[Duplicity-talk] Re: BZIP2 support on Mac OSX does not seem to work

[Madhusudan Singh]

The .tar.gpg should read .difftar.gpg. The question stands.

Hello,

I am trying to use duplicity (latest version and dependencies from MacPorts) to create .tar.bz2.gpg (compressed and encrypted) backups on a remote Linux server.

I am using --gpg-options='--compress-algo=bzip2 --bzip2-compress-level=9' as the command line option as suggested in various discussions accessible via Google.

However, the remote backups created are .tar.gpg (and hence are not compressed).

$ gpg --help

So, gpg installation here does support BZIP2.

What am I missing ?
