Re: [Question #248111]: Duplicity Adds the same file again after full backup

 

Question #248111 on Duplicity changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/248111

Rodrigo Alvarez gave more information on the question:
The test gave a negative results.

I created a set of ~150,000 files, all small text files, and mostly hard
linked copies of the same file.  Then I ran a duplicity backup, a verify
and a 2nd backup.  The 2nd backup did not re-add any additional files.
This does not support the theory of a python array capping ~92000 files.

I will try creating the same set with longer file names to push python's
memory footprint but it seems a shot in the dark.
