[Question #221509]: Roles of the manifest and signature files

 

New question #221509 on Duplicity:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/221509

Good morning,
I'm using duplciity to perform a backup to S3 and am now considering to use the Amazon Glacier option as this could save quite some money....

I just notided however that if I'd put a rule on the S3 bucket to archive the content to Glacier this will not only affect the data itself but also the manifest and signature files. 

So I was wondering whether you could provide me with any information on the role of those files. Specifically I' like to understand under which circumstances duplicity will do a read of those files on the remote side (as this would not longer be possible if the data is archived on Glacier).

Thanks a lot for your support!
Nils
