  Hello Mark,
  I wouldn't be asking for help if it was that kind of issue. Duplicity is there, but Duply is just not getting it for some reason.

  I used This tutorial to setup backups ... (A big thanks to the Author)
  I didn't setup encryption on the main server so "GPG_KEY=Disabled"

  On I am trying to restore these backup over to a new server. Where I am failing.
  On new server the steps are simply like

  yum install duplicity duply gpg python-boto
  duply mybackupprofile create
  nano /etc/duply/mybackupprofile/config (made it exact copy of main server)
  nano /etc/duply/mybackupprofile/exclude (again .. exact copy)
  

  There is no pre or post file. Now I am trying to restore from backup and that is where I am having issue. The restore on the same server is working fine. It's just not working on new server.

  This is my 1st attempt with Duply/Duplicity or S3 ...
  Before you ask, S3 user have full access and not restricted as in the article.

  Thanks again.

  Where is duplicity installed?

  If you manually run duplicity does it run or is it missing some prerequisite?

  [root@mwp3 ~]# whereis duplicity
  duplicity: /usr/bin/duplicity /etc/duplicity /usr/share/man/man1/duplicity.1.gz
  [root@mwp3 ~]# duplicity -V
  duplicity 0.6.22
  

  And running duplicity directly to list files from S3 bucket

  [root@mwp3 ~]# duplicity --no-encryption list-current-files s3://s3.amazonaws.com/mymw-sitebackups/main/

  Whats the name of the bucket you are restoring from?

  @Umair try with "pip install dropbox2", because duplicity look for it.

  This is not necessary unless you're using Dropbox.

  The issue is either a bad signature file, or bad bucket name.

  @MarkTuner I agree with you, just he never said if he is using other modules or not.
