Backup failed with UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 27: ordinal not in range(128)

Asked by BlueT - Matthew Lien - 練喆明

Backup failed. I can't find any processing logs, so I'm not able to know which file caused the problem...

The dialog box shows:

That looks like an issue with a too-old version of duplicity.

Try the deja-dup snap for an updated deja dup and duplicity bundled together:

snap install deja-dup --classic
sudo apt purge deja-dup

Can you help with this problem?
