  Suppose I have daily backups for the last year. (Not that it should
matter, but assume "--full-if-older-than 3W" was used).

A user tells me, "I had a file called data/stuff.txt which existed for
about 10 days.  I don't remember which 10 days, but could you find it
and restore it?"

Obviously I can do "duplicity  collection-status" to see that backups
were done every day.  However, is there a way to see which of those
days the file he mentions existed?


That's really not possible unless it was contained in a full backup.
'--list-current-files' in conjunction with '-t datetime' will give you the
current list by datetime, but if the file was created and deleted during
the
three week window between backups, then it's gone.


Didn't mterry add a patch that lists files even for older chains?

Yes, that was the -t option, but the incremental files for the previous
full backup are automatically removed as soon as a new full is made.

If incrementals depend on older full backups I reason full backups stay in the 
repository? Even if I create a new chain (new full)? Right?
