Hello, in view of the above-mentioned post, it seems to me that the problem is not fully solved and therefore I will describe my findings. Today I tried to set up my small server backup to a second using duplicity package. I used some example for writing tiny script.
#!/bin/bash export PASSPHRASE=some_pwd export FTP_PASSWORD=some_ftp_pwd duplicity ~/SQLBACKUP ftp://[email protected]/SQLBACKUP unset PASSPHRASE unset FTP_PASSWORD When I ran the script, I got the errors listed above, but a directory SQLBACKUP was created on the target server. The permissions of this directory were okay (some similar bug), so I tried to run the script a second time and the backup went without errors. Other backups were already running without errors too. In my opinion, the problem may be that it fails to create a backup directory on the target server fast enough. As a target server I used ftp server on Windows once and second ftp server on Ubuntu 18.04 and the result was always the same (physically three machines on network: one with duplicity and two ftp servers). When I prepared SQLBACKUP directory on the target server manually, the backup went without errors too. machine with duplicity: ----------------------- Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Python 2.7.17 duplicity 0.7.17 (from Ubuntu repository) lftp version 4.8.1 Perhaps a small loop in the depths of duplicity package, that tests whether a directory has already been created, would help :-). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770929 Title: Duplicity fails with UnicodeDecodeError in uexc function To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1770929/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
