duplicity should use a different directory for every backup

Duplicity should use a different directory for *every* backup.

Really, this is such a mess... so many backup volumes in one folder.
Even ls *.manifest takes ages to complete over ssh.

duplicity-full.yyyymmddThhmmssZ folders should be made for every backup containing only volumes to that backup.

Furthermore, I would like to have one single central duplicity log file to see what backups went wrong and for what reason. Now. one has to manually search for signature files.

In case of an adverse backup event, an alert message on the login page and/or alert e-mail would also be desirable.

I am still learning under the hood here:

I found out that duplicity writes its log files under
/var/log/backup/admin/name_of_your_scheme
