Presumably this is technically feasible, as the --remove-older-than option manages to selectively delete only those files that are no longer referenced, but it seems that duplicity does not currently support this. How would I go about doing this with the underlying rdiff tools?
The 1GB file would be buried in among the 5MB chunks, probably starting in one, spanning several, then ending in another. To cleanly remove the one file and adjust all the other items would require rewriting a fair part of the backup itself, at least the two enclosing files, and renumbering and reindexing the rest. Would be easier just to perform the backup again.
