Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set storage location of deja-dup to an encrypted external drive.
2. Schedule an automatic backup (i.e., every day).
3. Make sure the external drive is _not_ connected when the scheduled time comes.
4. Connect the external drive and enter the encryption passphrase.

Backup won't start unless the user manually launches deja-dup.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
deja-dup 37.1-2fakesync1

Thank you for this report! We were indeed not noticing when encrypted drives got plugged in. Should be fixed in 42.3.
