There's not much to go on there. Are you able to connect manually to the ftp server and put files on it? If so, I would suggest just checking you've entered the username and password correctly into the backup job details as a first step.

Can you please read the log files for duplicity? They're in /var/log/backup/

I have doublechecked everything.

[mprs]

same problem....

[johannes]

we are checking this out now, sorry for the inconvenience.

Just to check, you do have 2.3.0.1 as version, right? (minor bug fix with the backup from 2.3). If not update and try again.

[mprs]

mine is 2.3.0.1

[pcrene]

Yep me too: 2.3.0.1

Rene

[johannes]

Ok, thanks. We are on it.

[mprs]

Works now after Carl had access to my B3 - What a service...

[mprs]

Ahhh, bloody hell, was to fast. It makes a backup, BUT the file i had in my test-folder is not on the FTP-server. instead there is theese 3 files:

duplicity-full-signatures.20110804T160950Z.sigtar.gz
duplicity-full.20110804T160950Z.manifest
duplicity-full.20110804T160950Z.vol1.difftar.gz

If i backup photo.jpg, shouldnt it be that file there is on my FTP?

[johannes]

Nope, this is a backup service, not a sync service. For instance when it makes only differential backups it (naturally) can't send full files.

However, in all full backups (such as the first) the backup data should be in one of the compressed files, so you can open in on any machine with the right unpacking software.
