Package: duplicity
Version: 0.6.18-2
Severity: wishlist
Duplicity can use large amounts of resources when restoring files (see bug
#676840). In extreme cases this can cause backups to become practically
unrestorable. Apparently such long chains are not officially supported.
However, this is not mentioned in the manpage, /usr/share/doc/duplicity nor
the duplicity website, so a user is likely to be unaware of this until the
first time a restore operation fails. Some sort of "best practices" document
would be nice, and there should also be a mention on the manpage. If
possible, duplicity could warn after an incremental backup if the backup
chain is about to become so large that the available resources make
restoration difficulty.
