Duplicity

Can't figure out how to restore

Asked by Florian Brucker

I am trying to restore a single file from my backup. My backup command looks sort of like this:

    duplicity ~ file:///var/backup

I'd like to restore the file "~/docs/foobar". But if I try

    duplicity --file-to-restore docs/foobar file:///var/backup foobar_restore

I get the message

    "docs/foobar not found in archive, no files restored."

Yet, if I do a

    duplicity --list-current-files file:///var/backup

then the file "docs/foobar" is listed in there. What am I doing wrong?

I am running duplicity 0.6.13 on Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks for any pointers!

should work as described. please post privacy redacted versions of the full command (list, restore) + output to pastebin or the like and post the link here.

Sorry for the delay. It seems that I messed things up somehow. Upon carefully trying again everything works.

Thanks for your help!
