Hi Mark, duplicity doesn't support restore into a non-empty directory. I assume you have simple switched the source and target location and `/home/donna/` is an existing user home with files. Looks like there is at least a folder `.cache` in the target dir. I think we can make the error message more actionable. (I think we check the prerequisite of an empty folder at another place, but it may miss the `.cache` as it is a hidden name.) If you would open an issue in https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity/ we can take a look into it.
