Re: [Duplicity-talk] Re: bug or not: --archive-dir and full backup

[Thomas Seliger]

Interesting what different people want from the --archive-dir option ;). So how 
is --archive-dir supposed to work?

So maybe this goes also into a feature request direction. I like local AND 
remote signatures. Duplicity uses the local sigs for faster operation, but also 
stores encrypted signatures on the remote end (and tries to use remote sigs 
automagically when it does not find local sigs). So in case of a disaster (lost 
local signatures), I can use the remote signatures.

Although I understand that keeping local AND remote signatures creates 
transportation overhead, which you might want to avoid. Of course there is 
always the option to add another switch like --local-sigs-only ;).

Best regards,
Tom
