I'm new to backups, and I'm trying to strike a balance between simplicity and adequate protection. I've read the rdiff-backup webpage, documentation, and wiki, and I've been working through the "Backup and Recovery" O'reilly book.

I'm not quite sure what's the best way to do #6.When I bring the offsite drive back in to my house, I erase all files on it that exist in my live server using a script I wrote, recover any lost files if they still remain on the disk, re-key its luks container, and make a full, complete backup onto it.
why not hook up with a friend and auto magically rdiff-backup across the internet on a daily basis ? at one place I rdiff-backup to another machine ( server A to server B via 1G LAN), then I rsync across the internet to another machine so rsync server B to server C. You can hold friends backup and they can hold yours :)
You can find the script at http://kclug.org/wiki/index.php/Backup_media_scrub It gives you assurance you will catch an accidental deletion. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
