Thanks very much Mark that did the trick.
To all those working on Duplicity... Thanks you very very much!!! This is a wonderful tool that has saved my backside a few time.
You should just be able to delete all of the files associated with that incremental backup, and it will be like it never existed
the files should be like:
duplicity-inc.<DATE_START>.to.<DATE_END>.manifest.gpg
duplicity-new-signatures.<DATE_START>.to.<DATE_END>.sigtar.gz.gpg
the difftar files for all of the volumes for the date range
you just have to find all the files that have the correct start date -> to date, like ".20160301T165929Z.to.20160301T173430Z" and then just delete those. Verify with 'duplicity collection-status' to make sure that it correctly detects that the latest incremental backup was removed. Duplicity will say that it deleted the manifest/sigtar files from your archive_dir cache since they will no longer be present in the backend.

Hi all,
I made a booboo and my duplicity backup now have 4000 volumes of data that should not be in the backup, i forgot the exclude option for one dir. I was wondering if you can remove the last backup and if so how would I go about doing it? Seems I can remove old backups but not sure how to remove the newest backup. Note this is a inc backup set.
Thanks for any help you can provide me. :)
