[Question #668404]: Does duplicity modify atime?

My data resides on a SSD and — thanks to Write Amplification — any modification of an atime will result in not only the inode being modified, but the whole block that it resides on being erased and rewritten. That is, obviously, undesirable.

When Duplicity backs up files, does it modify the atime attribute of the source files in the process?
