I realize that “changing from duplicity to Restic” might sound scary if you haven’t been following along on the Deja Dup side - and since Ubuntu hasn’t seen a Deja Dup update in a while, I’ll make a small note about how that works.
For a few years, we’ve had a public opt-in beta for Restic. In 49.x, we’re upgrading Restic to the default backup tool. What that means is that new/fresh backups into an empty directory will use Restic. Backups into existing Duplicity directories will continue to use duplicity. Thus we’re in drawdown phase where reliance on duplicity decreases but does not disappear. In this phase, we use both tools, depending on what the user data looks like. Hence why Debian has a Depends on Restic and also a Suggests on Duplicity. Just didn’t want you to think that Deja Dup was stranding all the existing Duplicity users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debcrafters packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2120709 Title: latest update failed to backup Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in rclone package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in deja-dup package in Debian: New Status in rclone package in Debian: New Bug description: latest update to 49~alpha-1 make the backup failed. and previously backup to onedrive through duplicity and why its auto change using rclone?
