Hi, as some of you have signaled that they have large deployments of rdiff-backup, an automated way to deploy rdiff-backup might be useful. It can also hide some of the complexity of the installation, once it's been fine tuned. The collection can be grabbed from: https://galaxy.ansible.com/rdiffbackup/rdiff_backup And is maintained at: https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-ansible If someone with Ansible knowledge, or willing to learn it, wants to lead the maintenance, I would be more than happy to support him or her. For now, the installation works on the recent versions of the mainstream Linux distros, for which rdiff-backup is packaged by this team, and for Windows 2019/10. Introducing some fall-back installation approaches using the package and/or pip modules would be the next logical step. Installing/Configuring an SSH client on Windows could also be an interesting add-on.
