Bug#686669: ITP: duprepare -- Prepare system backup volume sources to be processed by duplicity
I didn't know about backupninja before. Basically it is the same idea, however, duprepare does both backup and restore.
With backupninja backups are stored on backup volumes, with no easy way to restore them.
With duprepare there are 3 scripts: duprepare-backup, duprepare-restore and duprepare-cleanup. The restore script reverses everything (copying all files back and running custom scripts with different modes) so that your system is back exactly the same way.
There is a famous saying "your backup is totally useless if you haven't tried restoring it at least once", or something similar.
Anyway, thanks for telling me about backupninja.
