Comment 17 for bug 662442

I have run into the same problem trying to restore my backups.

The error I get is -

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried using a more up to date version, tried using an earlier version, but I get the same error every time.

Is there a way I can get the backups back ? the entire backup folder is about 165gb and most of it I'd rather no lose if possible.

I noticed there's a patch mentioned, but in all honesty I'm not sure how to apply it, so I'm willing to give that a go, if someone has an idiot proof guide on how to apply the patch.

And if there's anything else I can try I'd be happy to have a go, really don't want to lose the data.

I'm running linux mint 14 (have previously run mint and used deja dup with no issues) current deja dup version - 26.0~bzr1443.43~quantal1
