Re: [Duplicity-talk] ftp and short filenames prob

Yup.  Finally got that working too.  (And you're right, I was probably making some inaccurate assumptions, but I was trying all sorts of command-lines.)

 

Could be partly the 0.4.9 "upgrade" that helped as well.

 

Thanks for the assist!

The given example is missing a local verification target.

You are running:

   $ duplicity ... ftp://address@hidden/DISK 2/duplicity

You should be running:

   $ duplicity ... ftp://address@hidden/DISK 2/duplicity /Working/Copy

Unlike some other backup software, duplicity does not automatically
qualify the working copy from information in the backup volume for
restoration and verification.

It does, however, notice and complain if the source changes for an
incremental backup.
