HI , many thanks for your response.
If I understand well I cannot delete the old sitar and manifest file cause I
have created my backup with archive-dir option set.
There is a problem, my local manifest and sigtar directory grows everyday and
slowly take many gbytes of space and slowly take up my harddisk.
What policy can I use to limit the sigtar grow? Please, I would like to make a
full backup only one time a year, is it possible to discard sigtar in any way ?
I use 05.15 version.
If I redo my archive without archive-dir option the sigtar and manifest will be
present again on client?
Thank
Alex

Under 0.6.0, the archive-dir is used by default to keep persistence, so yes, it
is needed. I thought I had changed the man file...whoops.

Revert to 0.5.18 at http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ and all will work as it used
to, less checkpoint/restart. This is the easiest solution.
or, restore the archive-dir to the command line and if you have not deleted the
actual dir, it should start with an incremental.
or, if you have deleted the archive-dir, do:
1) create ~/.duplicity/backup-name and cd to it
2) copy *sigtar* *manifest* files from remote to local
3) use gpg to decrypt the files just downloaded
Sorry for all the confusion.
