I'm a huge fan of this backup tool. Used for around 5 years for sure. But I suggest using duply.net (front-end part for easier managing and configuration) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Duply which can be configured just in 2-3 minutes and you're ready for doing backups where you want.

Cons:

  • in repos super old versions with tons of bugs
  • even new versions full of bugs
  • different alternative storages require extra python tools installed (and very frequently does not work)
  • no modern features which offer restik or borg.
  • not so fast as restic or borg
  • hard to say, there is a lot what can I say about the program by using it for really long.

Pros:

  • duply.net (front-end fork) super easy to configure and use, any newbie can configure for himself backups and add it to cron via few clicks and editing really human-friendly config file with examples and short documentation.
  • pretty fine works for years. If you properly configure it once and do not update, it will work for years without issues.

Unintuitive terminal program.

What is Duplicity?

Duplicity is a software suite that provides encrypted, digitally signed, versioned, remote backup of files requiring little of the remote server.

Duplicity devises a scheme where the first archive is a complete backup and subsequent backups are only adding differences from the first backup. Chains consisting of a full backup and a series of incremental backups can be recovered to the point in time that any of the incremental steps were taken at. If any of the incremental backups are missing then the incremental backups following it cannot be reconstructed. It does this using GnuPG, librsync, tar, and rdiff. To transmit data to the backup repository it can use SSH/SCP/SFTP, local file access, rsync, FTP, Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloud Files and others.
