I restored the backup mentioned above on another unencrypted HD with 197 GB Space: /dev/sda1 459G 239G 197G 55% But the process failed without restoring the big file [23,7 GB (23.731.372.032 Bytes)]. deja-dup told me there is not enough disk space to proceed and ubuntu showed a message that only 650 MB are left. But ignoring ubuntus advise and using "df -h" the output show: /dev/sda1 459G 339G 97G 78%
deja-dup seems to produce an large amount of data overhead. Confused.

I choose to make a fresh install because need to encrypt data. Because of known bugs with encrypted swap I use the option to encrypte the user-directory. I had a partition with 150 GB of space and the backup is made with 7 GB free space. On the end of the partition is a big file (ca. 20 GB, may be more). dejadup restored the files nearly in the order nautilus will show the files in a tree view. So while the restore process it filled the hd with other data. when it comes to the big file deja-dup used all the space of the hd (ubuntu shows a message there is less than 750 MB) and failed with the messages that the hd had not enough space. After closing deja-dup "df -h" show 23 GB of free space for the partition. I tried to restore the directory with the big file first (choosing in nautilus context menu: "restore missing data…") and the restore process worked well.
