I agree this is the case and that it would be nice if it weren't so. But one thing that Deja Dup assumes is that it can't run code on the backend (due to support for cloud locations like Amazon S3 and Ubuntu One).
So it would involve downloading all the files, un-encrypting, re- encrypting, uploading, deleting old ones... A complicated, lengthy, error-prone thing. So while I agree this would be nice, it's not on the roadmap for now. ** Changed in: deja-dup Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: deja-dup Status: New => Confirmed -- 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/957857 Title: No way to change password for a backup set Status in Déjà Dup Backup Tool: Confirmed Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In deja-dup-preferences, there is no way to change a password for a backup set - without starting the backups again from 0.
