hmm, you are actually right. they are not listed, not sure if they ever were or
this is a doc error. can you please file a ticket on launchpad for this?
anyway - sorting out backup chains on the backend is easy, simply have a look!
the files have timespans in their filename.
a chain consists of a full followed by incrementals.
a backup consists of a sig, manifest and volumes if there was data to backup.
moving a complete chain somewhere else does the same as deleting it from the
backend as far as duplicity is concerned.
