New question #404018 on Duplicity: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/404018
Hi there, I'm facing an interesting situation and I'm sure that I'm not alone: I have a backup set that comprises way more data than what my internet connection can handle within 24 hours (the set is about 200 GB and that should take round about a week). Unfortunately, my ISP disconnects my internet connection every 24 hours and assigns me a new IP. And the backends that I've tried so far (SSH and dropbox) cannot handle the closed socket (even though the internet connectivity is back after a few seconds). I tried quite a few things but in the end failed. So, I have some questions: 1) Does it somehow harm the quality of the backup if I would start the backup process over manually (or via the bash) 20 times? I don't find it a good solution to resume the backup for so often but currently I see no other option. I really would appreciate your opinion on that 2) Are there or will there be any backends that can hanlde such a situation? In principle, it's pretty simple. The backend "only" would have to start over authentication and reconnect completely in case of a permanent error (at least trying this in case of a permanent error would be very useful). 3) Is anybody here encountering the same problem and maybe found a different solution that I did not yet think of? Thanks in advance Have a nice weekend!
