Unable to perform a full restore after full backup - "No files found in archive"

Asked by Michael Leinartas

I'm trying to get what I think is a simple backup and restore tested and have been banging my head for hours trying to get the restore piece to work.

I'm using s3 as a store and am backing up a Graphite storage tree and attempting to restore to a second box. My backup looks like this:

duplicity full /opt/graphite/storage s3+http://graphite_backup/graphite1 --no-encryption --no-compression

The backup completes successfully:
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: none

On restore I'm expecting to just be able to reverse the source and dest parameters but no matter what I do I get "No files found in archive - nothing restored." Here's the restore command:
duplicity restore s3+http://graphite_backup/graphite1 /opt/graphite/storage/ --no-encryption --no-compression

and result with -vinfo:

No files found in archive - nothing restored.

If I do a list-current-files command instead of restore, I get the full list of backed up files just fine. I've played around with --file-to-restore with relative paths to see if I could at least get a file or two, but get the same error (<file> not found in archive..).

I've tested this with both 6.0.18 and 6.0.19 with the same result and am quite frustrated. This *has* to be something I'm misunderstanding, right? Please help me see the light

you should try to circle in the issue.

do a backup a small test set (one folder some small files)

try A:
 same settings but file:// backend to exclude s3 backend as faulty

try B:
 same settings to s3 but allow compression. --no-compression is relatively new and could have a bug.

Ah indeed, just did a small test with the file:// backend and had the same issue. Removing the --no-compression flag and it restores just fine.

I'll turn this into a bug.

Thanks
