I don't think duplicity is meant for tape - indeed my rdiff-backup main
usage now is to firewire drives.
Then I use it for SSH sessions.
Tape is dead for me. if people want to use tape then there is heaps of
options.
I don't think this new file format should be the greatest and solve all
possible problems, just focus on solving the problems inherent to duplicity
