debops.rsnapshot

The rsnapshot script is a wrapper around the rsync command that allows creation and management of snapshotted backups of local or remote filesystems. Periodic snapshots are created using cron jobs and use hard links to perform deduplication.

The debops.rsnapshot Ansible role acts as another "layer" above rsnapshot. The role can configure snapshotted backups of the local host to internal or removable storage, as well as create snapshotted backups of remote hosts over SSH.
