This appears to be nearly impossible, as it seems wholly unable to actually switch to the user's home dir, even if you pass it as the 'folder' in the 'Connect to Server' dialog. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): deja-dup-14.1-1.fc13.x86_64 duplicity-0.6.08b-1.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose 'Connect to Server' 2. Choose sftp, fedorapeople.org 3. Either leave the defaults, or select folder '/home/fedora/<whomever>' Actual results: deja-dup insists on always trying to write to fedorapeople's root directory. Needless to say, this fails. Expected results: Not that.

But it doesn't yet for technical reasons. Then, when you try to select the server from the combo box, you are doing just that -- it's just a standard GtkFileChooserButton. So to pick a subfolder, you need to choose 'Other...' and navigate to the folder you want *again*. Not a great user interaction, but I'm waiting for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584871 to be fixed in Nautilus before I can do something more clever.

If I copy the duplicity command line and add the directory manually then it works. Not to mention your "Not a great user interaction" describing very well the procedure of adding any kind of backup directory in deja-dup.

I have actually exactly opposite experiene ... when trying to save backups to my primary backup location (which is not $HOME on the targeting computer), I cannot set my directory (see the screencast).

And does not honour the folder setting in the bookmark-window. This is the same in Karmic Beta, Release Candidate (9.10) and Jaunty Jackalope (9.04). I guess it might be an upstream wish ?
