EHER.duplicity_backup

Ansible role to install, configure and schedule backups via duplicity and duplicity_backup script.

variables

• eher_duplicity_backup_destination - Url to where the backup will be stored in duplicity format
• eher_duplicity_backup_root - The commom root path of your backup to be ignored into archives
• eher_duplicity_backup_include_list - A list of paths to be included into backup
• eher_duplicity_backup_exclude_list - A list of paths to be excluded from backup
• eher_duplicity_backup_ftp_password - Password to be used if you will store into ftp
• eher_duplicity_backup_time - Time when the backup will run in special_time format
• eher_duplicity_backup_encryption - Enable backup encryption (yes/no)
• eher_duplicity_backup_passphrase - A passphrase to be used into encryption

how it works

Just add a role with a list of paths to backup and destinations details (s3 on the example)

---
# site.yml
- hosts: duplicity_backup
  sudo: yes
  tags: duplicity_backup
  roles:
    - role: EHER.duplicity_backup
      eher_duplicity_backup_include_list: [ "/home/" ]
      eher_duplicity_backup_destination: "s3://s3.amazonaws.com/my_backup_bucket/"
      eher_duplicity_backup_aws_key: "{{ backup_aws_key }}"
      eher_duplicity_backup_aws_secret: "{{ backup_aws_secret }}"

A more complex example with all variables

---
# site.yml
- hosts: duplicity_backup
  sudo: yes
  tags: duplicity_backup
  roles:
    - role: EHER.duplicity_backup
      eher_duplicity_backup_root: /home
      eher_duplicity_backup_include_list: [ "/home/eher/", "/home/git/" ]
      eher_duplicity_backup_exclude_list: [ "/home/vagrant/" ]
      eher_duplicity_backup_destination: "s3://s3.amazonaws.com/my_backup_bucket/{{ ansible_hostname }}/"
      eher_duplicity_backup_aws_key: "{{ backup_aws_key }}"
      eher_duplicity_backup_aws_secret: "{{ backup_aws_secret }}"
      eher_duplicity_backup_time: hourly
      eher_duplicity_backup_encryption: yes
      eher_duplicity_backup_passphrase: "NotSecret"

installation

I recommend you to use Ansible Galaxy to install roles.

ansible-galaxy install EHER.duplicity_backup

or

ansible-galaxy install -p roles EHER.duplicity_backup
