Package: duplicity
System name: duplicity
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Duplicity is a new backup program currently in alpha status. It incrementally 
backs up files and directory by encrypting tar-format volumes with GnuPG and 
uploading them to a remote (or local) file server. In theory many remote 
backends are possible; right now only the local or ssh/scp backend is written. 
Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient 
and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. 
Currently duplicity supports deleted files, full unix permissions, directories, 
symbolic links, fifos, etc., but not hard links.

Duplicity also includes the rdiffdir program.  It is an extension of the rdiff 
utility (included in librsync) to directories.

It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at 
http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/duplicity/duplicity-0.2.0.tar.gz

Other Software Required:
python v2.2 or later, librsync (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/librsync)

Other Comments:
This is a project similar to (and also a bit like the opposite of) 
rdiff-backup.  I am the author of both programs.  Savannah currently hosts 
rdiff-backup, but I only use the mailing list feature.  My plan is separate 
more clearly the two projects, and try out CVS hosting for duplicity (the 
smaller, less popular project).  If that works out well I will move the 
rdiff-backup CVS here also.

So it would be convenient for me, and probably others, if duplicity had an 
account here, as it is closely related to an existing Savannah project.  Thank 
you for any consideration.
