Restore single file option not available

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DejaDup/Help/Restore/Revert

That page has some instructions. We are hoping to make this more obvious (in-app) in the future.

Hello,

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and have the same problem.
It was initially available, I did a test run immediately after my first complet backup.

All of a sudden it dissapeared, probably after an update.
The rest of deja-dup works fine, does daily backups and can do a complete restore.

Only the context menu entry for files and folders is missing.

This is working for me from the context menu @mterry
It will only work from the 'Files' app (Nautilus/GNOME), not other file managers.
This does not include the Desktop directly, only through a file manager window.

Thanks Michael Terry, that solved my question.

@Andrei I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and it works here.

@Zeca, I know it works. It worked for me also in the beginning.
I think one of the updated broke something but without any debug messages, I can't do anything.

Reopen for @Andrei issue

Hello. Let me try to understand the issue Andrei:
- Deja Dup is mostly working (you can backup and do a full restore)
- You used to be able to do single-file restores from the file manager
- But now you can't

I'm not sure why that would happen all of a sudden like that. Is your version of Deja Dup 40.6 or 40.7? Those *should* have the integration with Files still supported.

Note that when you upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04, you will get a newer version of Deja Dup (42+) that drops the file manager support and instead adds an in-app browse and restore interface that is hopefully a little easier for folks to find.

But back to your problem. I'd suggest two options:
1) Use the terminal. Open a Terminal window and type "deja-dup --restore path/to/the/file/you/want/to/restore"
2) Install the snap package, which will give you the latest released version and you'll have the in-app browser then. You can do this with "snap install deja-dup --classic"
