[Duplicity-talk] Recovering to a different system

[asterslash]

Hello!

I made backups with duplicity from a Fedora laptop onto a USB hard drive that I 
would now like to recover to another system (to a NAS4Free NAS with duplicity 
running on a macOS system).

However, from what I could tell, duplicity is not really prepared for a 
recovery like this, on another system and I was hoping you could give me some 
suggestions in order for me to recover the files’ content. Some problems I’ve 
had were:

* Duplicity not being able to chowning file to root or another user that does 
not exist in this system (it seems there’s no flag to ignore ownership) -- from 
what I could tell wouldn’t actually affect me because I’m only interested in 
the files content, but I’m not sure;
* An OSError exception on `os.mkfifo` because the “Operation [is] not 
supported” — this I imagine may be related to duplicity not being able to 
create some type of file on my NAS that existed in the source;
* Some FileNotFound exceptions, I believe, that I didn’t quite understand, but 
at the time I wasn’t paying attention so I can’t really reason why this could 
happen; I’ll probably deal with this later, since it’s not the problem blocking 
the recovery.

Thank you in advance.
