Re: [Duplicity-talk] how to use verify command?

[Raphael Bauduin]

But my example should have raised an error, no? The file /etc/hostname on the host I run the verify command is different from that file in the backup. I thought it would at least find one different.

duplicity does not check hostname unless you are backing up, so every command except 'full' and 'inc' should work without error.

Hi,

I'm testing the 'duplicity verify' command, and get confusing results...

I'm running the command on a server which is not the server from which the data is backed-up. I'm doing:

duplicity verify file://backups/duplicity /etc/hostname

The hostname is different, so I would expect to get an error, but exit status is 0 and output is:

Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: Thu Mar 16 14:55:54 2017
GnuPG passphrase:
Verify complete: 17936 files compared, 0 differences found.

Did I misunderstand something here?

Thanks

Raphaël
