This is a packaging bug in Debian & Ubuntu only. It's not an upstream deja-dup issue.
They have not yet packaged pydrive, which deja-dup and duplicity need to talk to Google Drive (we can no longer use the previous method of talking to Google Drive - which was through gvfs). To work around this for now, I recommend trying the snap, which does not have this problem: snap install deja-dup --classic ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #944510 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=944510 ** Also affects: deja-dup (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=944510 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** No longer affects: duplicity ** Also affects: deja-dup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: deja-dup -- 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/1852069 Title: Failed to backup to google drive on ubuntu 19.10 Status in Déjà Dup: Invalid Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in deja-dup package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: On Ubuntu 19.10 can't do backup to Google Drive anymore with the following error message: BackendException: PyDrive backend requires PyDrive installation.
