I would like to add a further suggestion. The last time I looked at the
internals of duplicity, when you restored a file it first had to
download an index file from the remote. If you have a backup with many
small files, this index file can be very large.

Would it be possible to cache this locally and use some sort of checksum
to see if it had to be downloaded again.

As I say it's a while since I looked at the internals, so apologies if
this problem has already been addressed.

Ian.
