bup-import-duplicity - import duplicity backups
bup-import-duplicity is EXPERIMENTAL (proceed with caution)
bup import-duplicity [-n] \<source-url> \<save-name>
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 mkdtemp
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
,
import-duplicity
should not affect ~/.cache/duplicity.
