The full name of the machine in reverse domain name notation.
.TP
.B {now}
The current local date and time, by default in ISO\-8601 format.
You can also supply your own \fI\%format string\fP, e.g. {now:%Y\-%m\-%d_%H:%M:%S}
.TP
.B {utcnow}
The current UTC date and time, by default in ISO\-8601 format.

.sp
If literal curly braces need to be used, double them for escaping:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
borg create /path/to/repo::{{literal_text}}
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Examples:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
borg create /path/to/repo::{hostname}\-{user}\-{utcnow} ...
borg create /path/to/repo::{hostname}\-{now:%Y\-%m\-%d_%H:%M:%S%z} ...
borg prune \-a \(aqsh:{hostname}\-*\(aq ...
.ft P

.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
systemd uses a difficult, non\-standard syntax for command lines in unit files (refer to
the \fIsystemd.unit(5)\fP manual page).
.sp
When invoking borg from unit files, pay particular attention to escaping,
especially when using the now/utcnow placeholders, since systemd performs its own
%\-based variable replacement even in quoted text. To avoid interference from systemd,
double all percent signs (\fB{hostname}\-{now:%Y\-%m\-%d_%H:%M:%S}\fP
becomes \fB{hostname}\-{now:%%Y\-%%m\-%%d_%%H:%%M:%%S}\fP).
