Duplicity
- 2. What? A tool to make backups
- 3. Uses librsync, GPG encryption, rdiff
- 5. Features Full and incremental backups
- 6. Backed up data is in GPG-encrypted chunks
- 7. Compressed data, good for bandwidth
- 8. Supports multiple protocols for destination
- 9. Easy to restore, from any point in time
- 10. Various neat features, expansive CLI switches
- 11. Nice summary output of backup job
- 12. Why not just use... Rsync?
- 13. Rsnapshot?
- 14. Rdiff-backup? Duplicity is this + encryption,
- 15. multi-protocol,
- 16. ease of use (especially to restore)
- 17. Protocols Send your data to a destination via any of these: SSH/SCP
- 18. FTP (it hurt me to type that)
- 19. rsync
- 20. file:// (local, so thus NFS / other GFS too..)
- 21. WebDAV(s)
- 23. Some I'd never heard of! (Tahoe-LAFS, HSI)
- 24. And the Cloud, man... Rackspace CloudFiles Amazon S3 Others?
- 25. ENOUGH SLIDES!
- 26. Other info Don't use the version in Debian Lenny, it's rather old (0.4): 1) The encrypted chunks are hardcoded to 5MB or so. 2) No support for Rackspace Cloud Files. 3) Missing some neat features Using the version from lenny-backports is fine (0.6): 1) Encrypted chunks are 25MB. --volsize can change this 2) Support for Rackspace Cloud Files (cf+http://), install python-cloudfiles from github 3) Lots of new features, such as --full-if-older-than, --remove-older-than 4) Stores local 'archive dir' cached copy, allows for saving state if backup aborted, among other things
