Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
Yes, since 20.04, I have not had the problem, but I thought it was due to using a linux server and smb which solved the problem. The original problem was localized to my desktop machine and a local drive, which would fail after bootup because the dedicated backup drrive/partition was not mounted at bootup. Only after mounting the drive/partition would the backup run. This prevented the automated backup that should run shortly after the system booted up. To be clear, the backup partition and deja-dup were being run locally on a client machine. Since 20.04, I built a xigmanas server and moved the backup destination off the local machine to the server and started using smb to access the backup partition. This saved space on the local machine and further protected the backups as they are now stored on a remote server. Thanks for the reply, response and fix.

OK, then yah, I suspect the change I recently made should fix this: deja-dup now checks fstab and mounts the target location before a backup starts.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
Yes, it is listed in fstab and yes, I entered the path as a local storage device. All drives are SSD's connected to the computer's internal SSD ports and seen as local. The server is running XIGMANAS with SMB shares for each of the SSD's. I am not running SAMBA server. The local OS is Unbuntu 20.04 where the backup app is running and will not work if the backup drive partition is not mounted first. I can get to it by using a combination of IP address and share name, i.e. "smb:192.168.15.1/Backup Drive". Hope this helps.

How is this other drive configured? Is it an entry in fstab? And you were entering its path as a Local Folder storage location? If so, we didn't previously do anything special about mounting fstab entries for you. But I just added some code to try that.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1761216] Re: Backup fails if backup destination is not mounted
I have not found the bug you describe to be true. Work-a-round. If you mount the backup destination before the scheduled backup begins, everything is fine and the backup runs without error. If you don't mount the backup destination before the scheduled backup, it will fail, with destination does not have permissions. The permissions on the backup destination are correct in my case. It's just a matter of having the destination partition for backups available by mounting it first. Granted, it seems to be a deja-dup bug, but more to the point, it's an OS system bug because the OS does the mounting, not deja-dup. Deja-Dup just makes an OS system call for the partition, which gets passed to Deja-Dup, but gets no reply from the OS system to mount the partition or have the partition mounted at system startup. If the OS mounts the partition at system start-up, Deja-Dup will perform as expected. I have tried "through system startup" to have the destination partition "auto-mount" at startup, and this works, but no reply to deja-dup is received. It is not a "hard-to-detect-sometimes-directories", but a OS system bug as Deja-Dup does not get the appropriate command to mount the destination partition, or does not reply to the OS system to mount the partition. Be well.
