Duplicity

Unable to get collection-status - AssertionError

Asked by sebastian-s

Hi,
I'm trying to get the collection status on a backupset created by DejaDup. I think that some of the old backups have been partially deleted (due to a crash of DejaDup/computer).

How can I get a complete status/overview of the backups available.

I have saved the output of
duplicity collection-status --verbosity 9 file:///nas/backup/deja-dup/snoop2/
to
http://paste.ubuntu.com/6037771/

any help to clean up the backup mess is appreciated.

this happens when a volume is missing. unfortunately you cannot limit collection-status to a specific date, so it will always fail.

you can however move all files of the incremental backup and _all_ following incremental backups out of the way, say in a subfolder on your backend, simulating they never happend. assuming the full and all inc's up to this incremental have no missing files you will have backups up to the corrupted date.
