[Duplicity-talk] duplicity with scp backend succeeds, but creates no backup

[atharva larisa]

Hi,

I am a new user of duplicity. Even after searching for such an issue, I don't find anything on the internet. So posting my problem here.

Basic info :-

Operating system : Linux, Fedora 30

Duplicity version : 0.7.19

Steps :

1. Create test backup directory with structure as

===================================

[backup@localhost testRemoteDuplicity2]$ find

.

./s

./s/file1

===================================

2. Test ssh without password :

ssh 192.168.1.98

3. Run duplicity with full verbosity :

duplicity -v9  --hidden-encrypt-key address@hidden s scp://192.168.1.98:/tmp/tRD3

Output attached as duplicity.out.gz

4. Test no backup created :

====================================

[backup@localhost testRemoteDuplicity2]$ ssh 192.168.1.98

Last login: Thu Oct 10 22:08:34 2019 from 192.168.1.2

[backup@localhost ~]$ ls -a /tmp/tRD3

.  ..

=====================================

5. Though ~/.cache/duplicity creates lots of files. But that is not the purpose, so I can't count them.

Is this a known scenario ? I have tried a lot, but cannot create any backup using either scp, sftp, pexpect+sftp backend. I get the same error - though the details in the full verbosity output of duplicity might be different.

thanks a lot
