[Duplicity-talk] Is this normal behavior?

[Todd Lasman]

I've been running duplicity from a cron job to back up to a remote server using ssh.  Works fine.  Here's one line from my script:

 

duplicity --full-if-older-than 1M /srv/documents/folder scp://address@hidden//mnt/mybackupdirectory

 

Actually, I have 5 lines, each backing up a different directory.

 

It works as expected, but it seems that each command accesses the server via ssh 11-13 times!  And the entire script will access the server 80 or more times each night!

 

It's not a really big deal, but I'm wondering if this is normal behavior for duplicity.  Does each command do some sort of "checking" of the destination directory, log out, and log back in over and over again?

 

Just looking for some explanation for my friend who is hosting this server.

 

Thanks!
