Re: [Duplicity-talk] using the 'find' command to exclude files over a certain file size

[Jason Martin]

Yes your right. I just tried it and got the same results from a dry-run. As usual I'm overcomplicating things by substituting the whitespace with "\ ", but obviously that's not required...

I've updated my script with your solution.

Do you think this function should be built into Duplicity as one of the options?

did it choke on spaces in the path?
