3 Days ago, I added a smb volume to the backup.... the backup went fine apparently, today I connected the external hard drive, but it failed

I'll add the DEBUG log and the conf I got from gsettings

Did you manually add smb://modemtelecom/disk_a1/ to your list of folders to save? I think that is causing the problem. Deja Dup is getting confused by that entry (it only supports local folders).

[Dario Bertini (berdario)]

Yes, I did.

Deja Dup should warn/ignore when the user adds remote directories then

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Yeah, probably. You can't do it through the UI, so it's not a common problem. But probably good to identify them and warn.

[Dario Bertini (berdario)]

What? I did that through the UI

As long as gvfs can see the volume, you can add smb volumes to Deja-Dup just fine

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Curious. The GTK file opener dialog has two modes -- local and remote -- and we use the local one, which should not show you any mounted remote volumes.
