I have made backups with the provided tool in B3 to an external USB -drive. Due to some circumstances my B3 had to be reformatted and re-installed, and I would now like to retrive backup material. The USB drive is visible under Storage, but for some reason I can not acccess and browse it contents.
Anyone here has an idea how to proceed?

This is why you test restoring *before* things go bad :)

To address this, normally I'd go to the SSH shell look at the way the USB is properly mounted and whether I can access it through there.

I have the same problem ! i could see the duplicity file on my external usb hard disc and I have fully access to it. I did the mount successfully over the web interface :)

My problem is now to have the correct syntax for duplicity to restore one folder from the fullbackup :oops: I have done several tries without success. Does anybody can provide me the correct syntax ? My harddisc is mounted as /home/storage/extern/... and I want to restore the folder home/storage/video to /home/storage/video.

Thanks

Oliver

@Oliver, I emailed you this on your support request to support@excito.com. Anyways, please check the man page for duplicity, it's quite explanatory:
