This bash script was designed to automate and simplify the remote backup process of duplicity on Amazon S3 primarily. Other backup destinations are possible (FTP, SFTP, SCP, rsync, file…), i.e. any of duplicity’s supported outputs.
After your script is configured, you can easily backup, restore, verify and clean (either via cron or manually) your data without having to remember lots of different command options and passphrases.
Most importantly, you can easily backup the script and your gpg key in a convenient passphrase-encrypted file. This comes in in handy if/when your machine ever does go belly up.
Optionally, you can set up an email address where the log file will be sent, which is useful when the script is used via cron.
This version is a rewriting of the code originally written by Damon Timm, including many patches that have been brought to the original scripts by various forks on Github.
