Duplicity - save backup to multiple destinations

Is it possible to configure duplicity to save the generated backup to multiple destinations without doing the whole backup process twice?



Something like duplicty --full --volsize 1024 -v5 sftp://user@host.com/folder /save/also/to/server/folder



If I do a full backup every two weeks, I want to save that full backup to a folder on my server where I can download it and on a sftp backup space (which is not reachable from the outside).



If I downloaded the backup, I would delete it on the server (because I have not that much space on my server).
Is there an easy way of doing this with duplicity directly, or did I need to create a custom shell script which does all this stuff?

  • execute duplicity several time with different destination ?

    yes, but this would lead to multiple backup processes (multiple times packaging of backup files, encrypting, etc.) which is inefficient (huge server load).

  • how about the multi backend in mirror mode as described in the man page<br/> &nbsp; duplicity.nongnu.org/duplicity.1.html#sect18 <br> ? ..ede/duply.net

According to the github of duplicity, this feature is still in the to do list.

I think the easier way is to make a small shell script that will move the file at the end the process.



#!/bin/bash
duplicty --full --volsize 1024 -v5 /local save/folder &&
rsync /local save/folder user@host.com/folder ||
printf "an error occurs during the transfern"


It's a code sample it needs to be tested



The idea is if duplicity return 0 (no error) on the local backup then it runs rsync to send the file to the remote host.com and if one of the commands fails a small error message is written.

  • OK you're completely right. I'm sorry I've been fool by google approximation algorithm though as duplicati is mainly base on duplicity I think it's still apply.
