Anyone can help ?

It's not possible right now. Deja Dup doesn't expose that functionality of duplicity. Sorry. :(

That's strange. The same problem with BakInTime : the backend support backuping to an rsync server, but the front-end doesn't.

Do you have an explanation for this fact, for Déjà Dup or BackInTime ?

Takes time to expose the functionality and test that it works. Plus, I had always suspected that rsync wasn't all that useful with duplicity since it uses librsync internally and you'd just end up uploading tarballs over rsync.

Can you help with this problem?
