duplicity on dns323 - shell scripts
I originally started out with the scripts from this forum post but made a few changes to suit my needs and also work on the dns323. The only thing that you would need to change is the ‘SOURCE’, ‘DEST’ and the ‘PASSPHRASE’
Obviously, you’d need to set up automatic login with ssh to use the scripts below…
dns323 + llink is ALMOST perfect
dns323 + duplicity == encrypted offsite backup BLISS!
What is it?
Duplicity backs up directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. 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.
