Question #143932 on Duplicity changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/143932
Status: Open => Answered edso proposed the following answer: Your using the wrong application ;). Duplicity's source has to a be local filessystem, remote sources are not supported. You might however want to try a ftpfs based approach. I personally mount some smaller sources with sshfs before some backups. ede/duply.net On 03.02.2011 13:31, Carlos Franke wrote: > New question #143932 on Duplicity: > https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/143932 > > Hi! > > > This might be trivial, but I can not figure out how to do a backup from a > remote source to a local target with duplicity. > > > When I simply do: > > FTP_PASSWORD=xyz duplicity --no-encryption ftp://my.ftp/myfolder > /my/local/backup/folder/ > > duplicity assumes I want to restore a backup from remote to local and then > fails to do so due to the lack of any existing backups: > > NcFTP version is 3.2.5 > Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed. > Last full backup date: none > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1245, in <module> > with_tempdir(main) > File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1238, in with_tempdir > fn() > File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1192, in main > restore(col_stats) > File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 539, in restore > restore_get_patched_rop_iter(col_stats)): > File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 561, in restore_get_patched_rop_iter > backup_chain = col_stats.get_backup_chain_at_time(time) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/duplicity/collections.py", line 939, > in get_backup_chain_at_time > raise CollectionsError("No backup chains found") > CollectionsError: No backup chains found > > > When I explicitely specify "incremental" or "full" like: > > FTP_PASSWORD=xyz duplicity --no-encryption ftp://my.ftp/myfolder > /my/local/backup/folder/ > > I get a "command line error: "--incremental option cannot be used when > restoring or verifying" > > > What am I doing wrong? > -- You received this question notification because you are a member of duplicity-team, which is an answer contact for Duplicity. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : duplicity-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
