This role installs kopia and configures it for backups. It was developed and tested with Debain, but it might work with other Debian based distributions.
The role doesn't initialize the repository for backups, you need to provide the correct configuration for an existing backup repository.
The default kopia_repository_config assumes a setup, where backups are proxied over a repostory server.
If you need a different kind of repository, you will need to adjust the config accordingly.
Creation of appropriate user accounts on the repository server is also beyond the scope of this role.
Additionally, the provided kopia_ignore_patterns are placed in /etc/kopia/.kopiaignore.
Your global policy (or a local one, if you want to configure this on a per-host basis) needs to include that in the dot-ignore list.
