Comment 6 for bug 851771

I launch the "Backup" panel from the Ubuntu Settings application. Then I perform a backup. After the backup completes, I get a pop-up window presenting a list of files that were not backed up. The list is extensive, and includes important looking files in /boot and so forth.

In a subsequent test, I launch deja-dup from "sudo." Then I do a backup, as above. This time, the backup job completes without any warnings or errors.

It seems to me that the integration of deja-dup into the Ubuntu Settings application needs to ask for a privileged password, and then launch deja-dup with high privilege.
