About

When the add-on is started the following happens:

1. Snapshot are being created locally with a timestamp name, e.g. Automatic Backup 2018-03-04 04:00.
2. The snapshot are copied to the specified remote location using rsync.
3. The local backups are removed.

Note the filenames of the backup are given by their assigned slug.

This was tested using rsync on a HAOS on Raspberry Pi 3 (64bits).
