Thanks Tom;

Following your advice I got for my command 
~]# duplicity restore
--file-to-restore 
/run/media/wcase/LinuxBUb/bill19BU/home/bill/.local/share/gnote file:/// 
/run/media/wcase/LinuxBUb/bill-20Restored/home/bill/.local/share/gnote

My return was: 
Import of duplicity.backends.dpbxbackend Failed: No module named
pkg_resources
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: none
GnuPG passphrase: 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/duplicity", line 1466, in <module>
    with_tempdir(main)
  File "/bin/duplicity", line 1459, in with_tempdir
    fn()

    restore(col_stats)
  File "/bin/duplicity", line 687, in restore
    restore_get_patched_rop_iter(col_stats)):

    backup_chain = col_stats.get_backup_chain_at_time(time)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/duplicity/collections.py",
line 949, in get_backup_chain_at_time
    raise CollectionsError("No backup chains found")
CollectionsError: No backup chains found

For the GnuPG I used my root pw.  No password was assigned to this back
up in the first place.
