Simplicity is abandoned (sorry!) in favour of a much simpler program sb.
sb does effectively the same thing (make it easy to do duplicity backups),
but is much smaller and more focused. It also front-ends rdiff-backup in case
you need that instead of duplicity.
There's a sample conf file below. You run it by saying, for example:
sb wd_d mail
(Look for wd_d and mail in the conf and you will understand).
The only additional point to note is that if you're using different USB disks, put in a ".volname" file in the root directory of each, which contains a simple name for the specific disk (e.g., "seagate500") etc., otherwise duplicity's signature caching gets confused.
Sample ~/.config/sb.conf file:
# must be valid shell syntax; will be sourced from 'sb'
# comments are not allowed within a "FILES" section (till blank line)
# (note syntax well, including the ending single quotes you may miss if you
# don't look carefully!)
