Sets up a project for regular database/folder backups to a specified backup storage script ( probably zbackup).
This role also sets up a restore script.
It also sets up a cron job to do call our backup script regularly. Of course, restoration is expected to be triggered manually, so we don't set up any cron for it.
- Ansible 2.0+
- Debian Jessie deployment target
- A backup storage script that takes a tar file as stdin and properly backs it up
- A backup storage script spits its latest tar file to stdout
- Optionally, a script that dumps/restore a DB SQL file
