Problem data restore

Asked by werder

Data restore does not work correct and stops always at file no 264 (duplicity-full.20150310T113341Z.vol364.difftar.gpg) of total 497 files to restore.

I receive the following error message:

Wiederherstellung fehlgeschlagen: Error splicing file: Input/output error

Can you help me. I need the data back.

Thank you in advance

That... sounds like an invalid volume file?

Try https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DejaDup/Help/Restore/WorstCase for restoring by hand without the UI. Hopefully that will help.

I have solved the problem more ore less with the following manual steps described in the link: http://blog.atoav.com/2013/09/restore-broken-deja-dup-backup-hand/

1. encrypt the files:

:gpg --multifile --decrypt duplicity-full.20110127T131352Z.*.difftar.gpg

2. unpack the archives:

for t in duplicity-full.[yournumbershere].*.difftar; do tar xf $t; done

3. Downlowd the "Duplicity_joiner.py" mentioned in the link.

4. Installing python and tk:

sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python-tk

5. Paste duplicity_join.py on Desktop and then in a fresh terminal do this:

cd Desktop
python duplicity_join.py

Then you have "only" one last step: bring the files in the former file structure by hand.

Sorry, there is a mistake in step 2 and step 3 in the above text. The correct steps are as follows:

1. encrypt the files:

gpg --multifile --decrypt duplicity-*.*.*.difftar.gpg

2. unpack the archives:

for t in duplicity-*.*.*.difftar; do tar xf $t; done

3. Downlowd the "Duplicity_joiner.py" mentioned in the link: http://blog.atoav.com/2013/09/restore-broken-deja-dup-backup-hand/

4. Installing python and tk:

sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python-tk

5. Paste duplicity_join.py on Desktop and then in a fresh terminal do this:

cd Desktop
python duplicity_join.py

Then you have "only" one last step: bring the files in the former file structure by hand.
