This is one the few packages I have that isn't developer-oriented and is
relatively simple. Not that I don't want to see developer-oriented packages in
Contrib. I certainly would, but since this we're trying to come up with a
workflow, I figured we should start with something that has a wider appeal and
can be tested easily by non-developers.
Also, this is a package that used to reside in Factory. I took over
maintainership from cthiel@suse.de for the purpose of submitting to Contrib.
Name: duplicity
Summary: Encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup using the rsync algorithm
URL: http://duplicity.nongnu.org/
Version: 0.4.12
License: GPL v3 or later
Devproject: home:jimfunk
Description::
Duplicity incrementally backs up files and directory by encrypting
tar-format volumes with GnuPG and uploading them to a remote (or local)
file server. In theory many remote backends are possible; right now
local, ssh/scp, ftp, rsync, HSI, WebDAV, and Amazon S3 backends are
written.
Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space
efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since
the last backup. Currently duplicity supports deleted files, full unix
permissions, directories, symbolic links, fifos, etc., but not hard
links.
