Re: [Duplicity-talk] Remove a file from backups

[Cláudio Gil]

Hi,

Duplicity does not provide ways to change uploaded files. It just lists, creates and deletes them. So your best course of action, I believe, is to first do a full backup and then use remove-all-but-n-full (or variants) to remove previous backups. This way, while the full backup is executing, you at least have a backup to return to if somethings goes wrong with the new full backup.

Cheers,

Cláudio

I recently realized that one of the files on my system contains
sensitive information in plain text.  I've now encrypted the file with
a password but it has been included in my duplicity archives in
unencrypted form.  Can I remove the unencrypted file from all of my
duplicity archives?  If not, is deleting all of the old archives and
running a fresh, full backup the right solution?  Since I create
backups unattended, I don't use a password to encrypt them.
