Hello,

I recently started using Duplicity to perform offsite backups for a linux 
server of ours. When I performed  a simulated disaster recovery scenario I 
found that the only data I had been able restore was data from the initial full 
backup. It doesn't appear that Duplicity was automatically doing incrementals 
despite the data growing. Below is the command I'm using...

FTP_PASSWORD='somepass' PASSPHRASE='somepass' duplicity /mnt 
ftps://address@hidden

Shouldn't that automatically assume incrementals if the full had already been 
done?

yes. what's the output of collection-status?

..ede/duply.net
After having manually ran an incremental or two, here is the current status.

dunno what your complaining about. it clearly states

1 x full
5 x incrementals

run again without forced incremental and see if it adds full or incr.

..ede



So I just ran it again and I see it says "NewFiles 0" and "NewFileSize 0". The content I'm backing up is an email archive that uses Maildir format for storage. I know for certain several hundred emails or more have landed in this archive since my last incremental yet this last job doesn't seem to see it. So, my question is, why isn't the incremental job grabbing the latest data?
