Comment 38 for bug 1217959

This is happening to me after after upgrading to 14.04, this worked fine before in 12.04. I have ~/.cache/deja-dup symlinked to /media/external/deja-dup-cache because the cache always gets too large to fit onto my home partition. /media/external/ is the external hard drive that I back up to.

If I remove the symlink the backup works, but it uses practically all of my home partition space.
