I'll definitely now take a gander at that. Its probably useful since I'd want to use an untrusted dreamhost account... BTW, I'm on Ubuntu on my main desktop now. Just about 2 years since you convinced me :0) Thanks. I’ll definitely now take a gander at that. Its probably useful since I’d want to use an untrusted dreamhost account…

Like it says, "Encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup using the rsync algorithm". If you want to backup both locally and remotely, you can use a file:// URL for the duplicity destination, then rsync (or scp or whatever - new backups just produce new files that need to be copied) that wherever you like.
