Update:... deja dup continues to ask me for my password, even though I've checked it to remember my password.
However, I think it is backing up after I give it my password. But it says it's backing up as though it's the first time. It may be that this happens only after I've moved my computer, ie so that it has been disconnected from the network for a while. Maybe something gets tripped up if it cannot find the backup target space, even if temporarily?? -- 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/989750 Title: repeatedly asks for encryption password when backing up, even though "remember password" is ticked Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've set deja-dup to back up automatically, and to encrypt files. But it never gets far: every few seconds, it brings up a "password needed" window somewhere out of sight (behind other windows; but that is another problem/feature), even though I've told it to remember the password. So using this backup software seems entirely impractical; it will never finish.
