When I copy a file with ansible it backups file(wrote backup=yes). My question is about filename that is default created by ansible.



config.xml.6634.2018-05-22@17:52:12~



What does 6634 means in this filename?

          It's the process ID of the remote Ansible process, as can be seen here in the source code:



                      ext = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d@%H:%M:%S~", time.localtime(time.time()))
          backupdest = '%s.%s.%s' % (fn, os.getpid(), ext)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^


          This added in this commit (Ansible 2.2.0.0) to improve the odds that the generated filename is unique, probably in case two Ansible processes try to overwrite the same file within the same second.

            ^^^^^^^^^^^
