Backup fails with Unknown Error

Binary package hint: deja-dup

The backup is being made to an external USB drive. The backup completed the first time, I did back up my files for a few days and now the backup fails with Unknown Error.

Hello, Carlos. Thanks for the bug report! Can run the following command and attach the /tmp/deja-dup.log file?
DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup | tail -n 200 > /tmp/deja-dup.log

This will let me see the exact error. So the first backup succeeded. Did you successfully complete any further backups or was this error on the second backup attempt?

This is basically the same error situation I have just discovered in Lucid on a 64-bit processor. I have attached the log file generated by the above procedure.

I removed backup folder, and re-ran as root(superuser), and I was able to successfully backup twice.
