This formula makes it easy to configure dirvish to backup your data and keep them around for some predefined amount of time.
Note
See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.
Install dirvish and configures it according to the pillar data.
Note: dirvish will use ssh (as root) to remote servers. It's up to you to ensure that the ssh connection works non-interactively. You might have to configure /root/.ssh/known_hosts and setup SSH keys on the remote servers.
See the pillar.example file to have an idea of everything that can be customized in this formula.
