It's no big deal to exit Déjà-Dup while it runs. As far as I can tell, whatever backup volumes were already made are kept on the backup location, and the backup will resume later, or can be resumed manually. Or at least that's what my previous experience of Déjà-Dup has been.
I don't know if the OP is still around but I see no reason to implement a "Confirm Exit" prompt, unless I'm wrong about backups resuming of course. -- 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/1437514 Title: Feature Request Déjà Dup Exit Prompt Status in Déjà Dup: Triaged Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have raged at this and this is probably a simple request, but when accidentally exiting said backup program after it was running for TWO HOURS, I wish it had prompted me so I could deny.
