Re: [Duplicity-talk] Concurrently running duplicities?

[Charles Knowlton]

I wouldn't think it would be a problem.  But with Duplicity it can do  
both for you at the same time.  The first time you run Duplicity it  
will create a full backup then after then it will create incremental  
backups.  If you are wanting to have those separate you could have  
one folder for full backups and another for incremental backups.  The  
incremental backup folder will have at least one full backup in  
there.  If you plan to run 2 different sessions of Duplicity I would  
make sure that they are ran at different times to avoid any issues.   
There are probably better ways about doing this than what I just  
described.
