Thanks Neil, Richard & Alexander for your replies. I actually emailed  
Rsync.net at the same time I posted to the list and this is what they  
came back with, too. I hadn't found this page <http://rsync.net/ 
products/encrypted.html> on their website until they pointed it out.

I can't say I've yet examined Duplicity closely enough to say I'm  
101% happy with it, but enough that I've signed the customer up for  
an account & will have a go at setting it up over the weekend.

Thanks,

Stroller.
