Duplicity (launched via Deja Dup) reports unknown error when trying to restore home directories after system upgrade from 32 bit 12.10 and reinstall of 64 bit 12.10.
Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz × 2 in ASUS P5E3 Pro motherboard. Newly-installed 64-bit 12.10 on 500Gb disk with lvm. No other errors reported on install.
USB connected backup volume containing home directories - I chose the 'restore to same location' option in Deja Dup
Duplicity version 0.6.19
Python 2.7.3
Ubuntu 12.10
Linux ext4 target (with lvm)
I have logged this as a possible bug in launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1162209
Seem to be others who have experienced this too...

Anyone else? Comments?
As an alternative to this I still have another HDD with most of my data on it that came from the 32-bit predecessor machine. I plan to do a copy across of home and all the user data in it. Is there anything I need to be careful of when I do this? At some point I'll need to get the restore problem fixed, however, or I will have lost the rest of my data, unless I go back to 32 bit, where the restore should still work... but that would be a pain.
Thanks,
Nick
