Duply is a shell front end for the duplicity backup tool https://duplicity.us . It simplifies the usage by implementing backup job profiles, batch commands and more.
Secure backup to non-trusted file spaces made easy.

Features

  • keep recurring settings in profiles per backup job
  • check configuration and environment to prevent errors
  • one line batch commands supporting conditions (useful in crontab )
  • e.g. 'backup+verify+purge' translates to 'pre_bkp_post_and_verify_and_purge'
  • pre/post scripting for each command via env vars (for e.g. dumping databases)
  • automated import/export of keys between profile and keyring

User Reviews

  • Been using it for 4 years now without any issues to do daily backups of a server. Easy to use and works great! Thanks!!
  • A great wrapper around duplicity, which I use in my backups at home. It is friendly to use on the command line, and you can always preview the underlying duplicity commands. With duply, I was able to test and verify backups, and integrate them into systemd units and timers with the included examples. I was hesitating with duplicity-- I understood all the options, but had a hard time convincing myself to spend hours testing my custom scripts and remembering how to restore when I needed to.
  • adds layer of simplicity to duplicity backup tool. i use duply on all my systems at home.
  • Have used this for almost 3 years to keep my data protected. Upon switching to some more esoteric platforms/configurations, I've run into little issues and have found the developer to be great at support.
  • It delivers exactly what was promised, simple, effective usage of duplicity. I love it, use it, cron it.
