    storage, allowing the following workflow to recover files, optionally at
    a certain time, from a long-term archive:
    1. duplicity restore --dry-run [--file-to-restore <file/dir>] [--time <time>] boto3+s3://...
    2. Start a Glacier restore process for all the listed volumes
    3. duplicity restore [--file-to-restore <file/dir>] [--time <time>] boto3+s3://...
