Comment 12 for bug 982316

Hi,
I was having the same problem and I found a workaround.

I am doing backups via ssh to a server running in my network. As I am using a special user on the server I added a host config in my .ssh/config file specifying the username IdentityFile and more to ease up access to the backuped data. The host is simply called "backup" but the actual hostname is different than that. Yet with ssh I am able to simply access my backup server by doing a "ssh backup" and this is also what I am using for the backup configuration in deja dup. Server name is "backup" which gives me passwordless access to the backupserver for the deja dup backup. And this also works perfectly for manual backups. However I was always getting the "Scheduled backup delayed" message for automatic schedules.
I have now simply added an entry to my /etc/hosts with the backup server IP and "backup" as hostname. Now the "Scheduled backup delayed" is gone and all is working.

Does anyone having this problem also have a special config similar to mine?

@Michael: Maybe with this you might be able to reproduce the problem on your side.
