Re: [Duplicity-talk] ERROR trying to run remove-older-than

[edgar . soldin]

you can place the .cache on another filesystem with enough space via 
--archive-dir see manpage  http://duplicity.nongnu.org/duplicity.1.html

you could place all files except of the last chain (latest full and it's 
incremental) into another folder on s3 so only the most recent chain is visible 
to duplicity.

you can use the appropriate remove-* commands explained in the above manpage if 
you are really sure your latest backup  is healthy.

pick your choice.. ede/duply.net
