Re: [Duplicity-talk] backup source crash

[Chris Poole]

I'm confused; are you imagining a scenario where you have lost the gpg
private key that you've used for the duplicity backup?

(And by "lost" I mean that it's in the encrypted backup but that's it.)

If this is the case, you've lost your backup. Except for bruteforce
techniques, you won't be getting your data back.
