[Ftplicity-general] Why do I need my private key to backup with duply?

[Taschik, D. <Dan...@st...>]

Hi Guys,

I really wonder why duply restores my private gpg key when I delete it
from the secret keyring. My understanding is that the program uses
only the public key to encrypt my backup. So for security reasons It
makes sense to remove the private key to the server and put it on a
stick in a save. But everytime when I remove the secret key from the
gpg secring it gets restored as soon as I start duply PROFILENAME
backup.

Do you know how I can disable the restore of the key? why is he stored
anywhere else on my computer?
