[SOLVED] -ish Duplicity backend network storage

Miati · 01-03-2015, 01:08 PM

I'm trying to use duplicity to backup photos for my family.

I need about 5gb as it's tapped out over 2g recently (so dropbox/spideroak out of picture)
so I'm trying to use mega's

Here's my command:

Code:

duplicity files mega://user@host.com[:WEzgXNUwCZ]@mega.co.nz/test

(not real pass)

It gives me a

Code:

BackendException: Error while authenticating client: -9.

error.. I checked & rechecked the address & pass which are both 100% correct and don't (shouldn't) be containing any odd characters..

Does anyone use duplicity successfully? It seems like all the backends don't work anymore.

Instead of doing it directly, I ended up using duplicity to encrypt and store in a directory.

Then I used grive to upload everything there into my newly created google drive account.

Then wrapped it into a script & it works!

Code:

#!/bin/bash

(

export PASSPHRASE='myverygoodandrandompassword'
duplicity /dir/to/pictures/ --exclude='**extra/**' --exclude='**.thumbnails/**' file:////dir/to/encryptedbackup

unset PASSPHRASE

cd /dir/to/encryptedbackup
grive

)
