The $FTP_URL is perfectly fine. Duplicity run for 5 hours (that's a
separate question, why is it so slow) before it died. During these 5
hours it did upload 27 volumes, so it connect fine to the FTP server.

I can try running this command outside the script and leave it
overnight, see what happens.

The other strange thing is that both the archive and the tmp folders
were empty at the end.

Would this error occur of the FTP server dropped the connection for some reason?

Thanks,
Marius

I wonder if one or more of the files in your include have an invalid filename? That might explain why it carries on for a while until it hits this problem file?

Perhaps bumping up the verbosity would more clearly show the termination point.
