[Duplicity-talk] Restore single file from incremental, retrieving full

[Oliver Cole]

Hi,

I'm testing retrieving a single file from a backup in Duplicity (v0.7.17).

The backup set consists of 1 full and 1 incremental - and the requested 
file only exists in the incremental. (This is a test scenario I put 
together, so I'm certain this is the case).

When I retrieve the single file (with --verbosity debug) I can see it is 
retrieving the full backup volumes.

Am I misunderstanding the duplicity model, or is my restore command 
wrong? It seems to me the metadata should know the file only exists in 
the incremental and just get that?

I've tried specifying `--time` both before the incremental and after it. 
Is this affected by the timestamps on the files originally, or only 
their presence for a backup?
