Thank you Ken!

Unfortunately I didn't get any further ...Can you help me one more time ?

I tried:

duplicity --ssh-askpass  --encrypt-key "mykey" --sign-key "mykey" 
--file-to-restore root/backuptester 
scp://address@hidden//root/backups/duplicity /home/backuptest/test

but it fails with the error message

 
Command line error: option --ssh-askpass not recognized
See the duplicity manual page for instructions

I didn't fiund anything similar in the man-page.

Then I tried to find out the version of duplicity

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  duplicity      0.4.2-10.1     encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup
