Re: [Duplicity-talk] Found 3 secondary backup chains + 1 Found primary backup chain

[Сергей Цаболов]

hey Edgar,

Sorry if my description is not clear.

After read some manual and see from man some parameters I found how I 
remove older backups from one month and keep what I need.

duplicity remove-all-but-n-full 2 --no-encryption --force 
file:///srv/back-rsync/srv1/duplicity/  --log-file /root/duplicity.log

And after remove collection-status is correct show what I need.
