Deja Dup Restore fails: "No backups to restore"
Hello,
I posting here in case others come across this minor problem.
In my case, I backup the dejadup/deja-dup to back-up my user's home
when I tried to restore the back up onto a fresh install on the same machine I found the error
"No backups to restore"
the steps to replicate this error:
- complete a fresh installation of ubuntu
- plug a usb storage with the back-up from the previous installation
- try to restore the previous back-up
- give the directory of the previous back-up and click forward
- the Error is shown
the reason for this error seems to be the configuration of the 'Backup Tool/
the path to the location of the previous back-up *has* to be entered in the tab 'Storage Location'
then repeat the process for Restoring the back-up and everything works fine
I hope it saves others from having a 'big scare'
Regards,
