To run duplicity on several folders using the ssh backend I created this bash script:

#! /bin/bash
$USER=”user”
$HOST=”host”
$KEY=”.ssh/key_to_server”
cd ~
ssh-add $KEY
read -s -p “GnuPG password:” PASSPHRASE

echo -e “\n####DEV####”
PASSPHRASE=$PASSPHRASE duplicity -v6 dev/ scp://${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dev
duplicity remove-all-but-n-full 3 scp://${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dev
echo "########DOCUMENTS#######"
PASSPHRASE=$PASSPHRASE duplicity -v6 /media/Hoppla/Users/Gaute/Documents/ scp://${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dokument
duplicity remove-all-but-n-full 3 scp://${USER}@${HOST}/backup/dokument

Just repeat the last three lines for each dir you want to backup. For some reason duplicity doesn’t follow symlinks so you have to add those manually.
