First off, this seems like a great utility.
Great work, guys!
A couple of questions to make sure I'm using it
correctly and efficiently, if I may?
1) Do I assume that duplicity will keep all files,
regardless of "age", unless I periodically clean-them-up with the
"remove-older-than" option?
2) WRT backup strategy then, if I choose to create
a new full-backup every couple of weeks, I understand that I then use
"remove-all-but-n-full" to remove old full backup-sets AND any old incrementals
that were based upon them, right?
3) Is there any way to make the initial d/l of the
signatures file(s) more efficient? If I use archive-dir, and keep a copy
of signatures locally, will this eliminate that initial requirement to d/l the
signatures from the target server (and make the process more
efficient)?
4) A "Newbie Guide to Backup and Restore with
Duplicity" would be great to 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?
Thanks again for all the hard work. It looks
like it's shaping-up to be a great, great utility!
