-# Backup Directory Validator
-
-## Description
-
-This Ansible role installs the [directory-validator](https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/directory-validator.git). It is used by the sys-ctl-bkp-docker-2-loc and sys-ctl-cln-faild-bkps roles to verify whether backups have been successfully created.
-
-## Overview
-
-The role retrieves the latest version of the directory-validator from its Git repository and installs it into the designated folder (configured via the `backup_directory_validator_folder` variable). A fact is set to ensure that the repository is pulled only once per playbook run.
-
-## Purpose
-
-The primary purpose of this role is to validate backup directories. By fetching the directory-validator tool, it enables dependent roles to assess the integrity and success of backup operations.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Git Repository Pull:** Automatically pulls the latest version of the directory-validator from Git.
-- **Idempotent Execution:** Ensures that the repository is fetched only once per playbook run.
-- **Backup Verification:** Serves as a validation step for other sys-bkp-related roles.
-- **Configurable Destination:** The target folder is customizable via the `backup_directory_validator_folder` variable.
