[Duplicity-talk] 2 incomplete backup sets

[Jeffrey Yunes]

Hi duplicity experts,

I have a couple questions and suggestions.

Do you know why I would ever have "2 incomplete backup sets?" That is, 
why did duplicity start a new backup set before completing the first 
one? Is there a way I can continue an incomplete backup?

Also, can I can restore a file from an incomplete backup set?

Finally, when my disk ran out of space, I eventually got an error that 
sounded like there was a network problem. I think it would be nice to 
have a more descriptive error message.

Thanks!
