Hello!
So first of all Thank You for your help.
I think that there is no 100% solution to avoid telling passwordphrases to
duplicity.
Because you must tell duplicity e.g the password for FTP connection, a intruder
could also
login to your FTP remote Server and delete all backup archives.
Make it over a shell script would be best, but if the attacker gets root
permission on the Server
... it´s to late anyway.
Backing up per hand and not with the help of a cron job isn´t that convinient I
think it should be.
The PASSPHRASE="***" option is not described in the manual, so I couldn´t find
it.
Thanks to all of you for help!
Greetings from Germany
Martin
