I use duplicity to backup some files. I'm now trying to restore to my Mac to test the backup, but get the following error:
> duplicity me@backupserver.io/backup_dr ~/restored_files
Max open files of 256 is too low, should be >= 1024.
Use 'ulimit -n 1024' or higher to correct.
So I try:
sudo ulimit -n 1024
And it seems fine, then run:
> ulimit -a
...
open files (-n) 256
...
How do you actually get the limit to change? I've Google'd with no luck :(
