Allow multiple passphrases for repo key #9743

Feature request

It would be nice if it was possible to have multiple pass phrases for the key to a Borg repo. Much like for LUKS disc encryption.

My use case

In our company we would like to have encrypted backups for all employees, where the employees can choose their own passphrase, but also also the IT administration needs to be able to access the backups in case of an accident/vacation/resignation.

Workaround

What we currently do:

  • IT administration creates repository on backup server, with passphrase 1.
  • Export of repo key.
  • Employee gets access to repository, changes passphrase to their own.
  • If necessary, IT copies repo to another place and uses the backed up repo key to access the data.

This of course is quite cumbersome and not really feasible for regular health checks of the repository.
