duplicity fails to make backup and dumps error in log

[on4aa]

Hi there,

Since recently, I am experiencing a problem with duplicity.
It fails to make a backup and dumps the following error in its log under /var/log/backup/admin/
BTW, my bubba is running the latest update.

What should I do to get my automated backups running again ???

Code: Select all

NOTICE 1

I got duplicity running again by creating a new job under a different name.
