This module provides backup rotation logic for arbitrary files.
- Daily, weekly and monthly backups as cronjob
- Local and remote backups supported
- Compressed backups (tar and gz is used).
- Backup file structure is completely adaptable.
- Configure an email address to get notified if your backup source isn't available.
- Works incrementally (can complete interrupted backups after reboot e.g., uses rsync)
- Completely configurable how long you plan to preserve your backup files
- Optionally use your own synchronisation, compression and/or cleanup tool
Run this script daily to generate your configured backup file structure.

systemctl enable backup-rotation.timerto enable the backup logic. After running:
