Duplicity is the right answer, as I have posted elsewhere, and we owe great thanks to John Kozubik and the rsync.net team for proposing, and sponsoring, the continued development of duplicity:

Prior to that bounty, duplicity had not been updated or worked on for a few years, and thanks to the claimant of that bounty, Ken Loafman, there is not only a new, stable version, but a responsive community working on the project.

I use it every day, and now consider it indispensible.

No Passport For Britons Refusing Mass Surveillance 790

Posted by kdawson on Saturday March 10, 2007 @05:43PM from the and-you-thought-Sweden-was-bad dept.

UpnAtom writes "People who refuse to give up their bank records, tax records & details of any benefits they've claimed, and the records of their car movements for the last year, or refuse to submit to an interrogation on whether they are the same person that this mountain of data belongs to — will be denied passports from March 26th.

Britons were already the most spied upon nation in Western Europe — more so even than Sweden. Data-mining through this unprecedented level of mass-surveillance allows any future British government to leapfrog even countries like China and North Korea."
