#!/usr/bin/python3

# This script performs a backup of all user data:
# 1) System services are stopped while a copy of user data is made.
# 2) An incremental backup is made using duplicity into the
#    directory STORAGE_ROOT/backup/duplicity.
# 3) The stopped services are restarted.
# 4) The backup files are encrypted with a long password (stored in
#    backup/secret_key.txt) to STORAGE_ROOT/backup/encrypted.
# 5) STORAGE_ROOT/backup/after-backup is executd if it exists.
