unable to backup about duplicity-backup.sh HOT 11 CLOSED

Please provide more information, otherwise I don't even know where to begin...

1. What is the result of git log -1 --oneline
2. Paste the content of your config file (without any password) at https://haste.zertrin.org/ and include the link here.

Thanks!

Hum I can't see yet where the problem could be... The lines around line 490 of the scripts are quite old and weren't changed recently.

Just an idea to be sure: if your passphrase contains a $, did you escape it as documented in the config file?

Note: if you have a '$' in your passphrase, escape it with a ''

PS: I removed the AWS Access key and the bucket name from the paste, for better protection of sensitive informations ;)

there is no $ but I do have several forward slashes and a plus sign. I
escaped them but it didn't make a difference.

There seems to be a trailing space in your config file here (after the backslash): EXCLIST=( "/mnt/hd5/files/*/Trash" \

from duplicity-backup.sh.

for simplicity I commented out the lines and still have the same error.

looking at the error a bit further I believe it has to do with the LOG_FILE
and the back ticks.

Did you solve the problem and have you identified the root cause?

By lack of activity I'm closing this issue but feel free to reopen it if you still think there is a bug somewhere in the code that could be solved.

Hi zetrin,
I know that is not the place to request but i need some help with this script and duplicity. I have problems with sftp and scp protocol. Can you provide me some contact method to you?

Hi @Nilp,

I'm sorry but I really can't provide private individual support on how to use duplicity-backup.sh, not because I don't want, but because I really don't have the time to. The number of problems that users can encounter are just too big (think at all the protocols supported by duplicity, and all the authentification and permissions problems of each of these protocols), and most of the time are not related to my wrapper script at all.

As written in the duplicity-backup.sh IS NOT duplicity section in the readme, You need to install and configure duplicity before using duplicity-backup.sh.

Only if you can show that you can make it work by using duplicity alone, but not when using this wrapper, can I offer some help to find the cause of the problem (this would mean there is a problem with this script).

If you have problems with duplicity in general, then please use the support channels for duplicity first (see https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/duplicity-talk for example).

The best advice I can give is really to get it to work with duplicity alone before trying to use this script ;)

from duplicity-backup.sh.

Ok I understand. I used with ftp and works properly.
