New question #289684 on Duplicity: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/289684
# I am not a seasoned Ubuntu admin/ Duplicity user, so please bear with me if I am missing something obvious... 1. Many WebDAV-providers supply usernames as "[email protected]". Although this does not seem to be RFC-compliant, users have to live with that anyway... 2. Many WebDAV backends ignore duplicity's FTP_PASSWORD environment variable. 3. Duplicity works OK when I provide cleartext password from CLI, e.g. <duplicity /localdir webdavs://'[email protected]':[email protected]/remotedir> 4. However, I do not want to use my cleartext password in the command line process so that other users might not spoof it from the process list 5. Trying to use duplicity from a shell script (bash), without using the cleartext password in the command, e.g. <PWVARIABLE='cleartextpassword' export PWVARIABLE duplicity /localdir webdavs://'[email protected]':[email protected]/remotedir> I always run into parsing problems of the juxtaposed "@" symbol which, together with the WebDAV URL, will be parsed into the variable name. This does not seem to be relieved by exchanging "%40" for "@" as duplicity (or bash?) do not seem to parse this in a useful manner. Putting "$PWVARIABLE" into quotes does not work either, since this seems to be parsed as plaintext and not as variable. My aim is to run the script with cron for off-site backups. Is there a workable syntax for this? Any help is greatly appreciated! # Thanks & kudos for this great tool! -- You received this question notification because your team duplicity-team is an answer contact for Duplicity. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
