I used quite long time rdiff-backup for creating server backups. But I had to move away from it because it requires same program to run on the other end where backups are stored. And there was no chance that I can get it into 4Mib memory of my Asus router with OpenWrt which will now act as bacup server.

So I googled a bit and after reading several articles I decided to try duplicity. This decision was heavily inspired by article on Debian Administration website.

The setup with encryption and signing was very quickly and even restoring seems to work :-).

I pay almost all expenses using credit card as I find it comfortable. I don't need much cash and it's quite widely accepted.

However when you have full basket of goods and you hear announcement that due to technical reasons you can not pay using credit card, you have a problem.

This happened to my girlfriend yesterday. No problem, I will go there with money and everything will be fine. But Murphys law was working as usual, so as soon as I arrived credit cards were again accepted :-).
