When duplicity resumes the backup next run, it will start with the next volume. The half-complete volume file will sit on the backend and cause this error later when restoring. You can manually recover from this by either restoring from your older backup sets or by restoring individual files that don't happen to be in the corrupted volume. == To Reproduce == See attachment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/duplicity/+bug/487720/+attachment/2159465/+files/test.sh for a test script tor reproduce the problem. == Ubuntu SRU Justification == This is a serious data loss problem for users, which won't be noticed until they try to restore. With Ubuntu 11.10 including Deja Dup, some users may think to back up their data first then upgrade, and may accidentally create corrupted backups.
