Hmmmm. Many questions. The networked machine is an old desktop running a very old version of Ubuntu. There is no Windows involved here, and no mount so I'm not understanding where Samba comes into the picture. As I said in the original statement of the bug, I am connecting via the SSH protocol, so I am not entirely sure where the question of mounting a drive comes in. If I do mount a drive from the other machine, would this solve my problem and enable backups to finish, and if so, what protocol should I then set up duplicity to use? Or would another of the available duplicity protocols work better for me?
Even more puzzling, a directory listing of the troublesome file shows it is < 2GB in size by a factor of 16 or so: -rw-rw-r-- 1 scohen scohen 262180864 Oct 7 2021 duplicity-full- signatures.20211007T135951Z.sigtar.gz I suppose truncation might have occurred to a size well < 2GB. Also, why is this file so big? In looking over the earlier output, I appear to be backing up a lot of old junk that no longer requires backup or even existence. Would eliminating some of it help me? Or, since I have no need of earlier backups, might I be well served by simply erasing everything in the Taormina directory of the backup drive and starting over?
