Bug Description
I use the deja-dup frontend for backing up my homedir. When starting the first backup over ssh, the following error occurs while the system is in no way out of ram/swap (>2G free).
(This is _NOT_ a duplicate of bug 780270! The person who filed the latter one was able to do backups, I am not even able to finish a backup)

I am also seeing this error and it is in fact consuming all available physical memory + my 2GB pagefile before it fails. Typically this happens if I have a virtual machine running as well as other apps when the backup is kicked off (i.e., a good amount of memory already in use).
Here are details about my install:
Gentoo Linux - kernel 3.1.2
Python 2.7.2
GnuPG 2.0.18
duplicity 0.6.16
I really like duplicity and all that it does, but this issue has prevented me from completely automating my backups and could mean an alternative solution is necessary.
