Bit confused as mariabackup isn't a service, but I suppose you could run it as such on a timer. Yeah, that's it.
I want to start hourly backups using a systemd timer and in the corresponding service I want ProtectSystem=strict. That tells systemd to run mariabackup in a sandbox with nearly all the filesystem mounted as read-only. This is appealing if the backup process has access to the datadir. Tom
