Re: [Duplicity-talk] problems trying to use par2

John,

A.
wrt. to the first issue.. i am pretty sure that you cannot start using par2 
backend just within a chain. it will try to download the par2 files for the 
existing chain, which obviously were never created, so a missing resource 
exception sounds only natural.
solution: start a new chain by creating a new full.

make sure that you have par2 installed. it is a command line binary eg. like 
gpg. them make sure it is in PATH environment and can be executed by running 
'par2' on the command line.
