[Duplicity-talk] Understanding Duplicity run report

[Mikko Ohtamaa]

Hi all,

I have the following report from the duplicity from the incremental backup run. Does RawDelta and TotalDestinationSize actually mean that this was the delta amount required to upload and store in the backup?

Is this so? In my case something is off as, as from 70 GB set almost 69.5 GB would have changed. This cannot be true, as I know that the most of the files are static.

Using SFTP backend.

What could cause this behavior?

I also run the duplicity in verbose mode and it seems to be adding (A) files to the backup which I know have not changed - does this happen for every backed up file or only for new/delta files?

Cheers,

Mikko
