Duplicity improvements

[orkaa]

Hello,

I've made a few small improvements to the script:

• backup without encryption
• some examples for using other protocols
• reporting collection-status

Are you interested in merging the changes? Also, what do you think about moving the configuration to a separate config file?

Have a nice day :)

Hey there - sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.

As I wrote in the README I am not actively maintaining this script ... I don't use it anymore. I am not sure what the best way to hand over the script for someone else to help maintain but am happy to do that.

Hi!

As I stumbled today upon your great script @thornomad and considering the improvements many coders had begun to bring to the script in order to make it more generic, I forked the last version of @orkaa and "manually" imported some of the most important patches that are found across the various forks of the original script.

By the way I took the decision to rename it duplicity-backup.sh as it's not anymore restricted for use with Amazon S3 storage backend.

My "consolidated" version is available here : http://github.com/zertrin/duplicity-backup

See the CHANGELOG for a summary of what I decided to include.

Some feedback would be welcome, as I don't own an Amazon S3 instance. I don't really know if this rework doesn't break anything.

Merge requests are welcome, I'll try to maintain it as long as possible.

Great! Give me a couple days and I will update the README and my
website to point to your github. Am glad someone has taken it over.
Thanks!
