Linux Pro Magazine: "The D�j� Dup backup utility may not be the most powerful or flexible backup tool out there, but it does have its advantages. Its straightforward interface makes it dead-easy to configure backups, while the support for the Amazon S3 storage back-end is a boon for users looking for unlimited backup storage on the cheap."
This is the second part of the article How To Backup Your Files Using Deja Dup [Ubuntu]. If you have not read the first part, I suggest that you do so.In the first part, we discussed how to install Deja Dup and how to set up the storage location and the select the folders to be backed up.
I currently have a Deja Dup Backup utility in Ubuntu 12.04 to run scheduled backups every day but the backup never runs. The Overview tab always reports "Most recent backup: n days ago" and "Next automatic backup: Today". I can run a backup on demand no problem so as far as I can tell it's not a network availability issue or a permissions issue. It just appears not to run on schedule.
Today we talk about Deja Dup, the tool I used to make a backup of files before the upgrade of my Lubuntu at release 11.04. It is indeed a great software to create backups, but the reason for the post is not just that, a large plus of Deja DUP is its extreme ease of use, it takes a couple of clicks to configure it and save our precious documents, even “in the cloud”.
I'm trying to use Deja Dup (the default backup software) to backup some of my data. It seems to work, and the interface is simple and easy to use.
However, the backup speed seems ludicrously slow. Is there a way to improve this? htop shows that only one of my processors appears to be working (though they alternate, one will peg to 85-95%, and then the other will) on the backup.
How do I start a backup on Deja Dup. The "backup now button is greyed out. However, I have set the destination as "Netbook-Backup/Linux Backup". There is now sufficient spare capacity available.
I HAVE CRACKED IT!!!
