Re: [Duplicity-talk] Restore, target syntax

[Gregory Skerry]

Hello,

Thanks for the clarification. Is it possible to confirm the resulting behavior if the target directory is not 'valid'?

e.g. if the target is set using environment variables, and one is non-existent (or points to a disconnected volume, etc)

duplicity restore --path-to-restore $RESTORE_PATH "${DUPLICITY_AWS}/${RESTORE_DIR}" "${ENV1}/${ENV2}"

If for example above $ENV1 does not exist, it would overwrite /ENV2?

If both were invalid, it would overwrite / ? 

Have made an effort trace through restore function, but can't quite follow how patchdir handles this.

Best, 

Greg

No,

as i tried to explain via example if you give a file target will e created as file. give a folder it will be created as folder. there is no /into/ in this process.
