Question #689862 on Duplicity changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/689862
edso posted a new comment: a little off topic here, as your question is generally "What is the advantage of asymmetric encrytion over symmetric using gnupg?" so everything answering that, answers it with respect to duplicity as well ;). this assumes that a third party has access to the encrypted data only of course. looks like you are mixing that with what happens if a third party gains access to your system where the encryption/backup happens. i'd answer as follows: in short, that is the worst case. no backup software can help anymore at that point. the attacker can modify the data as such. additionally due to access to the backup repo older backups may be modified by the attacker. from that moment on the case is a lost one. the only preventive measure here is to backup to a location that does not allow the modification of backup data once it's uploaded completely. this way you can safely go back to a point in time where your data was uncorrupted. ..ede/duply.net -- 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
