deja-dup backup fails

Asked by Bram van Leeuwen

backup fails by unknown error
Asked by Bram van Leeuwen 21 hours ago

I tried to backup with déjà dup the home directory to an external usb-disk on a partiton formatted with ext4.
I have a dual boot machine with Ubuntu 18-04lts and Windows-10 and the external disk is a 2TB Seagate disk.

the last line I get is:
 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 37: ordinal not in range(128)

which does not inform me at all.
How can I get it working again?
