Bug Description
Ubantu 16.04
Cant find out version of backup but it was loaded with distro 16.04 and all software is up to date so it should be latest
I dont know how to get the information
in 3 & 4
from the error maessage:
Failed to execute child process "duplicity" (No such file or directory)
It looks like a required file is missing
I tried removing backup and reinstalling but it still fails with the same error

Hello Steve,
Déjà Dup relies on duplicity, as a backend.
It seems to me that duplicity might not be installed on your Ubuntu. Can you provide the output of "dpkg -l deja-dup duplicity" from a terminal to check this?
Best Regards
