Public bug reported: I had Ubuntu 15.04 and decided to make a fresh install of 16.04 instead of a double upgrade. I backed up my data (System Settings/Backup) on a usb drive and installed.
After that, I tried to restore my data, but there was no "Restore..." option available. I then ran "deja-dup --restore" from the command line. It said that there is no duplicity process running, or something along these lines. I'm sorry, that I didn't make screenshots. I installed duplicity (sudo apt install duplicity) and tried again. This time it gave me "BackendException: Could not initialize backend: No module named gi.repository". I found this question https://answers.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+question/276745 and installed python-gi. After that I was able to restore my files. I think these packages should be installed by default.
