Description
Duplicity
Duplicity is a cool tool that helps you back up your files. It creates encrypted tar-format volumes and sends them to a remote or local file server. What’s great about Duplicity is that it uses librsync, which means the backups are really space-efficient. It only saves the parts of files that have changed since the last backup, so you don’t waste any storage!
Security Features of Duplicity
One of the best features of Duplicity is its security. It uses GnuPG to encrypt and sign your backups. This means your data stays safe from prying eyes and any modifications from the server.
rdiffdir Utility for Enhanced Backup
The Duplicity package comes with another handy tool called rdiffdir. This tool works like an extension of librsync but focuses on directories! It can create signatures and deltas for both directories and regular files, all in GNU tar format.
File Server Connections
You might wonder how it connects to file servers. Well, Duplicity supports various protocols! So far, it can connect using ssh/scp, local file access, rsync, ftp, HSI, WebDAV, and even Amazon S3.
Supported Features
Right now, Duplicity supports full Unix permissions along with deleted files, directories, symbolic links, device files, and fifos. However, it doesn't support hard links yet.
How to Install Duplicity on Your Mac
If you want to install Duplicity on your Mac, it's pretty simple! Just open a Terminal window and go to the folder where Duplicity is located. Then run this command (you'll need admin privileges):
sudo python setup.py install
