New question #264755 on Duplicity:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/264755

I have created a full backup (approx. 262GB) using version 0.6.23. Backup 
destination was a folder on an external USB drive. During backup, the power 
supply of the USB drive was interrupted and the backup stopped.

Repeating the last (full) backup command line I was happy that it found the 
latest volume and appeared to take the appropriate actions, here's part of the 
out (luckily, I had saved all logs, both of the first and the second run):

[...]

I did "check" the archive using the "--list-current-files" option and it looked 
fine. So I proceeded to do the repartitioning job that I intended to do and now 
I am facing the restore process. I would like to mention that I had 
successfully tested the backup/restore process with a some 5GB big folder 
containing plenty of files.

Now when trying to do the full restore I get hash mismatches. Looking through 
existing reports I found there are tons of these bug reports, mainly back in 
the older versions, but if I had known I would have refrained from using 
duplicity and rather done a simple copy/paste backup. aaargh.

I get this kind of errors:

[...]
Writing 10 Aqua/80 Dienstleister/Hampe/Hahnauslaufkorrekturen

Deleting /tmp/duplicity-r6cAfi-tempdir/mktemp-kVpriE-8
Processed volume 7 of 8661

 Manifest hash: b90a7f7e93407f3db6833869d75e8a049161932f

...which causes the process to stop.

question 1) what is the command-line option to skip the problematic volume/file 
and carry on? --force and --ignore-errors won't do the job.

For now, I only found descriptions of how to manually extract the surviving 
files, but I have to admit I am not looking forward to do this with 500'000 
files manually.

I have 8661 volume files, each having a size of 26.3MB (5631 volumes) or 26.2MB 
(3030 volumes). The very last volume #8661 has got only 26.1MB size. So it 
looks to me as those files were "complete".

question 2) any hints what is going wrong and how to do a clean restore?


Many thanks in advance,
Andreas.
