+duplicity - Encrypted bandwidth-efficient backup using rsync algorithm
+
+Duplicity backs up directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes and
+uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity uses
+librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the
+parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity
+uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from
+spying and/or modification by the server.
+
+This requires librsync
