AutoMySqlBackup

This role installs AutoMysqlBackup on a debian system.

The original AutoMysqlBackup utility is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ but it does not seem to be supported at this time and there are problems with Mysql 5.6 and 5.7 so we recommend using this fork: https://github.com/sixhop/AutoMySQLBackup

The AutomysqlBackup source is configurable but all default are set to use sixhop fork.

Requirements

None
