Re: [Duplicity-talk] Restart from Last Full Backup

[edgar . soldin]

i'd rather move the "obsolete" incrementals out of the way into a subfolder 
(just in case).

if they do not exist remotely anymore, your cache should update itself 
automatically. to make sure everything worked out you should doi a verify run 
at least after the first new incremental.
