Documentation needed: configuration file & dependency 'borgmatic' #41

I've came across this project when looking for a borg exporter. It took me some time to understand after some digging borg is not directly used or supported, but borgmatic seems to be used as some kind of bridge or layer on top.

While borgmatic is invoked to collect the information for the metrics, it seems to be not installed / required by this project as a (Python-) dependency.

Can you please clarify for those not into borgmatic

Thanks!

Would you like to provide a PR since you're the first to bring up the confusing docs?

I've compiled borgmatic into a Python binary here: https://github.com/danihodovic/borgmatic-binary
