I have setup a Google Cloud Storage bucket for my Duplicity backups. The bucket has a retention policy of 1 year. Today Duplicity got interrupted while doing the backups, and now, every time I want to run a backup, it tries to delete the aborted backup:
Attempt of _do_delete Nr. 2 failed. ClientError:
An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the
DeleteObject operation: Access denied.
How can I just leave the aborted file stub (can't be deleted due to retention) and let Duplicity start a new backup anyways?
----
### Workaround if the bucket retention is not locked
* Remove bucket retention and let Duplicity have "Storage Object Admin" access to the bucket.
* Rerun Duplicity.
But I'd prefer a solution that works even if the destination is read only / WORM.
