Ansible role - Synology Active Backup Agent - Ubuntu

Ansible role to install and configure Synology Active Backup for Business agent on ubuntu (tested with Ubuntu 18.04.)

⚠️ This role is still very basic and was only tested on Ubuntu 18.04. It was used to successfully install and configure the agent to the point where it successfully connects to the NAS and backups can be managed from there.
