[Duplicity-talk] Need for more details on which incremental backup is restored

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

When restoring, duplicity only mentions which full backup is last, and
so supposedly being restored.

For instance, it says :

$ duplicity file:///home/olivier/backups ~/tmp/restore/
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: Sat Nov  5 15:04:39 2011
GnuPG passphrase: xxxxxxxx

even though it has (hopefully) restored the state of this full's latest
increments.

In my case, there's :

$ duplicity collection-status file:///home/olivier/backups 
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: Sat Nov  5 15:04:39 2011
Collection Status
-----------------
Connecting with backend: LocalBackend
Archive dir: /home/olivier/.cache/duplicity/f6a74e4d9c83bb62b2a7ad6b17424384

Found 0 secondary backup chains.

Found primary backup chain with matching signature chain:
-------------------------
Chain start time: Sat Nov  5 15:04:39 2011
Chain end time: Sat Nov  5 15:06:16 2011
Number of contained backup sets: 3
Total number of contained volumes: 4
 Type of backup set:                            Time:      Num volumes:
                Full         Sat Nov  5 15:04:39 2011                 2
         Incremental         Sat Nov  5 15:05:39 2011                 1
         Incremental         Sat Nov  5 15:06:16 2011                 1
-------------------------
No orphaned or incomplete backup sets found.


So I would expect something like :
$ duplicity file:///home/olivier/backups ~/tmp/restore/
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: Sat Nov  5 15:04:39 2011
*Restoring from latest incremental Sat Nov  5 15:06:16 2011*
GnuPG passphrase: xxxxxxxx

What do you think ?

Best regards,
