I want to be able to see the differences between two duplicity backups. I know there is the command verify but it only lists files which differ from the latest backup. If I try list-current-files with different backup dates and then doing a diff it doesn't seem to work as expected.

So how can I get a list of changed and new files between two adjacent backups?

Thank you!

The route I personally take is to dump the list of files using list-current-files, as you suggested, but then use grep instead of diff to see the differences. An example of such is below:-

duplicity list-current-files --time now "${DEST}" > /tmp/today
duplicity list-current-files --time 1D "${DEST}" > /tmp/yesterday
grep -Fxvf /tmp/{today,yesterday}

This would check the differences between the latest backup and yesterdays backup, but if you need to check two different dates you can replace now with any other accepted time.
