[Duplicity-talk] Recovery - problems, if the recovery folder is not empty (0.4.3 RC11 on Cygwin)

[Ralph Lehmann]

Hi,

I've tried to recover a backup to an empty folder, and this works fine.
But if a folder have a least one file in it (from a recovery in the past
or manually created), recovery fails:
-------------------------------------
$ duplicity --short-filenames -v9 -t 2007-07-07T10:53:00
ssh://address@hidden//cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Administrator/dup-b
dup-rec/
Restore destination directory dup-rec/ already exists.
Will not overwrite.
-------------------------------------
First, (in case of restoration the backup to an empty folder) the
restore destination exists too. ;-) The error message should be modified
appropriate.
Second, it should be possible to force duplicity with the "--force"
option to write in this directory, but unfortunately --force don't work
 in this case.

ciao Ralph
