The bup saves will have the same timestamps (via \f[C]bup save --date\f[R]) as the original backups. .PP Because this command operates by restoring each duplicity backup to a temporary directory, the extent to which the metadata is preserved will depend on the characteristics of the underlying filesystem, whether or not you run \f[C]import-duplicity\f[R] as root (or under \f[C]fakeroot\f[R](1)), etc. .PP Note that this command will use \f[C]mkdtemp\f[R] (https://docs.python.org/2/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.mkdtemp) to create temporary directories, which means that it should respect any \f[C]TEMPDIR\f[R], \f[C]TEMP\f[R], or \f[C]TMP\f[R] environment variable settings. Make sure that the relevant filesystem has enough space for the largest duplicity backup being imported. .PP Since all invocations of duplicity use a temporary \f[C]--archive-dir\f[R], \f[C]import-duplicity\f[R] should not affect \[ti]/.cache/duplicity. .SH OPTIONS .TP -n, --dry-run don\[cq]t do anything; just print out what would be done .SH EXAMPLES .IP .nf \f[C] $ bup import-duplicity file:///duplicity/src/ legacy-duplicity \f[R] .fi .SH BUP .PP Part of the \f[C]bup\f[R](1) suite. .SH AUTHORS Zoran Zaric , Rob Browning .
