It actually takes 3 commands (--cleanup is a command).
duplicity --cleanup ...
duplicity --remove-older-than ...
duplicity --full-if-older-than ...
If you are doing 2 incremental backups a day for a month, that's 60
incremental backups to restore if Murphy hits on the 30th day. You
might want to reduce the frequency of the incremental backups and
increase the frequency of the full backups.
