Re: [Duplicity-talk] backup recovery failed

you are missing crucial files for duplicity to work with the volumes. so 
regarding using duplicity you are out of luck.
did you copy your backup repository and missed some files in the process? 
did the one backup i see finish successfully at all?

regarding on the importance of your missing data you could try
