Is it possible without modify cloudfiles backend? Variable UPLOAD_TO_CONTAINER is just container name or I must add something like authentication url? P.S.: I modified the script adding an enviorment variable CLOUDFILES_AUTHURL pointing to my openstack auth url, UPLOAD_TO_CONTAINER="my_container_name" and PASSPHRASE="" with --no-encryption option in the duplicity command.

Is there a way to have it just copy the files, and not create an archive? ahh. i see now that duplicity isn’t really designed to put web-usable files onto rackspace, but rather just to use rackspace as an offsite place for your backup.

I don't see anywhere to manage/set a gpg key, so i'm using --no-encryption. When i do this, i get a "backup statistics" output that appears to say that it copied files, but when i view the container using the rackspace management portal, i don't see them. Any suggestions? i’m trying this with duplicity version 0.6.08b. I don’t see anywhere to manage/set a gpg key, so i’m using –no-encryption.

Someone mentioned opening port 443 for duplicity to talk to rackspace via https. If you don't, you get a 'connection refused' message. The other thing is that DNS (port 53) also has to be opened. This problem will show up before the 443 problem, and the error message will be "no address associated with hostname" My firewall bit the dust yesterday after many years, and not having backups, I had to reconfigure stuff.

Chmouel. Hi Sam,

It’s not enabled by default you probably want to do a export RACKSPACE_SERVICENET=True before you launch the ftp server to automatically use servicenet.

Any plans of making it available by default? It can be good for customers and good for cloudfiles revenue as this will push the cloudfiles usage to a new level.
