This is exactly the reason why I am specifying the archive dir; I can't find
the message now, but it was the method that was suggested to me when I
started using Duplicity.
Here's a boring little story about why I'm doing things the way I am.
I have two computers in my home office, a laptop that gets dragged over hell's
acres, and a colocated server on a high speed link that hosts my mail, web
and other services. I want to back up everything, and have the home
fileserver and the colocated server carry a full set of backups for the
entire schmozzle.
Each computer backs up locally, so that I can restore quickly if need be. The
home desktop machine rsyncs to the home fileserver. The laptop rsyncs to
either the home fileserver or the colocated machine (depending on where I
am). The home fileserver and colocated server exchange not only their own
backups, but the entire system of backups. Using this method, I have a two
full copies of the incremental backups of all my important data in two
geographically distant locations.
All of the backups are encrypted with a passwordless "backup" key, my personal
key, and then, depending on what it is, either a "engineering" key or a "web
services" key. This way, people who need to restore data can get at it, to
the level of their involvement.
Why duplicity? Currently, I trust the locations of the backups. That may not
always be the case, so I am future proofing my backup strategy a little.
Duplicity is simply awesome. It's modular and thus fairly future-proof on
its own. I haven't found anything quite like it.
I'd like to get rid of the passwordless backup key at some point in the future
as well; I am not sure why I would need such a thing, since I only need the
public key to encrypt, and I am using the --archive-dir parameter to keep
local unencrypted archive data.
