I'm running Ubuntu 12.10
I have backed up all my data(Home folder only) to an external HDD. Today, after a fresh OS install with the same version of Ubuntu, I can't restore my data.
The following error comes up every time I have also tried command line:
duplicity --gio file:///media/backup /tmp/restore
same error
raceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 1412, in <module>

Please help.
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and had trouble restoring a backup with either Deja-Dup or Duplicity. After two days of research and trial and error I would recommend the following steps (jump to Step 4 if you want a quick restore solution but bear in mind that the problems will be back withtout Steps 1-3):
Step 1: Try to restore your backup via Terminal with Duplicity.
If Deja Dup gives errors, open Terminal and try
duplicity --gio file:///media/backup /tmp/restore
file:/// because Duplicity expects a URL.Step 2: Fix Duplicity error(s) by upgrading to proposed version if necessary:
Upgrade Duplicity only with these commands (replace /precise with your Ubuntu version name). More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install duplicity/precise-proposed
Disable proposed repository!
Reboot and run test script again. Error should be gone!
Step 3: Check for other errors in Duplicity.
Run Duplicity again in verbose mode (you will probably still get errors):
duplicity -v9 --gio file:///media/backup /tmp/restore
Check for the following error at the start of your terminal output:
Import of duplicity.backends.sshbackend Failed: No module named paramiko
If you find that error install another package (Found here: http://www.rubenortiz.es/2012/12/11/ubuntu-no-module-named-paramiko/):
apt-get install python-paramiko
Step 4: Find and fix Deja Dup problem.
Run duplicity in terminal again:
duplicity -v9 --gio file:///media/backup /tmp/restore
AssertionError & the log tells you that some parts of your backup will be skipped because the are not accepted by duplicity.duplicity-full-signatures.20130523T142126Z.sigtar.gz.In the unfixed version Duplicity creates duplicate signature-files that lead to broken restore. I don't know which of the signature-files have to be preserved so trial an error! Info found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/duplicity/+bug/633101 and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/703142.
Sidenote: I wasn't able to upgrade Deja Dup to recent stable version. It just stayed on v22, so maybe there is a problem, too.
