Hello, guys. Regarding this topics, I have a couple of question backup/restore Ansible core. If anyone knows about this, let me know this . -How to backup/restore Ansible core 2.17? F.Y.I I have installed this on Azure. -If Ansible Core does not have this method, how to backup/restore this? I guess that there is a backup of Ansible’s Core configuration files and the module information that I installed. Thank you ---

Hi there, If you’re looking for a way to save all your inventory data, playbooks etc, you’ll want to look into using git. Saving everything in a git repository allows you to upload it all to a centralized server (Github, Azure, Bitbucket, some other git server etc.). Do take special care to properly protect your password/secret variables with `ansible-vault` Afterwards, you can restore your ansible project on any machine that has access to git and continue your work from there. ---

Hi @Yone0930, welcome to the forum. I hope @Thulium-Drake helped you solve the doubt. I’m moving the thread to the #Get Help category, as this is in English and not localized.
