Comment 14 for bug 1170161

Good to see that this topic is still alive.
@jurov: I looked at your patch before starting with mine but I thought it would be a better idea to get this functionality integrated into the core functionality of duplicity. I'm currently having a workaround that works similar to your patch but in the end it's only a workaround.
@matthew: I belive that this discussion here is older than the patch you suggested. But it's always good to have more than one view to the topic :-) I can see that your patch allows for a higher degree of flexibility. On the other hand this also makes things a little bit more complex. E.g. the user will need to remember all their settings for a sucesfull restore. My solution has less flexibility but works for the purpose.

In the end I'd love to see either solution implemented in the next release. Both solutions are better than my current workaround.....

So long
