Comment 2 for bug 1662824

I agree that Déjà Dup does need more developers and a second maintainer to reduce the burden on Michael Terry, who has not enough time to fix everything or even test all patches currently available.

If you would like to offer help on that feel free to start fixing bugs and join discussion on the upstream mailinglist.

I strongly disagree with the suggestion, that Ubuntu should ship without any backup software. This field is too important to exclude it from the distribution. One might consider a new search for a more reliable but still easy to use backup software instead. I have no clue if such a software exists.
