[Duplicity-talk] listing files in a backup session [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Peter . Hine]

Hi,

If i run a collection-status i get an output like :

 Type of backup set:                            Time:      Num volumes:
                Full         Sun Aug 23 21:00:03 2015               334
         Incremental         Mon Aug 24 21:00:03 2015                 8
         Incremental         Tue Aug 25 10:07:23 2015                 2
         Incremental         Tue Aug 25 11:36:50 2015                 1
         Incremental         Tue Aug 25 13:25:46 2015                 1
         Incremental         Tue Aug 25 13:36:52 2015                 1
         Incremental         Tue Aug 25 13:37:59 2015                 1

If i try and see what the 8 files in the first incremental are using
        duplicity list-current-files -t "Mon Aug 24 21:00:03 2015"
scp://address@hidden:54321//backup/
I get the following error
        duplicity: error: Bad time string "Mon Aug 24 21:00:03 2015"

so a few things,

how do i get the collection-status to output a date that is suitable for
copy/paste straight back into itself.

how do i see what those eight files (directories ??) are ?

just looking to make instructions for restores so it can seem a bit more
straight forward.
so far it is looking complex to try to find and restore a file (or
directory) that is NOT the current version.






thanks
