On every run, with the same parameters, it would spit out: Last full backup date: Tue Sep 9 16:47:20 2014 Deleting backup chains at times: Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014 Wed Aug 6 05:40:01 2014 Deleting incremental signature chain Wed Aug 6 05:40:01 2014 Deleting incremental signature chain Wed Aug 6 05:40:01 2014 Deleting incremental signature chain Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014 Deleting incremental signature chain Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014 Deleting incremental backup chain Wed Aug 6 05:40:01 2014 Deleting incremental backup chain Tue Jul 29 05:40:01 2014 It turns out that those are full backups, and that duplicity _would_ have deleted any incremental chains attached to them (and probably has on some previous run.) The attached patch is my suggested rewording of the log message.
