Why doesn't Deja Dup complete the backup?

  • 772

Deja Dup doesn't complete its backups anymore. When it runs, under "Details" I see it stucking at a certain file each time.

I started it out of a Terminal, and this is the message I see appearing then again and again:

** (deja-dup:13477): DEBUG: DuplicityInstance.vala:196: Running the following duplicity (13922) command: duplicity 'remove-all-but-n-full' '3' '--force' 'file:///media/backup/back1110' '--gio' '--verbosity=9' '--gpg-options=--no-use-agent' '--archive-dir=/home/jod/.cache/deja-dup' '--log-fd=19'

This is the CPU-Graph from System Load Indicator, you see the process cycle clearly. Like this, it run the whole night throgh, so there is an error.

In Deja Dup it switches between "Cleaning up ..." and "Preparing ...".

Two days ago everything worked fine.

How can I force Deja Dup to complete the backup? Maybe removing a logfile helps?

    Everything worked fine again after deleting the folder in .cache/deja-dup.

    rm -r ~/.cache/deja-dup/*

    It is safe to do this.
