@Xwarman: Please be aware that you disabled one of the major checks to
ensure a successful backup.
@all: I am wondering if this happens before or after the backup taking
place?
A more recent output of the file /tmp/deja-dup.log after running the
appropriate line below and replicating the problem might be helpful as
well. Especially because there seems to be another problem in the backup
of the original reporter. You may want to scrub the log of any
incriminating file names or details:
DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup | tail -n 1000 > /tmp/deja-
dup.log

Title:
'metadata' file not found when creating backup ("Could not restore
‘/home/user /.cache/deja-dup/metadata’: File not found in backup"
Status in Déjà Dup:
Incomplete
Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Linux release: Ubuntu 13.04 64bit
Kernel: 3.8.0-29-generic
Python: 2.7.4
Deja Dup: 26.0
Duplicity: 0.6.21
Hi. I've tried to do my monthly or so backup recently, but Deja Dup
crashed after trying to backup a very large file (VM disk with Windows
7, 50GB or so). I tried to do another one, this time excluding all my
large VM's. However, now when trying to do a backup I'm getting the
following error a few seconds after inputting my encryption password:
Could not restore ‘/home/tom/.cache/deja-dup/metadata’: File not found
in backup
I've tried reinstalling both deja-dup and duplicity, purging
duplicity, deleting deja-dup and duplicity from /home/tom/.cache,
deleting the backup files on the external drive, deleting it's config
as described here http://askubuntu.com/questions/53980/how-to-delete-
all-the-settings-for-deja-dup. I know (well, I have some evidence
supporting this) that the drive itself isn't faulty as I managed to
backup my old laptop to the drive using duplicity and it worked fine
(Fedora 19, deja dup 26.0 I think). I will upload the appropriate logs
momentarily.
