Suppose I have daily backups for the last year. (Not that it should
matter, but assume "--full-if-older-than 3W" was used).
A user tells me, "I had a file called data/stuff.txt which existed for
about 10 days. I don't remember which 10 days, but could you find it
and restore it?"
Obviously I can do "duplicity collection-status" to see that backups
were done every day. However, is there a way to see which of those
days the file he mentions existed?
That's really not possible unless it was contained in a full backup.
'--list-current-files' in conjunction with '-t datetime' will give you the
current list by datetime, but if the file was created and deleted during the
three week window between backups, then it's gone.
Yes, that was the -t option, but the incremental files for the previous full backup are automatically removed as soon as a new full is made.
