ansible_role_restic_archiver
======================
ansible role to "archive" restic backups.
The scenario for this role is:
- You have the restic rest server running in write-only mode
- you send backups from other servers to your restic backup server
Now you don't want to store all backups indefinitely, but only for the last days a daily backup and otherwise weekly, monthly, yearly a few... just like you do it.
Of course you don't want to give access to others, so you solve the whole thing with a local cronjob. And this cronjob is built with this Ansible role.
As a bonus feature, you can optionally transfer the backups to another disk (even with a different password). Which is also a very charming backup concept from a security point of view.
this role does not install restic. For that, we recommend [this ansible role](https://github.com/arillso/ansible.restic.git).
We have had good experience with this role for the [restic rest server](https://github.com/donat-b/ansible-restic-rest.git).
