Question #163116 on Duplicity changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/163116
Rodrigo Alvarez posted a new comment: After updating to the latest version of duplicity and increasing the max number of open files to 500,000 (half a million) duplicity still stopped the verification process with message OSError: [Errno 24]. I then started verifications (using the patched .manifest as suggested earlier) of prior dates (--time yyyy/mm/dd) and duplicity churned for hours before reporting another cryptic GPG error: ===== Begin GnuPG log ===== gpg: CAST5 encrypted data gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase gpg: WARNING: encrypted message has been manipulated! ===== End GnuPG log ===== Using different dates, resulted in shorter or longer runs and more volumes processed but the result was the same. Eventually I ran a verification to a date prior to the corrupted manifest, the one with the missmatched hash, and voila! Verification completed and then a restore to that date was successful. I will assume that some volumes associated with the mismatched hatch were somehow damaged even though GPG could manually decrypt them. Although I was lucky this time and I only lost some history (and a lot of time), duplicity failed to 1) detect there was a problem during the normal backup cycle and notify it and 2) provide a clear indication of why verification was failing and which files/volumes where being affected-event at -v9. I'm now updating my backup script to run frequent verifications of my backends. This is something I can afford because I run a local file server. Overall my gratitude goes out to Ken and Edso for helping through this process and suggesting valuable pointers. -- 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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
