It's been six years and this issue remains a considerable problem. After two years of using Deja Dup on 3 machines I have 2000-5000 files in each backup folder, because each file is only 25MB. Managing such a number, e.g. deleting old files manually, is a nightmare.
Please add this option, or increase the default size. 25MB is tiny as of 2021. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380996 Title: File size for backups not user-defineable Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 deja-dup: Installiert: 30.0-0ubuntu4 Installationskandidat: 30.0-0ubuntu4 Versionstabelle: *** 30.0-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Deja-Dup still has file size for backups hard-coded?!? but not user-defined. It is allways good to have a standard that fits for most user, but the ability to define custom sizes for file size in backup without having to rewrite the whole program would be nice. Please make the filesize for the backups an option in settings tab.
