No log, sorry.

If you run

 duplicity restore \
     --force \
     --file-to-restore some/path \
     proto://user@host/path /

 duplicity will gleefully begin removing everything from / on down
 in order to ensure that it can restore some/path. I found this
 out the hard way when I went to restore into /, and watched it
 take out /bin, /boot, /dev, /etc and part of /home before starting
 to belch forth godawful messages complaining about something
 going egregiously wrong.

 I was not pleased.

 I will argue that this behaviour is insane. if I'm doing a selective
 restore, it should only be deleting things that I am restoring, not
 restoring a full snapshot (maybe have a --snapshot or something option)
 as though that file were the only thing there to start with.
