Name        : duplicity
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 0.6.18
Release     : 1.el6
URL         : http://www.nongnu.org/duplicity/
Summary     : Encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup using rsync algorithm
Description :
Duplicity incrementally backs up files and directory by encrypting
tar-format volumes with GnuPG and uploading them to a remote (or
local) file server. In theory many protocols for connecting to a
file server could be supported; so far ssh/scp, local file access,
rsync, ftp, HSI, WebDAV and Amazon S3 have been written.

Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space
efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since
the last backup. Currently duplicity supports deleted files, full
unix permissions, directories, symbolic links, fifos, device files,
but not hard links.

Update Information:

New in v0.6.18 (2012/02/29)
===========================


Enhancements:

- fix extraneous '.py' in botobackend.py include
- tests: add delay between backups to avoid assertion error
- tests: use backup source that is more likely to be larger than 1M compressed
- tests: make other-filesystem check more robust against certain directories being mounts or not
- resuming an incremental results in a 'Restarting backup, but current encryption settings do not match original settings' error because curtime is incorrectly set away from previous incremental value
- added option to not compress the backup, when no encryption is selected
- always delay a little bit when a backend gives us errors
- Don't cache TarInfo files. Tests still pass, so I don't believe we need the members cache (and in the old tarfile.py, we didn't cache either).
- Adding --file-prefix option so different sets of backups can be stored in the same bucket.  See blueprint at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/duplicity/+spec/file-prefix-option
- two changes that help the test suite pass
- raise log level on backend import failure so it will be visible under default conditions
- file /etc/motd may not exist in test environment.  Use __file__ instead to point to a known plaintext source file.
- some code/import changes to make the ssh and boto backends compatible with Python 2.4.
- some changes to make roottest.py compatible with the new dir structure.


Bugs closed in this release:

- Python 2.5 / boto error
- possible memory leak
- SSH-Backend: Creating dirs separately causes a permissons-problems
- multipart upload fails on python 2.7.2
- UnsupportedBackendScheme: scheme not supported in url: scp://u123@u123.example.com/foo/
- ftpsbackend should respect num_retries for ftp commands
- duplicity crashes when PYTHONOPTIMIZE is set
