Deja Dup Restore Failed with an unknown error

Asked by Herbert Celen

I have created a daily backup using Deja Dup in Ubuntu 12.10. I have been able to restore the last FULL Backup (30 September), but am not able to restore any backup since. The process always crashes with "Failed with an unknown error" followed by a crash-dump.

I have been able to restore some individual files and folders by using the "Restore Missing Files" option in Nautilus, however I have not been able to recover the files I need most (desperately). When I attempt to do a full recovery, it always crashes on Thunderbird files (see dump below). When I try to restore individual files, the crash dump is similar but often specifying other files.

Any ideas to move forward?

A sample crashdump looks like this:

Failed with an unknown error.
