Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server.

I have been using this since June 1st now and it has been working great!  I had to compile and install several things to get it to work, but in the end, it works perfectly when using ffp0.5.
