hello. I am trying to move to a new box running at a different VPS provider. I spun up a fresh MIAB instance, but i am unable to restore the backup I made. First duplicity complains /home/user-data is not empty, and when I empty that dir it says:
Blockquote
janwillem@box:~$ sudo -E duplicity restore --force file:///temp /home/user-data/
Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed.
Last full backup date: none
Traceback (innermost last):
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/duplicity/main.py”, line 72, in dup_run

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help
