To reproduce: 1. disable the connection to S3 2. run a "collection-status" (basically I run 'duply X status') You'll get a bunch of these: Deleting local /srv/duply-cache/duply_srv/duplicity-inc.20140106T010002Z.to.20140107T010002Z.manifest (not authoritative at backend). Deleting local /srv/duply-cache/duply_srv/duplicity-new-signatures.20131211T124323Z.to.20131211T124519Z.sigtar.gz (not authoritative at backend). This is fatal if you run it in a configuration using GPG and having only the public key for encryption as well as a separate signing key. Then you cannot backup any more, as the decrypted local cache has been deleted and the files on the S3 are encrypted. Probably reason: There is no check if the connection to the backend could be established Workaround: If you replace at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity- team/duplicity/0.6-series/view/head:/duplicity/backends/_boto_single.py#L270 the line return [] with return None Then duplicity will crash instead of deleting the local files. Not the proper solution but at least you can do a backup when the connection comes back up.
