Re: [Duplicity-talk] SSH backend and shell escaping

[Kenneth Loafman]

It turns out that the man page is wrong.  You can specify multiple --ssh-option= options on the command line and leave off the double quotes.  So in your case, use:

duplicity --ssh-options=-oProtocol=2 --ssh-options=-oIdentityFile=/my/backup/id

I'll get a fix in to the man page.

jepp, easiest for you, work for someone to implement ;)

totally correct. as you wrote later, when you run it like that it works. it's not a duplicity issue if you can't provide the parameters correctly via script ;)

PS: no offense, i know shell hacking can be hard and confusing. but treat it as an educational hazard.
