- Duplicity backs directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes
- and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity
- uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only
- record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup.
- Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they
- will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server.
- The duplicity package also includes the rdiffdir utility. Rdiffdir is an
- extension of librsync's rdiff to directories---it can be used to produce
- signatures and deltas of directories as well as regular files. These
- signatures and deltas are in GNU tar format.
