Re: [Duplicity-talk] When modifying a file under the backup dir, duplicity still thinks that there are no differences with the backup (stored on GDrive)

[Kenneth Loafman]

Actually, he has to use --compare-data for verify to look at the local data, otherwise verify just validates that the backup is intact and is not corrupted.

please post the output of something along the lines

1. duplicity backup
2. touch a file
3. duplicity incr backup (here the summary log should show one changed file)

note that 'verify' is not a backup but a temp restore with comparision to the original local file.

also: use the duplicity-talk mailing list, that's what it's there for. we don't do one on one support.
