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.
