good to know! maybe some warm heart comes around and does just that. the reason
that no compression isn't fixed is simply - no one cares enough for this
option, obviously.
speaking of "you guys should". how about you dig in and supply a patch? python
is not brain surgery ;)
the lesson for you should be. don't trust, verify! while duplicity is quite
robust, it still has nooks and corners. just now, 0.6.23 fixed a bug that
resulted in data loss when a backup was resumed.
all this can be easily circumvented by periodically verifying your backups.
