Comment 4 for bug 324531

OK, I found the problem. I had made a change in 7.0 that caused the SSH backend to not correctly tell duplicity the SSH password. I need better testing before a release. :-/

I just released 7.3 to fix it. That may have also fixed your 'halfway' issue, because that may have been when we stopped preparing and start backing up. That would also have run into this bug. Let me know if you have further issues.
