Type of Report

BUG

Actual behaviour

Configuration of multiple rsnapshot tasks not works.

The role should be created to run the multi.yml if 'wtd_rsnapshot_config_multi' is set to true. But if the variable is set to true the multi.yml got skipped furthermore.

Expected behaviour

Configuration of multiple rsnapshot tasks works.
Resolving skipping issue if 'wtd_rsnapshot_config_multi' is set to true.

Could you explain this a little bit more?

@daniel-wtd I have update the issue a bit.

Additional to this issue, i will also add more information into the README.md and also cleanup some not needed code.

If you have further questions, go on and ask :)

As discussed via chat yesterday:

The idea is to have multiple rsnapshot instances/configurations managed via systemd-timers.
As we should use the systemd-timer anyways, I suggest to have something like a dictionary for configurations. No additional trigger would be needed.

- wtd_rsnapshot_configs:
    - name: my_first_config
      x: foo
      y: bar
      z: baz
   - name: my_second_config
      x: alice
      y: bob
      z: peter

Now you loop over the dictionary and could use the same task-list/template per iteration.
