Comment 8 for bug 1936760

Hi sorry for the silence. It's in part because I was busy and in part because I'm running out of ideas.

OK here's one - you say this happens after a while. So maybe... some access token is expiring mid restore.

Can you try restoring smaller portions of the backup? It might finish restoring before you hit this error.

This would be easier on version 42.0 or higher because it introduced a "browse & restore" interface. You can get that by downloading the snap version again.

But even on 40.7, you can do it on the console, with restrictions. You can run something like "deja-dup --restore path/to/file" and it will restore that file in-place (I don't believe 40.7 asks to restore it to a new place, it will always restore to original location with this command line method).

If you already know the different paths to restore (like... /home/xxx/Pictures or whatever), that might be good. Else the snap version lets you browse around and restore to new folder as well.
