A recent update resolved this issue, but I'm not sure which package corrected it. I applied them all in a batch and noticed later that the backups started working again.

Ubuntu release $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Release: 20.04 2. Package Version $ apt-cache policy deja-dup deja-dup: Installed: 40.7-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 40.7-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 40.7-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 40.6-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 3. What I expected to happen Configure an SMB share as the network location to save my backups. I am using the same share that works with the Gnome File manager. 4. What happens instead: I get a permission denied error when trying to use a SMB share as the storage location. This share is mountable and read/writeable through the same path when accessing it with the Gnome File manager. Its unclear from the error what causes the failure or what I should be doing differently. I set the path to smb://mycloudex2ultra.local/bkup/, the folder to deja-dup and enter the correct username, domain, and password in the pop up dialog. Running with DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 shows the path as DUPLICITY: .
