I have been on Ubuntu 18.04 and decided to upgrade to 20.04. I had several desktop folders and copied those to an external hard drive in a folder called Linux desktop. Yesterday I restored several of those folders. Today I was going to restore the rest and now find that everything in the folder Linux Desktop is a duplicity-inc file. I never installed duplicity and never ran it. The other folders on that external disk appear fine.
Is this a virus of some sort? Is duplicity included automatically in 20.04 and would it then run automatically? Most importantly how can I recover my data and prevent it from happening again?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jeff
