+
+rdup separates the logic of backing up from the actual copying. It
+supports filters to compress and encrypt individual files (typically
+using gpg or mcrypt) as well as path names and can do both full as
+well as incremental backups.
+
+** Pros **
+
+* simple and small command line programs
+
+* more sophisticated than tar+gpg and probably addresses many of the
+ corner cases that would otherwise have to be handled by increasingly
+ complicated scripts
+
+** Cons **
+
+* still requires a script of some sort to drive it
+* probably requires a gui to make it simple to use
