Hello!
I tried to use duplicity for my day to day backup system. And now I
noticed 2 aspects:
1) it should be very helpful if all commands have abbreviations. For
example commands:
'list-current-files' and 'collection-status' are very long and will be
easier to use if 'list-current-files' have for example: 'list'
abberviation, and for 'collection-status' simple: 'status' abbreviation.
Or even: 'ls' and 'st' respectively.
2) command 'list-current-files' shows contents of archive, for example:
Mon Aug 8 11:57:48 2005
home/karol/.purple/logs/jabber/address@hidden/address@hidden/2005-08-08.105728.txt
Mon Aug 8 12:04:28 2005
home/karol/.purple/logs/jabber/address@hidden/address@hidden/2005-08-08.110330.txt
Mon Aug 8 12:10:30 2005
home/karol/.purple/logs/jabber/address@hidden/address@hidden/2005-08-08.110958.txt
and in my opinion the path column (home/karol.purple/...) more natural
should be printed with preceding
slash: /home/karol/.purple. The same refers to "restore" command where
if I want restore /home/karol path
currently I should write:
duplicity restore --file-to-restore home/karol
scp://address@hidden/some_dir /home/karol/
Lately I want after crash restore from backup my thunderbird profile and
I was very dissapointed that duplicity
after command restore not found my thunderbird profile:
address@hidden:~/tmp$ duplicity restore --file-to-restore
/home/karol/.mozilla-thunderbird
scp://address@hidden/duplicity_ubuntu_lap /home/karol/tmp/th
GnuPG passphrase:
Retype to confirm:
/home/karol/.mozilla-thunderbird not found in archive, no files restored.
but after some time and listing archive I try write path withoud
preceding slash
address@hidden:~/tmp$ duplicity restore --file-to-restore
home/karol/.mozilla-thunderbird
scp://address@hidden/duplicity_ubuntu_lap /home/karol/tmp/th
and restore was successfull.
This is my short feedback after several use of duplicity.
Regards,
