Re: [Duplicity-talk] Purging, purge-full, not working?

[Karl Buckland]

Hi,

Duply conf file (I've removed gpg_pw, target& user/pass):

http://pastebin.com/Jqy5fvtx

Output of 'duply chronos status'

http://pastebin.com/Piybxqv2

Output of 'duply chronos purge'

http://pastebin.com/Fg6YP5Bj

I get the same output from purge if I also supply any arguments.

Thanks,

Karl
