Thanks for that Martin, looks very interesting! At $work we were
looking for reliable, fast, cheap and secure remote offsite back-up
and I was going to recommend a combo of rsync.net with Duplicity. This
is from Debian Lenny systems.

I found that Duplicity takes some getting used to and the requirement
for encrypted backups makes recovering data non-trivial - oh well.

When I have more time I will look into your solution and give some feedback.

Side note: I get digest emails but did not see Martins original post,
only Damian's reply. Weird!
