[Duplicity-talk] problems with --remove-older-than

[Edward Chadwick]

Hi all,

I have set up an automated backup using duplicity, and am having trouble with the --remove-older-than option. Whether I run it as part of an incremental command 

  duplicity --remove-older-than 7D /backup 
scp://address@hidden/backup/

or a full backup

  duplicity --full --remove-older-than 7D /backup scp://address@hidden/backup/

it never deletes any files.

I realise it won't delete anything that is required by more recent backups, but after a full backup it should be able to delete everything prior to that, correct? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Ed Chadwick.
