So. After Ralph's detailed help, Deja Dup Backup can now see and list
all the backups that there ever were. What it cannot do, at the moment,
is actually restore the files in my /home directory because it issues
the error:
Restore '/home/terry/.config' is not empty or is current_dir. Will not
overwrite.
Biting the bullet, I copied my /home directory to /home/terry_backup and
tried again. Unfortunately in my running system, .config is
continuously being updated so I get the same error.
Should I restore the backup to another dirstory and then copy it over
/home later, or will this also give me problems?
