please don't top post, when the answer was below ;)..

ok, so you have weekly chains. looks good to me. the files you mentioned do not 
seem to exist any more.

when you did
   duplicity remove-older-than 2M ..
before you probably ended up with a time before
   Tue Feb  7 22:05:24 2017
so duplicity assumed you wanted to keep the chain before that as well.

why don't you go the easy route and do (from the manpage)

"
remove-all-but-n-full <count> [--force] <url>
     Delete all backups sets that are older than the count:th last full backup 
(in other words, keep the last count full backups and associated incremental 
sets). count must be larger than zero. A value of 1 means that only the single 
most recent backup chain will be kept. Note that --force will be needed to 
delete the files instead of just listing them.
"

you probably want to keep 4 fulls (chains).. ede/duply.net

Hi!

I've a duplicity backup script, something like this:

...
duplicity --no-encryption --full-if-older-than 1W /var/backups/hotcopy-dup 
s3://...
...
duplicity remove-older-than 2M --force s3://...

The second part should delete my old backups, but it doesn't. It says:

Which can't be deleted because newer sets depend on them.
No old backup sets found, nothing deleted.

Why newer sets depends on backups before 2017.02.25, which is the last full 
backup date?

Thank you.

can you send a collection-status? ..ede/duply.net
