Re: [Duplicity-talk] Fwd: Re: Restoring from/to a USB stick

[Andrew Wood]

Hi Edgar/ Nate/everyone

Thanks for your help and assistance below. Hmmm, I don't understand but 
this doesn't restore the USB stick '7160-75C1' :

[awood@localhost ~]$ duplicity -t 30D --file-to-restore 
/run/media/awood/7160-75C1 
file:///run/media/awood/MyPassport/Deja-Vu-Back-up 
/run/media/awood/MyPassport/USB-Restore/7160-75C1-restored
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: Thu Mar 26 09:21:33 2020
GnuPG passphrase:
run/media/awood/7160-75C1 not found in archive - no files restored.

The reason why I think the USB stick '7160-75C1' was backed-up is that I 
see these references in the manifest 
(duplicity-inc.20200416T105339Z.to.20200420T123706Z.manifest - 20 April

Any suggestions as to how I might proceed?

Best wishes,
