Dear friends of duplicity,
quick question I could not find a straight-forward answer to despite a longer search:
Situation:
* Have Server, runs duplicity for backup, uses trickle to keep upload at bay
Complication:
* Router is able to prioritize traffic - better than the static trickle solution - but can only differentiate on src/dst IP and port, but both are not suitable to identify duplicity traffic
Idea for solution:
* Get 2nd internal IP address for dedicated (virtual) interface
* Bind duplicity to dedicated interface
* Throttle traffic on router, discriminate by src IP
.. but that hinges on binding duplicity to a dedicated IP. Any idea how to do that? Search revealed something about namespaces and the 'ip' command, but is there a more obvious solution available?
Best,
Willem
