Preseed username in backup path with $USER?

Asked by Michael Zaugg (AOI)

I have to preseed the backup path of each user on a machine to /backup/$USER.
I achieved preconfiguring backups itself with *gschema.override. But there is a problem with the $USER variable defined in the backup path because it is not expanded:

[org.gnome.DejaDup.File]
path='/backup/$USER'

Is there a supported way in Déja Dup to preconfigure a backup path to /backup/$USER?

I created a bug (linked from this question) for this. You're right that it doesn't support that now. But it should!

Can you help with this problem?
