Re: [Duplicity-talk] cannot restore encrypted backup

[mailinglist]

Gotcha!

I skimmed through the backup script and there was it: --gpg-options

Supplying this option to the restore command solved my issue. Thank you 
very much for the help! I would have searched for this for days. :)

Best regards,
Mate
