[Duplicity-talk] FTP upload failed

[Yves Goergen]

Hello,

Today I got the error message that the backend FTP upload has failed for 
25 times and it was giving up. Do I have to do something now or will it 
upload any missing pieces later? How is an upload failure handled by 
duplicity?

The file names look like it's been an incremental backup run. I could 
now run a full backup if it's necessary, but I don't know whether it is.

Here's a part of the output:

My duplicity version is still old. Did that behaviour change in recent 
versions?
