cache space

[duplicity-talk mailing list]

Dear all, 

I am new to this mail list, and I am a new user of duplicity. I like it and I use it to back up my mac via fink. 

There is a thing about  ~/.cache/duplicity:  at each backup more and more files are accumulated there 

increasing the size of that folder. I deleted all those files, but at next backup duplicity reconstruct all 

those files. 

Is it this normal? 

Thanks for the advise 

Giuliano

Hi,

This is normal for duplicity to do.  The cache space can be cleared if needed, but should only take up a small amount of space relative to the backup itself.  You can use duplicity's --remove-* commands to selectively remove backups you no longer need.  That will clear the cache as well.  The cache is used for commands like --list-current-files and others.

...Thanks,

...Ken
