bup-import-duplicity(1) bup-import-duplicity(1)
NAME
bup-import-duplicity - import duplicity backups
WARNING
bup-import-duplicity is EXPERIMENTAL (proceed with caution)
SYNOPSIS
bup import-duplicity [-n] <source-url> <save-name>
DESCRIPTION
bup import-duplicity imports all of the duplicity backups at source-url
into bup via bup save -n save-name. The bup saves will have the same
timestamps (via bup save --date) as the original backups.
Because this command operates by restoring each duplicity backup to a
temporary directory, the extent to which the metadata is preserved will
depend on the characteristics of the underlying filesystem, whether or
not you run import-duplicity as root (or under fakeroot(1)), etc.
Note that this command will use ]8;;https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.mkdtemp\mkdtemp]8;;\ to create temporary directories,
which means that it should respect any TEMPDIR, TEMP, or TMP environment
variable settings. Make sure that the relevant filesystem has enough
space for the largest duplicity backup being imported.
Since all invocations of duplicity use a temporary --archive-dir, im-
port-duplicity should not affect ~/.cache/duplicity.
OPTIONS
