Ede,
Vielen dank! My German is _very_ rusty, unfortunately.
I think your script is an excellent helper/tool for the already great
duplicity. I will probably leverage it to help me in my backup plans.
However, the intent of #4, below, was "what needs to be
protected/otherwise-backed-up in order to recover files backed-up by duplicity"?
For example, what happens if the linux server I am backing-up is completely destroyed
(say by a natural disaster)? I no longer have that host, nor any local files to it (PGP
Keys, duplicity software, etc.). What should I export/copy/backup elsewhere so that I
can recover my duplicity backups? Export the PGP keys? The private ones? The public
ones? The passphrase? What else???
Thanks again for your kind reply!
-AJ

questions...
Hello AJ,
regarding comment number 4 .. you can use a wrapper like ftplicity
(simplified user frontend for duplicity ftp backups) to make the process
a little bit more straight forward. Btw. I am finishing a new release of
ftplicity right now and will put it on sourceforge. A list of changes
and the location will be send top this list then.
Regards Ede

eliminate that initial requirement to d/l the signatures from the target server
(and make the process more efficient)?

avoid pitfalls. I think I need to understand what is required on the SOURCE-side to
restore, should I lose the local server running the duplicity utility. For example, what
keys and passphrases need to be backed-up so I could image a minimal linux host in an
emergency and recover the data from the target host?
