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.
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'm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 and today was my first attempt to use Deja Dup for data backup. My choice was based on the fact that Deja Dup is the most acclaimed one among all the backup tools available for Ubuntu.
As a test drive, I'm trying to backup approximately 4 GB of files to a local folder instead of Ubuntu One or any other cloud service.
Hello Ubuntu Community and Ubuntu Developers of Ubuntu and Deja Dup app:

Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) have a backup software installed by default – Deja Dup. Deja Dup is a simple, robust and automatic backup tool that will allow you to backup your files to local or remote location (such as Amazon S3), in a couple of clicks.
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!!!
A reboot is required after setting up the backup. Why is it not stated anywhere
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.
