[Duplicity-talk] can't restore my files, how to debug the errors

[Jelle de Jong]

Hello everybody,

Last Friday I tried restoring some files, some directories I can restore
without problems and others give the below error messages.

Today there is a backup running (I don't know how to stop it without
destroying my previous backups that I need to restore the files), this
is causing the 1 incomplete backup set.

I could really use some help!

Thank you all.

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
