[Duplicity-talk] Feature Request: An option to create a new backup chain avoiding the transport of the hole files again

[Ralph Lehmann]

Hi Ken,

first, thanks for the new 0.4.3, the recovery mode works perfect on
Windows! :-)

Now a few words regarding the request: If duplicity runs day by day, the
backup chain becomes longer and longer. In the case of a problem with
the original files, recovery mode have to touch a lot of increments. So
the best way IMO is to create an new backup chain from time to time
using the "--full" option.

But (IIRC) unfortunately this option _don't_ use rsync to transport the
hole stuff from one site to the over ...

It would be great to have an option to create a new backup chain on the
remote site using the _existing_ increments. :-)

ciao Ralph
