Re: [Duplicity-talk] new strange behaviour without changes

[Stefan Hoth]

Hi Ken,

My problem (maybe just in my understanding) is that I wanted to have the
possibility to go back to an earlier state and fetch e.g. the etc/passwd
from 2 weeks ago. But without these signatures I'm unable to get earlier
file,am I?

Maybe I just have got something wrong with the syntax for a filefetch
with date provided. Would it be possible to give me an example for that
so I can verify IF I have real problem?

Thanks in advance,

Stevie
