Re: [Duplicity-talk] UnicodeDecodeError

[Kenneth Loafman]

Hi,

1. Did you uninstall the repo version of duplicity first?  If not, then 'apt remove duplicity' and reinstall 0.7.17.

2. The message you would have gotten is: 

"Fatal Error: Backup source directory has changed.\n"

                       "Current directory: %s\n"

                       "Previous directory: %s"

    So it looks like you're trying to do something wrong.  Either start a new FULL backup (preferred) or use the option "--allow-source-mismatch".

And yes, there is still a bug, just trying to get past it and get your backup done.

Hello,

Have got UnicodeDecodeError error on incremental backups:

Eror was found on Duplicity 0.7.12-1 (the version from repository) and after update the error reproduced on 0.7.17 version.

Any ideas to eliminate the error?

Thanks,

WBR
