Hello everyone. This is related to bug #804170 but goes even further. instead of preventing to run backups only if the "hard-to-detect sometimes- directories" are available it requests to make them available.
This would be a new feature. ** Also affects: deja-dup Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: deja-dup Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: deja-dup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: deja-dup Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: deja-dup (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: deja-dup Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Tags added: needs-design -- 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/1761216 Title: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted Status in Déjà Dup: Triaged Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have set my backup destination to a separate drive in the machine, but not at the default location. When the backup runs, it fails stating permission denied, as the destination drive is not mounted. When I enter the proper destination in the backup at the "storage location", the drive then mounts and is present on the desktop. Then the backup will run successfully. I then "unmount" the drive using the menu on the drive icon, and the mounted drive disappears from the desktop. I don't need a bunch of drives listed or shown on my desktop, as it detracts from the beauty of the screen. If I mount the drive before running the backup, it will succeed. My point with this is that I am not going to mount the drive every time I run backup, and when mounted, I don't need it listed or shown on my desktop. In unity, the drives appeared in the launcher or dock, and there was an option to "remove from launcher", which still left the drive mounted, but off the desktop and launcher. This was a nice way to fix this problem.
