Re: [Duplicity-talk] duplicity & Backblaze B2 - shell script

[Nate Eldredge]

It looks like you just copy-pasted the entire output of the `env` command 
to set all the environment variables the same as whatever your shell 
session had at the time.  As far as I can tell, all of them are either 
unnecessary or counterproductive.

All you should really care about is the last line.  (Actually the last two 
lines which seem to be one line that has been improperly split.)  That's 
the duplicity command.

PASSPHRASE="passphrase" duplicity --allow-source-mismatch '/path/to/files' 
b2://8da2xxxxx@bucketname
