R: R: R: R: [Duplicity-talk] archive-dir option meaning

[Bonvicini, Alessandro]

Hi all,

I am using 0.5.15 version of duplicity. Sometimes the backup fails always on 
these outlook files.

I don't understand why, but I suspect that depends on the fact that outlook 
keep these files locked.
In fact the when the program dies the user has outlook opened.
But this is only a suspect,  the file itself if inspected with unlocker tool 
seems free.

So what can I do to prevent duplicity crashing?
Thanks in advance 
Alex
