[Duplicity-talk] Encrypting backups?

[Steve Mallett]

I stumbled across duplicity this morning looking for serious backup 
software.  It looks like this is a serious undertaking and am glad to 
see it.  I do have one question though:  Isn't altering a file for 
backup, in this case encrypting, a bad idea??  If you lose everything 
doesnt' depending on an altered file lessen your chances for recovery?

I'd be very interested top hear if this is -not- an issue & why.
