First I am using bzr as a version control tool for my private data,
not for backup.  Then I need to back that encrypted data up onto my
two backup disks on another host.  At the moment I'm using
rdiff-backup, which may not be the best choice in this case.

Eventually I would like to use more encryption, but am feeling my way.

Thanks, Martin.
