The suggested way of backing up using duplicity is to target backup to
the local server using duplicity, then to use rsync to synchronize that
backup with the remote site.  This has two advantages, one in that the
local backup is available for rapid recovery if the need arises, and the
remote backup is available after a site disaster.
