Re: [Duplicity-talk] Restoring from the last full backup (Re: Difficulties with restore: 'Could not restore the following files. Please make sure you are able to write to them.')

Use of the status command will list the full and incremental backups on the 
server.  After every nightly backup, I run a cleanup and then a status command 
as part of the backup script.  These are dumped into log files.
