Deja calls the duplicity command. Monitors the progress and checks that it finishes. Try getting the underlying command and manually calling duplicity. When I last looked at this bug duplicity was performing the backup job to completion. Backups we're ok. Just this error coming from deja. After looking at the vala code it looked like a vala async call was failing.

Unfortunately I don't know vala well enough to test this idea. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1217959 Title: 'metadata' file not found when creating backup ("Could not restore ‘/home/user /.cache/deja-dup/metadata’: File not found in backup" Status in Déjà Dup: Confirmed Status in duplicity package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Linux release: Ubuntu 13.04 64bit Kernel: 3.8.0-29-generic Python: 2.7.4 Deja Dup: 26.0 Duplicity: 0.6.21 Hi.
