I love the whole idea of duplicity. One thing that threw me for a bit a
loop which I think should be included in the document is that the scp:
backend paths are relative to the user's home directory. For example:
scp://address@hidden/mnt/backup/toohey
send to ~ry4an/mnt/backup/toohey on roark, and in order to get something
rooted at the root I have to use the fairly non-intuitive syntax:
scp://address@hidden//mnt/backup/toohey
Have you considered going with the scp standard and using:
scp://address@hidden:/mnt/backup/toohey
The two colons in there still yeilds a perfectly valid URN given the
RFC2141 URN definitions.
That said, I'm wondering what solutions people have used for storing
their password in backup scripts. I want to set up a cron job to run my
nightly backups, but I don't want to just put the password in the
script. What's everyone else doing?
