+<span class="minilink minilink-addedin">New in version 1.7.15</span> As part
|
|
|
+of creating a backup archive, borgmatic automatically includes all of the
|
|
|
+configuration files used when creating it, storing them inside the archive
|
|
|
+itself with their full paths from the machine being backed up. This is useful
|
|
|
+in cases where you've lost a configuration file or you want to see what
|
|
|
+configurations were used to create a particular archive.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To support this, borgmatic creates a manifest file that records the paths of
|
|
|
+all the borgmatic configuration files stored within an archive. The file gets
|
|
|
+written to borgmatic's runtime directory on disk and then stored within the
|
|
|
+archive. See the [runtime directory
|
|
|
+documentation](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/backup-your-databases/#runtime-directory)
|
|
|
+for how and where that happens.

To extract the configuration files from an archive, use the `config bootstrap`
|
|
|
action. For example:
