I tried working around this problem by creating a folder
/someotherDisc/dejaDupCache and then symbolic linking ~/.cache/deja-dup
to it. This works for some time. The folder grows beyond the size of the
space available on the "original" filesystem. But some time during the
backup-process the link is removed and a new folder ~/.cache/deja-dup is
created which again has too little available space

This makes deja-dup unusable for me

Title:
  Say "No space left on target" while it's in the cache folder that the
  problem is

Bug description:
  The problem is that I get the message "No space left on me DD" where "me DD" 
is the name of my backup folder on my NAS.
  There is still 1.9 T free space on that NAS.

  I can see it when running:  gvfs-info -f smb://user@diskstation/backup-profil/
  attributes:
    filesystem::size: 2948732551168
    filesystem::free: 1929174245376
    filesystem::type: cifs
    filesystem::readonly: FALSE
    gvfs::backend: smb-share

  When I checked the problem was that there was no space left on my home
  folder and after I did a little bit of cleaning it looks like the
  backup process could go on.

  The message here is wrong and there is no easy way to know if we have enough 
space in our /home, /tmp or backup destination.
  Isn't it possible to give some kind of rough estimation to the user.

  Thanks.
