Re: [Duplicity-talk] Duply with scp (and hetzner-servers)

[edgar . soldin]

There were significant changes in between. Update to recent version of at least 
duplicity (0.6.11) and you are good to go.

Recent duply (1.5.4.x) has a readme which lays out the steps to compile 
duplicity from tarball, in case your distro does not have a package available.

good luck, ede/duply.net
