Bug Description
I work with Ubuntu since 6.04 and I never did backups due the lack of a simple backup tool. Backups are essential and external harddrives are cheaper than never before.
I ever thought... why can't it be that simple like with the Mac Timemachine?
So today I really learned how well Déjà Dup works...
Once configured (at best with a schedlue), it save your backups on an external storage and even reminds you, when you have to plug your harddrive for example...
Theres is annother bug report that requests to use this with ubuntu one... but this is another point...
So it would be really good if you have to configure your backup during the installation process from Ubuntu. You can there choose between a configuration on a specific location or you can skip this step. So all then the user needs to know, is when he needs to connect the device. This will him told via the libnotify...
If you compare this to other Operation Systems, this is like a essential Feature.

Solution:
- Integrate deja-dup as a dependency on ubuntu-meta.
- Integrate the configuration step into Ubiquity.
