Hey Maciej. That scenario (backing up entire directores) is totally supported as well via the backup role and feeding it a list of directories. The reason I *also* support being explicit with site backups out of the box is two-fold; + site files are typically contained in distributed git repositories; and only server configurations and assets (e.g. CMS uploads) need be backed up + site applications often [and by default] produce a ton of temporary files inside the document root which have no business being part of the backup routine -- I've had many a failed backup caused by attempting to rsync smarty cache files or magento var directories on remotely mounted storage/NFS. Additionally, being explicit leads to smaller backup sizes that cost less and take less time to make. ~ Brice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
