This is partly a design flaw in duplicity, partly a fault of deja-dup. See upstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423145
When restoring, Duplicity keeps lots of files open, as it patches each of them from its incremental volumes. Since Deja Dup makes long chains of incremental volumes, this can become too many. A workaround is to increase the open file limit, like so: ulimit -n 4096 Deja Dup 11.0 will make this better by making fresh full backups occasionally. This will be out in a few weeks, I hope. Until then, try the workaround... -mt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
