Title: duplicity allows bad passphrase on full backup if archive cache exists Status in Déjà Dup: Fix Released Status in Duplicity: New Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: when doing a backup for the first time, dejadup verifies your passphrase by having you enter it twice. on future incremental backups it doesn't need to do this because entering the wrong password will result in the backup failing. with the periodic 'full' backups that happen from time to time, however, any password will be accepted. this can lead to a situation where you accidentally type the wrong password once and are left in a situation where you don't know what you typed and have no way to get your files (or do another incremental backup on top of it). i think this is what happened to me recently. clearly, the fix is to explicitly verify the passphrase is correct when doing a new full backup. this may be a duplicity bug.
