I don't know why, but the backup started working again yesterday. I did not do anything to try and fix it.
The only thing I can think of that changed on my system is that these packages were updated (from /var/log/dpkg.log): 2017-11-07 08:10:32 upgrade google-chrome-stable:amd64 62.0.3202.75-1 62.0.3202.89-1 2017-11-07 08:10:36 upgrade libssl1.0.0:amd64 1.0.2g-1ubuntu13 1.0.2g-1ubuntu13.2 2017-11-07 08:10:36 upgrade openssl:amd64 1.0.2g-1ubuntu13 1.0.2g-1ubuntu13.2 The backup worked again today. If it works again tomorrow, then that's three times and I'll call the problem fixed, somehow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729695 Title: ASCII decode error, but not due to filenames in backup target To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1729695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
