according to Gemini:
The Ubuntu Backup utility (Déjà Dup) *continues to use Duplicity for
existing, older archives*, while using *Restic for new backup
repositories*.^
How Déjà Dup handles backend selection
*
*Existing Backups (Duplicity):* Déjà Dup checks your backup
destination folder before starting a backup run. If it detects
existing Duplicity files/archives, it automatically launches
Duplicity to continue adding incremental snapshots or performing
restores.^It does *not* attempt to convert old Duplicity archives
into Restic format.
*
*New Storage Targets (Restic):* When setting up a fresh backup
location or initializing an empty folder, Déjà Dup defaults to
creating a Restic repository.^
and there is more.
