For any application, especially something as critical as Ansible Automation Platform (AAP), customers often need to have a backup process in place. The traditional, vm-based installer (setup.sh) for AAP also handles the backup process which can be scheduled to run by various mechanisms (same applies for bare-metal). Since we have AAP, why not Ansible? I finally got around to writing and scheduling my backups which includes an upload to S3 for storage purposes. In the future, the container-based installer backup process might look a bit different, but the workflow should still apply.
