From the duplicity manual:

Isn't ftplicity obsolete when using this option?

 

I don't know, I haven't tried this...

 

You can have it way easier (without ftplicity):

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export PASSPHRASE=your_password
FTP_PASSWORD=your_password  duplicity --force --remove-older-than now ftp://username@your_IP/
FTP_PASSWORD=your_password  duplicity --full  /home/ ftp://username@your_IP/
unset PASSPHRASE
unset FTP_PASSWORD
exit 0

The first 'duplicity' line deletes old backups (you can change that as you like). Sadly with the current Etch version of duplicity 'remove-all-but-n-full' does not work and in 'sid' it seems broken.

The second 'duplicity' line does the actual backup and encrypts it with the given password above.
