    Status: Open => Answered

edso proposed the following answer:
do you use duply? in that case everything you need should be in the
profile folder. save that to somewhere safe.

if not. save your private/public key used and/or write down your
encryption passphrase.

to be safe you could try the following on another machine first:

1. install the exact same version of duplicity (actually since 0.6 each version should be able to restore each other version, but just to be sure)
2. copy your keys or duply profile over 
3. do a duplicity verify run on the hdd backup folder (shared via network or simply temporarily removed from the other box)

if verify runs smoothly everything is fine
