some tweaking to work on your machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once borgmatic is upgraded, run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo upgrade-borgmatic-config
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That will generate a new YAML configuration file at /etc/borgmatic/config.yaml
|
||
|
|
(by default) using the values from both your existing configuration and
|
||
|
|
excludes files. The new version of borgmatic will consume the YAML
|
||
|
|
configuration file instead of the old one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Upgrading from atticmatic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can ignore this section if you're not an atticmatic user (the former name
|
||
|
|
of borgmatic).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
borgmatic only supports Borg now and no longer supports Attic. So if you're
|
||
|
|
an Attic user, consider switching to Borg. See the [Borg upgrade
|
||
|
|
command](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#borg-upgrade)
|
||
|
|
for more information. Then, follow the instructions above about setting up
|
||
|
|
your borgmatic configuration files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you were already using Borg with atticmatic, then you can upgrade
|
||
|
|
from atticmatic to borgmatic by running the following commands:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo pip3 uninstall atticmatic
|
||
|
|
sudo pip3 install borgmatic
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's it! borgmatic will continue using your /etc/borgmatic configuration
|
||
|
|
files.
