[Duplicity-talk] Why should i sign my backup

[Martin Basting]

Hello,

I am exploring duplicity for a few days now, but is till have one question.
Why should i use the --sign-key command?
The only thing that i can imagine is that you can check the integrity of the backup.
But does it has any other advantages? Because you have to place a password in you script i would say that it even is unsecure.

Regards,

Martin
