This role will install and configure backupninja based on my own needs. It uses a temporal folder to create a full backup of a list of directories and encrypt it using GPG. My recommendation is to use it to backup config files and databases to do a quick disaster recovery plan in small servers and PCs.
This role has been tested against Debian, Ubuntu and Centos in their last versions but it may work in other systems too.
To use this role you should have installed:
- tar, gzip
