Labels: enhancement, fixed / solved / done

This adds Support for NETFS URLs when using duplicity so you can now backup to an CIFS or NFS share etc.

The latest Commit is needed for restore to work on Debian Testing, however it might break it for other Distributions.

Well, for me duplicity was complaining about not being able to find some Python-Module, do I commented out those Variables and it worked fine afterwards. Also my Python version is indeed 2.7 so that could be the actual problem. But so far I couldn't see any problems with not setting these Variables.

So far everything is Tested and working on my side.
@gdha Can you test the original way this was meant to work with DUPLICITY_USER, _HOST, _PROTO, _PATH and BACKUP_DUPLICITY_GPG_* etc.? Just to be sure, I don't think I broke anything.

@Lukey3332 Give me some time to setup my test cases.

@Lukey3332 I'm so sorry, but I did not find enough time to get this tested for rear-2.3, therefore, I shift to rear-2.4.

No Problem :)

@Lukey3332 Did you never had the following error?

And rear recover bails out.
In my tests with duply I used /mnt/local/tmp as temporary directory and that worked fine.

Hi,
Sorry, I was on Vacation. The Problem is that I forgot to add an check if the $BACKUP_DUPLICITY_TEMP_RAMDISK is not set, in which case it will create an Temporary Directory on the Target Filesystem (as /tmp doesn't exist yet) for Temporary Data before restore. This is what the rm wants to remove.
