Duplicity restore...?
Posted: 17 Dec 2012, 14:53
I have a full backup and a couple of incremental backups via Duplicity offsite (below called Bubba_offsite)
I have a Bubba at home, (below called Bubba_home) with user files that are restored from the last years backup. The Bubba_offsite, contains full backups from january 2012 to some week ago.
Is it possible to combine the existing user files on Bubba_home that are from the last year, with the backup on the Bubba_offsite that are from January 2012?
In other words:
I would like to only restore the diff between the existing user files on Bubba_home and the Bubba_offsite.
Is it possible to do it with something like this?
Will I with this command end up with duplicate files (existing + restored), or will I get only the files that differs??
