Hello,
I'm trying to decide between using Duplicity and using my own creation of
scripts + rdiff-backup.
I originally found rdiff-backup, and wrote some scripts to use it with
gpg. Lets just call my script gpg-rdiff-backup. Here is an example:
To Backup:
rdiff-backup school_work school_work.backup
tar -c school_work.backup | gpg -e -o school_work.backup.tar.gpg
find school_work.backup -type f -exec shred -u '{}' \;
rm -rf school_work.backup
To Restore:
gpg -d school_work.backup.tar.gpg | tar -x
rdiff-backup <Restore commands here>
find school_work.backup -type f -exec shred -u '{}' \;
rm -rf school_work.backup
Now the reason I bring up my gpg scripts for rdiff-backup is because I
recently found Duplicity. I've found it to work well, but I noticed it
doesn't seem to be in active development, has less features than
rdiff-backup (which I may or maynot ever use), and states on the front
page that there are known bugs.
I wonder, how reliable is Duplicity compared to rdiff-backup? Can anyone
provide some input?
Some notes about the two that I've made (with regards to the example)
gpg-rdiff-backup vs duplicity:
* gpg-rdiff-backup has a set of commands (in a shell script) vs a
single command
* gpg-rdiff-backup vs duplicity wrt end-filesize is roughly equal
(~48MB for the example)
* gpg-rdiff-backup vs duplicity wrt to total-time (for the example) is
+4 seconds longer for gpg-rdiff-backup.
