Hi:

I have been at this for four or five hours over two or three days.  I
have googled and manual studied.  My goal should be simple but it is not
turning out that way.

I backed up regularly to a second disk sdb on a back up partition
labeled LinuxBUb.  The backup file is labeled bill-19BU.  I backed up
regularly using duplicity up to the end of December 31, 2012.  I then
backed up again with duplicity on March 11, 2014.  In other words all of
my work for 2013 is in that last back up.  

While installing Fedora 20, I managed to destroy my Fedora 19
installation.  Luckily, I thought, I had that last backup.

Everything that I have tried fails to restore the March 11 backup
although I can clearly see March 11 Duplicity backup files saved with
the December 31,2012 back ups. I have restored my earlier December
31,2012 with no problems. There are several project files in the 2013
backups that I need.  

The backup files I want to retrieve are in:
/run/media/wcase/LinuxBUb/bill19BU

The particular files I want are :
/home/bill/.local/share/gnote
especially those saved after Mar 11, 2013

I want to restore them to 1 of 2 files, it doesn't matter which :

1) /home/bill/.local/share/gnote    or
2) /run/media/wcase/LinuxBUb/bill-20Restored

]# duplicity --restore  -> "Command line error: Expected 2 args, got 1"
I don't understand what argument I am missing.

I suppose I am asking either how to write the duplicity command because
I have missed something simple.  OR, some other suggestions on how to
extract those files I need by some other means.
