try
duplicity restore --file-to-restore "S & S CD/4-6/" file:///tmp/S_and_S_container/ /tmp/4_6/
instead.

if this still fails, do a full restore and pick from there. possibly duplicity chokes on the '&'... but i am not familiar with this part of the code.

..ede/duply.net

I have tried to do both. the issue is that the backup seems to have some problems with at least one file when trying to do a full restore and that causes the restore to fail.

Im not sure what the issue is.

it claims there is a file path 'S_and_S_wedding/Wedding/_DSC3751.NEF' . is this correct? your earlier statements suggest otherwise.

So earlier I tried to restore just a sub directory of the full backedup dir. Now when I try to restore the full directory (which is what i want) its hits an error that causes the restore to error out. (previous comment)

So im not sure what is going on.

you haven't answered the question regarding the path from the mail before.

..ede

Yes. the path is correct.

It seems to be having trouble with that directory (or more specifically with that file). And when it encounters that file it throws a errror (above) which causes duplicity to stop working.

Thanks for helping me.

ah ok, i see
'S & S CD/4-6/'
is not
'S_and_S_wedding/Wedding/_DSC3751.NEF'

still no idea why the file has no index value.
