Bug Description

After some hours, deja dup fails every time on backups with the error:

   Could not restore ‘/home/user/.cache/deja-dup/metadata’: File not found in backup

I do not understand this, and am not clear how far it has gone successfully. I would like it to finish with "Success" or a link to some help or a fix.

Is there a workaround? Maybe blacklisting this file in the backup-settings?

I have the same problem.. I've tried the instructions to reset deja dup completely, have reinstalled it, excluded $HOME/.cache from the backup and it still occurs.
