Bug Description

Bug cause: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1044715
Question: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/658653

Hi team

I have used the duplicity for backup my server files from few months before. And It was working fine. Currently I have upgraded the duplicity new version(0.7.14), after upgraded the backup manifest cache file written in large size(near to GBs) due to bulk delete or changes in files.

It was stopped the next backup process with this error - "OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory".

Please help me on this. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Herewith I have placed the logged error information for your reference.

Could someone try the new version and let me know if it helps? Thanks!

* Release tarball Install - https://launchpad.net/duplicity/+download
* Daily duplicity builds - https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/+archive/ubuntu/daily

NOTE: UNinstall duplicity first if it was installed via the distribution repository. For Ubuntu, that would be "sudo apt-get purge duplicity".

It may be that you have too many incrementals. Did you start a new full
backup?

It's already a reported bug/nuisance. Your backup was finished at that
point.
