[Duplicity-talk] recover difficulties

[Ingrid Lohmann]

hi all,

lately I installed duplicity on our rootserver.(also with the help o f this 
mailing list). I use the following backup script:

---start---
#!/bin/bash
export PASSPHRASE=signtest
duplicity --encrypt-key "F23AZ111" --sign-key "F23AZ111"   -v9 /var  
scp://address@hidden//root/backups/var
---end---

IMHO this should backup all files under /var such as for instance the unix 
logfiles (e.g. /var/log/messages) or files in connection with our internet 
presence (/var/www/web1/html/index.php)

In order to test wether its possible to recover a file
I tried the following shell command:

duplicity  --encrypt-key "F23AZ111" --sign-key "F23AZ111" --file-to-restore   
/var/log/mail.info   scp://address@hidden//root/backups/var /root/backuptest


but I get the following message:

When I start the backup script I it begins with:
