As a workaround I have removed the old backup folder and now have Deja Dup pointing to a different folder. The first backup was a full backup and everything went fine. With the previous settings I had changed the option of 'saving 6 months' to just saving the last 3 months. It was after that the error occurred and I could no longer make a backup.
The terminal command seems to have run a backup with no problems to the new directory. I had to remove the old one to make space in my backup location, and 6 months worth of backups. Sorry that I can not provide any further details now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883742 Title: Deja Dup keeps asking for password Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 11.10 The last 2 days whenever an automatic backup runs it asks me for my password, which I input.
