Linux Backup Script
Secret management may be challenging depending on your distribution. You must still init your backup location like so:
duplicacy init test_linux_123 b2://duplicacytestlinux -e
And provide backblaze credentials and a storage password if you want encrypted backups (`-e').
If you're using Gnome (at least on Ubuntu), the Backblaze credentials will be stored in your user keyring ("Passwords and Keys" app). Oddly, an entry will be made in your keyring for the storage password but it will be blank. Manually update the entry in your keyring to add the storage password. There are other ways to manage secrets in Linux--see this forum entry for more information on how credentials are managed:

One way or another, you have to store your secrets somewhere to automate backups.
