[Duplicity-talk] Keep running out of space on restore

[Monte Milanuk]

Okay... I'm pretty much out of ideas here.

I had been using Deja Dup, a gui front end for duplicity.  I backed up 
my user home directory off my PC running Ubuntu 12.10 to a remote Samba 
share mounted on the local file system.  I had intentions (delusions, at 
this point) of restoring these files via duplicity to a temp directory 
on another newer machine and extracting the files I needed when/as needed.

The machine I'm on *now* is a ThinkPad T530, with Mint 14 running in a 
20GB root partition, another 200GB mounted under /srv/data, and the 
Samba share from my ReadyNAS Duo v2 mounted under /srv/data/backup/hp-pc.

I've gone through various iterations of this, first running out of space 
because I was trying to restore directly to a temp dir inside the user's 
home directory.  Then because the temp file filled up the root 
partition.  Now I'm running the following command:

machin-sin data # duplicity -vi --tempdir /srv/data/backup/tmp/ 
file:///srv/data/backup/hp-pc/linux/ /srv/data/restore

...which should, if I'm reading the examples right, specify a tempdir of 
'/srv/backup/tmp' to prevent filling up /, and sources the backup stored 
on the NAS and mounted under /srv/data/backup/hp-pc/linux, and finally 
extracts the files to /srv/data/restore, which is on the 200GB data 
partition.

And it *still* runs out of space, after filling up the root partition...

...and here's the error that duplicity gives:

Any ideas?
