I'm coming to this thread late, so feel free to ignore me. I use a very simple script to perform nightly off-site backups of financial data. basically it tar/gzips a bunch of gnucash data, then gpg encrypts it using a passphrase-less gpg key with myself as the recipient (so I can later unencrypt it) and finally it uses ftp-upload to shove it up the pipe to an offsite server I have access to. works great for me. I name the file with the weekday in the filename 'gncdata_monday.tgz.gpg', 'gncdata_tuesday.tgz.gpg' etc. The files automagically replace themselves giving me seven days of backups always available. WOrks pretty well and ftp-upload allows you to very simply script an upload session and operate it unattended. hth A
