Is it possible with rdiff-backup to create backups on a (linux) backup server

Duplicity was created to provide this privacy, but in other respects
rdiff-backup seems a much more polished solution and I wondered if this
problem can be overcome while sticking with rdiff-backup.
For instance, no sort of third-party rdiff-backup-based backup solution is
really satisfactory if the third party administrator can just read any
customer's backed-up private files.
Have you looked at Box Backup? It was designed for this situation.
rdiff-backup can do it if you mount an encrypted filesystem over the
network, but it's not easy and I don't think it's secure.
Otherwise, I think Duplicity (or possibly Amanda with encryption) is your
best bet.
Cheers, Chris.
