Re: [Duplicity-talk] recovering

[Ingrid Lohmann]

Hello,

thanks for your answers. 
I've found my key again.

I simply installed duplicity. Now I want to recover data with a command similar 
to the following:

duplicity -t 6D  --file-to-restore "path/to/the/desired/backupfile"  
scp://address@hidden//path/to/duplicitydirectory /name/of/recovered file

It ends up with error message:

Can you help me ? Do I need to install something else ?
 
Thanks beforehand. You were quite helpful but our situation is very bad. A 
quick answer would  be very nice.

Thank you very much
