Requesting support or just a question¶

This is a documentation request

Platform¶

Linux x64

Output¶

Additional information¶

In the extensive documentation for using ReaR with Duplicity and S3 as the storage medium, the backup section clearly states that the GnuPG keys are stored on recovery medium.

What isn't clear or addressed anywhere is where Duplicity obtains the AWS keys for recovery.

If the recovery medium doesn't contain the AWS keys (put there by ReaR) then there would have to be a way for duplicity to request them.

Can this please be made clear in the documentation?

You can use the COPY_AS_IS array to add your AWS profiles or whatever to the recovery medium. Try it out and give us feedback how you did it then we will add it (depersonalized) to our documentation.
Thank you for testing it out.
