Bug Description
Currently I use an NFS mounted target directory to store my home dir backup. Works very good.
However, if the network is not working properly on bootup, the target directory might not be available.
On scheduled backups Deja Dup will then create the target folder and write a full scale backup to the directory that holds the mount point.
An option that allows Deja Dup only to run if the target directory already exists would prevent that.
I'm using
deja-dup 18.1.1-0ubuntu1.1
duplicity 0.6.13-0ubuntu1
On Ubuntu 11.04
Thanks for your work!

Yeah! This would be good. The only reason I don't use "scheduled backup" is coz I backup on my portable HDD (which isn't always connected to my computer) - so I do it manually.
An important element of a good backup is a remote/offsite one. So something like this should be implemented.
