Bug Description
I tested deja dup (13.7-0ubuntu0k
I configured deja dup to run daily but I don't have my backup target always available (disk not plugged in / NAS offline).
The problem in poth setups is, that deja dup just tries to do the backup without first checking the availability of the target: It does the preparing of the backup and then throws an error when failing to access the target to write the backup.
What about checking the availability of the target (even before doing the preparing to save resources) and in case of the target not being writeable, ask the user to either schedule the backup to a later moment or have her/him plug in the disk / switch on the NAS?
Thanks for your work!

Thanks for the bug! We check and delay the backup if you're not online, but not if the target is not readable/writable. That's a good idea though.
