This bug was fixed in the package deja-dup - 26.0-0ubuntu1
---------------
deja-dup (26.0-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- Only use the GNOME Shell interface when actually in GNOME Shell,
not something that is merely similar, like the Cinnamon shell
(LP: #1155929)
- When testing a restore, also use a temporary directory that is
on the same partition as the include files (LP: #1159749)
- Spread default backup time around a bit, from always starting at
midnight UTC to starting between 2 and 4 AM local time
(LP: #1154920)
- Use more-aggressively-idle modes for ionice and nice if available

Bug description:
[Impact]
On the Ubuntu One File Storage API we see a big spike in the number of API
requests at 00:00Z, daily. Pretty much all of the requests at that time come
from Deja Dup/Duplicity.
This makes it more likely that users will see errors from Ubuntu One
being overloaded, like in bug 882699.
[Fix]
Due to a bug, we always were backing up at midnight UTC, rather than midnight
local time. While fixing that, I also put in code to randomly choose a time
between 2 and 4 AM (local time), rather than midnight.
[Test Case]
* Enable daily automatic backups
* Change your time zone so that it is 2AM
* Wait two hours. Deja Dup should start backing up within those two hours.
[Regression Potential]
* The only code changed was the automatic scheduler. So any regressions
would be there.
