For hosts that are backed up.

Ensure a /etc/backup/pattern config file is present that describes the files to be backed up. This is passed to rysnc as --filter="merge /etc/backup/pattern".
+ /etc
+ /home
- /home/*/.local/share/Trash
+ /var
- /var/cache
All directories should be specified relative to the root folder. Folders in the root folder are excluded unless they are explicity included.
See the FILTER RULES section of the rsync man page for more details for more details on how to define the directories to be backed up.
For servers that store backups.
Managed by https://github.com/3sd/ansible backup role.
Ensure a /etc/backup/hosts file is present that describes the hosts for which backups should be collected. The host name will be used as the backup directory name.
Hosts can reference a host definition in /root/.ssh/config. This enables you to specify ssh keys, bastion hosts, etc. for each connection. Note that the remote user should be able to run sudo rysnc on the host to be backed up.
