Thank you,

this program is awesome. 👍

thanks for this Antonio, got back two months of work with this script!

This is really awesome! I wish I could give 100 stars to this script.

please teach me how to use this! the website is no longer available

I haven't used this script in a long time so best to consult this snapshot of the original website https://web.archive.org/web/20160506043217/http://blog.atoav.com/2013/09/restore-broken-deja-dup-backup-hand/

Just came acros this as I attempt to repair my own borken backup. The codebase didn't work with Python3, so I copied this code and created a repo here: https://github.com/joelgraff/duplicity-stitcher.git

@joelgraff brilliant, thank you!
