Déjà Dup

Failure to backup

Asked by susja

Hello,
I'm running rhel6 64 bit. Installed this tool and tried yesterday to backup my home directory and /etc. Destination is a drive on NAS device where I have write permission. This morning I realized that it backup some stuff and I have a few *.gz but it failed with the error : can't copy /tmp/.... to <destination>. This morning I tried again and it failed with this error:
**
BackendException: Could not copy /tmp/duplicity-nT4wxm-tempdir/mktemp-pv3oev-2 to ftp://<email address hidden>/vol/homes/evoldman/evoldman_Linux_Backup/duplicity-full.20110514T034938Z.vol6.difftar.gz
**
could you pls help me?
thanks

I know that Dèjà Dup does not yet have the option to schedule backup on particular time of the day but in my case my laptop is connected to destination only during working hours. Well how could I force it to run only that hours? If I start it e.g. 10 AM will it start all the time at 10 AM next day?
Thanks

For the original question, try running Deja Dup like the following:

DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup

Reproduce the problem, paste a large chunk of the output to pastebin.ubuntu.com, and report back here with a link. Also, make sure that you can manually create a file on the destination (it might be a permissions issue or out of space or something).

As for your time question, you can't really trick it to backup at a particular time like that, sorry.
