Re: [Duplicity-talk] Question about Using the Encrypt and Sign Keys

[Charles Knowlton]

That will work with what I am trying to do.  The only downside to it  
is when I
do the full backup it is going to take awhile to upload to my off- 
site backup server
as I am on DSL and only have 512KB up but after that it won't be so bad.

Thank Yall for all your help!!
Regards,
Charles Knowltn
