Auto backup failed on ubuntu 20.04

What is your backup storage location? Is it an encrypted removable drive by any chance?

The drive is an extra 500GB that I was using for backup only. Like said,
if I tell it to backup now, then it backs up to this drive with no
problems but if the auto backup tries to do it, then I get the error.

Hmm, OK first thing is to try the newest release. It might have a fix for this issue in it.

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

Then log out and log back in again. That will swap out your current version from Ubuntu for the newest one from the snap store. Hopefully that will fix this?

Yesterday I logged out then back in. Today same problem. Sorry. I also
power down each night.

I did all that and the backup failed.

Can you file a ticket here? https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/deja-dup/-/issues/new?issuable_template=Help%20Request

Providing the requested debug info should help me understand what's happening here. Thank you for your patience.

I don't understand about filing a ticket. I gave it a try and I needed a
password ??

Here is a photo of the error I get every day.

Ah right, the site I suggested you file a ticket requires a different login, sorry.

OK, can you post the "Debug Information" you see if you go to the About menu, click "Debug Information" and then click the copy button and paste it here? Do that after reproducing this issue, and the information should contain the logs from the error.

Michael;

My backup is working now. You can close out the ticket.

Yesterday I did a format on my backup drive; However, I had done that
before. Then, in the evening, Ubuntu did a system update. After that the
system did an auto backup with no errors.

Thanks for your help.
