I have a server which backs up itself on another server with duplicity (actually duply). The full backup is about 330 1-GB files. The full backup finished without problems, but the next day the incremental terminated with “CRC check failed”. On the backup server several files appear to have a problem: # gzip *20170530* –test … Read more

Has anyone here run Duplicity on a ReadyNAS? I’m trying but here’s what I get: duplicity full –encrypt-key=”ABC123″ /home/jason/ scp://jswett@192.168.140.2//gob Invalid SSH password Running ‘sftp -oServerAliveInterval=15 -oServerAliveCountMax=2 jswett@192.168.140.2′ failed (attempt #1) I’ve also found this post that says the “Invalid SSH password” message doesn’t actually mean invalid SSH password. This would make sense because I’m … Read more
I want duply to take a full backup every Saturday, but only if there was no manual full backup during the week. I don’t want a full backup to happen on any other weekday but Saturday. Rationale: It may happen that I have to fix a backup during the week by running a full backup. … Read more
We have been doing incremental backups using Duply on our main server, to an S3 bucket. However, we’ve found that there is a high server load during the backups (its an Amazon EC2 server). We’re thinking this may be due to it checking every file on S3 to see if there are any changes. What … Read more
I am running a Samba PDC with both home directories and Win7 (roaming) profiles under ‘/home’, i.e.: /home/[user name] /home/samba/profiles/[user name]/win.V2 For backup purposes (duplicity 0.6.18 on Debian 7.6), I am only interested in a user’s home directory and the respective ‘Documents’ profile folder. My exclude globbing filelist looks like this: + /home/samba/profiles/*/win.V2/Documents – /home/samba … Read more

Normally this command works properly for restoring: duplicity restore -t7D –file-to-restore folder/to_restore file:///where/is/the_backup/ /where_to_restore –no-encrypt But today I am having this error: Temp space has 0 available, where_to_restore needs approx 34078720. Following the duplicity FAQs: http://duplicity.nongnu.org/FAQ.html#tmp_space I have added TMPDIR=”/usr/tmp” to the bash_profile and done source ~/.bash_proflle but did not work. Also, tried adding –tempdir … Read more
