Hi,

I suppose that I'm not alone having this requirement - how do you solve it?

I have been searching for month for an optimal way to do backups. The nearest I 
have come (and always returns to) is rdiff-backup which have all feature I want 
- except the possibility to encrypt files saved at the remote host. In some 
case I do not trust the remote end and wants to have my information encrypted 
in some way.

I know that duplicity handles the encryption part in a way I like but as it is 
much data over a relative slow wan link i can not use full backups (more then 
once!) and want the great incrementel backup of rdiff-backup without having to 
store all increments forever (and use all of them in case of a restore).

The encryption requirement must not be solved by rdiff-backup alone !!!

One possibility that I have though about is to combine it with a encrypted 
filesystem at the remote end. In that case I suppose I have to login via SSH 
after remote end reboot to enter the password to mount the encrypted filesystem 
(and that's acceptable)

As I wrote initially, I suppose that I'm not alone having this requirement - 
how do you solve it?
