I have been unable to find how to do this in duplicity.  We're backing up a lot of data and want to implement this retentions strategy to conserve space.

this is currently not implemented duplicity as a command but possible
indeed. simply delete all files belonging to the incrementals on the
backend.

duplicity-inc.DATE.to.DATE.volX.difftar.gpg
duplicity-inc.DATE.to.DATE.volX.manifest.gpg

consider to move files in a tmp folder, do a verify run just to be sure
and delete tmp folder only thereafter.
