But I will ask another question now that I have your attention I have double thought myself into a condition of not knowing what is up any more so I follow with some kind of moronic questions for reassurances sake. Formula is as follows -- eh? ]# duplicity restore --file-to-restore <realpath = A> <target_folder = B> B (the target) is the empty file where I want to put the newly uncondensed files so I can use them A ( the source) is where the archived <duplicity-full.20120205T194841Z.vol1.difftar.gz> are? For me that would be /run/media/wcase/LinuxBUb/bill19BU? Opps! just noticed something. I have a broken string of backup files I think. ]# duplicity list-current-files file://run/media/wcase/LinuxBUb/bill-19BU Import of duplicity.backends.dpbxbackend Failed: No module named pkg_resources Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
