When I try to back up with Deja dump it says: Backup failed and under: Failed with an unknown error.

[Nicola Biscardi]

It says backup failed, failed with an unknown error after few seconds that it starts saying "preparing..."

The file /tmp/deja-dup.gconf is not there

the file ?tmp?deja-dup.conf after running gconftool-2 --dump /apps/deja-dup > /tmp/deja-dup.gconf

says
