Re: [Duplicity-talk] Strange problem using duplicity

[Joshua Bacher]

Heyho,

i am not a real experienced duplicity user or developer, but i'd have a
bad feeling on backing up everything that is beyond /dev or /proc. 

If you are backing up ,,/'' consider excluding some directorys from 
being backed up. There is a switch for that.
