Whatever I try after an interrupted backup attempt, I can't resolve the situation og get past it without either providing the corresponding secret key for decryption, or manually deleting the partial backup set on the destination host. > > this might be a point of improvement. on a cleanup any decryption might be forgone. especially if it solves these issues. I don’t think that cleanup needs a private key. In this case it was hung up on the “resume” stage of the backup. If I give up on resuming, I could probably make it work by doing a cleanup before the full/incremental backup. Then do a backup, get status, then cleanup again? Cleanup is not a particularly time consuming operation. BUT it just means that a particle update will never be resumed. >>> Today I removed the --asynchronous-upload option since it is still deprecated, but I remember so discussion that it was working correctly awhile ago. >> >> deprecated -> experimental (I assume) > > > `--asynchronous-upload` was experimental for years and is now/will be deprecated, because of it's instability. it'll be removed and a replacement will come with duplicity 3.0. I hadn’t had problems with it, but multi-threading asynchronous actions are always problematic in Python. One reason it is not my favorite development language. Now that I have decent upload bandwidth from my ISP I do not have to try to optimize my transfers quite so much. I will look forward to duplicity 3.X and re-evaluate then. -Scott _______________________________________________ Duplicity-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/duplicity-talk
