I have a full backup on external HD using Deja Dup on a Ubuntu 20.04 desktop box. I just crashed and would like to restore certain files and folders to my tiny laptop. E.g. /home/joe/Documents/Project1. I would like to restore to a different location such as ~/Documents/restored-from-server. The laptop is Ubuntu 18.04.5.
I am having trouble getting Deja dup to do this.
I click restore. Backup location = 2TB Volume (my external USB drive which contains the backup) Folder = /user/joe/Documents/Project1
I get Restore Failed. No backups to restore.
Actually, I get this error message on every folder, absolute or with ~ convention. The only thing that lets me pass if to leave it empty. And I don't have room to restore the whole thing.
How can I restore one file or folder to a different computer into a different location?
