Duplicity

how to get a list of new, changed, and deleted files?

Asked by Dan Drake

Sometimes when I do an incremental backup, the statistics at the end are a bit surprising -- usually the total size change is larger than I expected. In this situation, I would like a way to find a list of the new, changed, and deleted files in the backup. Is there a way to do this? I'd like to have something like

$ duplicity --list-new-changed-deleted-files [somehow specify the backup]

which outputs something like:

new: /foo.txt
changed: /bar.txt
deleted: /home

Thanks.

That's not implemented. You could try raising the loglevel and look if you could grep some info out of it.
