Ian Wienand ac11734cf9 ansible-lint : disable 503
This has got me a number of times; I think we can tell in review if a
task firing in response to a "changed" is best in a handler or not.

Remove existing noqa flags

Configure a host to be backed up

This role setups a host to use bup for backup to any hosts in the backup-server group.

A separate ssh key will be generated for root to connect to the backup server(s) and the host key for the backup servers will be accepted to the host.

The bup tool is installed and a cron job is setup to run the backup periodically.

Note the backup-server role must run after this to create the user correctly on the backup server. This role sets a tuple bup_user with the username and public key; the backup-server role uses this variable for each host in the backup group to initalise users.

Role Variables

The username to connect to the backup server. If this is left undefined, it will be automatically set to bup-$(hostname)
