[Duplicity-talk] cleanup commands

[Jeremy Miller]

Hello everyone,

I have "cleanup --force" run before each backup to ensure there aren't any lingering issues from the last backup.  I have recently started getting the following when I run the "cleanup" command:

Is this occurring simply because the files it is trying to remove do not exist on the destination?  I have run the "sftp  -oServerAliveInterval=15 -oServerAliveCountMax=1 <backupserver>" and it connections just fine, backups run fine, restores are fine, etc.

Thanks,
