you can't .. all you can do is trying ;) meaning:

--num-retries only tries to do again whatever it was doing while a non 
fatal error occured (default is 5 i think). If the error is still there 
after e.g. 1000 tries it still fails. Also be careful not to choose a 
very high value that leads to an old duplicity instance still running 
while cron already starts the next one.
