Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve used rdiff-backup in the past for backing up my home directories to a friend&#39;s server over ADSL.  This works pretty well because rdiff-backup only ever sends the changes.  I can delete  all but the last 30 (or whatever) days of backups and it still always only sends increments.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve recently started trying to use duplicity as I wanted my backups to be encrypted so that users on the remote server can&#39;t see my data.  I thought duplicity &quot;builds on rdiff-backup and adds encryption&quot; but I don&#39;t think it works the same.  As far as I can see, if I want to delete backups older than say 30 days in duplicity I need to have a full backup newer than 30 days.  This means at least once every 30 days I need to transmit all the data to the remote end.  This takes me over 24 hours on ADSL.  Does anyone know if I&#39;ve got this wrong?  Any other suggestions for backups that are *always* bandwidth efficient after the first full and are encrypted?</div>
