[Duplicity-talk] Comparisons of other backup systems to duplicity and rdiff-backup

[scott]

While the only backup tool I've used to date is Amanda, I'm prepared to 
abandon it for a better tool with features more to my liking - open-source, 
of course. 

This page: 

http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/comparison.html 

By the author of Box Backup, compares that utility with duplicity, 
rdiff-backup, and a few others. 

I do like the idea of the encrypted backups that duplicity and Box Backup 
perform.  OTOH, I could create a cron job that uses an encryption tool like 
openssl to generate encrypted versions of the sensitive files that I want to 
backup.  So many choices ... 

Does anyone using duplicity or rdiff-backup have some counter-arguments to 
offer in favor of those utilities? 

Thanks.
