I think that was an artifact from a cut/paste when i sent the email
originally from
a non-ale email and had to resend.  That - isn't in the original command:


duplicity full --no-encryption --volsize=5000 --exclude /opt --exclude
/home --exclude /mnt --exclude /media / file:///mnt/data1/backups/vampire
