Re: [Duplicity-talk] --archive-dir does not download deleted local signature files

I tried doing that with the following before running duplicity:

rsync -a address@hidden:${DEST}/*.sigtar.gz /var/lib/duplicity/
rsync -a address@hidden:${DEST}/*.manifest /var/lib/duplicity/

But it doesn't recognise them :-(

Am I collecting the wrong files?

But if it has no signature files to compare the current file system against 
won't it always do a
full backup?

I'm using this as the duplicity command:

duplicity --archive-dir=/var/lib/duplicity --no-encryption ${LOCALSOURC}
scp://address@hidden/${DEST}
