New question #659659 on Duplicity:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/659659

I have a backup that is missing the manifest and only has a sigtar.part file. On systems running duplicity 0.6.18, I can run list-current-files on the backup location, and it spews out a list of all the files in there. However, if I run a restore for any of those files, or try for a full restore, this the error I get at the end of the output:

Warning, found signatures but no corresponding backup files
Warning, found incomplete backup sets, probably left from aborted session
Last full backup date: none

    raise CollectionsError("No backup chains found")
CollectionsError: No backup chains found


I didn't make this backup, but I'm told it did successfully complete. I don't know why the signature and manifest files are missing.

Is there a reason duplicity can list the files but not restore them?

thanks!
