Re: [Duplicity-talk] Sigh

Thanks for the replies everyone. I saw what I did wrong. I needed to run 
ssh-add to have a proper identity to avoid the repeated prompting for 
passphrase. 

This will work for debugging the homebrew script and hopefully achieving a full 
backup on the backup server. I certainly will have time in the meanwhile to 
consider your suggestions since I want the script to work as a cron job.

Again, thanks for the quick response. 

P.S. Talking about "eyes glazing over rapidly; --verbosity 9 sure does it to 
these tired eyes.

You need to have an ssh-agent setup for this to work.

Check this out for an easy way to get this setup:

You should run one with --verbosity 9 set.

Let that run in a terminal, and when it fails, you will know what it was
doing right before the failure happened.

This is just to let you know that the last backup did not work.

Thanks!
