Re: Restore, target syntax

Hello,
Thanks for the clarification. Is it possible to confirm the resulting
behavior if the target directory is not 'valid'?

e.g. if the target is set using environment variables, and one is
non-existent (or points to a disconnected volume, etc)
duplicity restore --path-to-restore $RESTORE_PATH "${DUPLICITY_AWS}/${
RESTORE_DIR}" "${ENV1}/${ENV2}"

If for example above $ENV1 does not exist, it would overwrite /ENV2?
If both were invalid, it would overwrite / ?

Have made an effort trace through restore function
<https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity/-/blob/main/duplicity/dup_main.py?ref_type=heads#L859>,
but can't quite follow how patchdir handles this.


Best,
Greg
