Thanks for this reply ... I should have said that the USB drive I
mentioned (/run/media/awood/7160-75C1 ) was previously a bootable USB
and partitioned as such. This leads me to wonder if I can simply rename
the volume (is that the correct term?) to the previous name and then use
Duplicity? But what's the parameters for a restore on this USB with this
name?
Thanks for your help and assistance.

I had a USB flash drive which I backed using Back-ups (Duplicity) on
Fedora 31. The USB volume was called /run/media/awood/7160-75C1
I then used the same USB flash drive to create a Fedora 32 Live Image on
it. After this, the USB volume was called
/run/media/awood/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6
How do I restore the contents of the USB flash drive so that it has the
same contents as the /run/media/awood/7160-75C1 ??
You need to reformat it with the original filesystem id. Open a
terminal and use "fdisk -l" to make sure you have the right device. I'm
going to assume the drive is /dev/sdb and only has one partition. Make
sure it's unmounted by running:
umount /run/media/awood/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6
Don't click the eject button because that will also disconnect it from
USB. Then run "sudo mkfs.fat -i 716075C1 /dev/sdb1". Replug the device
and it should come up as before.
