Re: [Duplicity-talk] How to prevent .cache from filling up root partition?

[edgar . soldin]

recent duply has a conf value for that

# Modifies archive-dir option (since 0.6.0) Defines a folder that holds 
# unencrypted meta data of the backup, enabling new incrementals without the 
# need to decrypt backend metadata first. If empty or deleted somehow, the 
# private key and it's password are needed.
# NOTE: This is confidential data. Put it somewhere safe. It can grow quite 
#       big over time so you might want to put it not in the home dir.
# default '~/.cache/duplicity/duply_<profile>/'
# if set  '\${ARCH_DIR}/<profile>'
#ARCH_DIR=/some/space/safe/.duply-cache
