Question #145784 on Duplicity changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/145784

Description changed to:
I'm using duplicity 0.6.11 and I have yet to successfully backup a
folder with it after trying multiple ways, such as local, remote,
with/without encryption, different directories. For example, trying to
backup to the extracted duplicity source files to the local filesystem I
get the following error:

[root@30AK10 duplicity-0.6.11]# duplicity full -v9 --archive-dir /tmp/archive  /tmp/duplicity-0.6.11 file:///tmp/backup

It looks like it is working at first but then it blows up after
processing random files.  Maybe this has something to do with how I
installed duplicity. At first I did 'yum install duplicity', then I
downloaded the tar from the website and did 'python setup.py install'.
So maybe it could be using some old version of files somewhere.  Is
there something I am doing wrong to keep getting these errors?

Thanks for any help.
