Package: deja-dup Version: 20.2-2.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have had similar problems with deja-dup in the older version on wheezy. I have large backups, and I had to restore. Due to a couple of other bugs when I initially restored it only partially restored, getting most to way through the restoration alphabetically, and did not resume, so I have not restored the last large folder in the alphabet. To get this by restoring alphabetically so that I can now get that file back, it will take ages (like 5 hours for 50GB) during which it is slowing down other tasks and making loads of noise, and is limited by the lack of space on my computer, which means I'm having to use someone elses computer for it. The alternative way I should be able to do it is to open nautilus is the folder that was failed to back up and select 'restore missing files'. However, this option does not seem to work, it spends a long time 'looking for the backups in the last month' or 'preparing and does not seem to progress to restoring. In the version in wheezy it did not even get this far, instead hanging before or whilst asking for the initial options. The frustrating this is that it did not clearly fail, it just spent a very long time not succeeding, but with no progress indicators and it would be better if it clearly failed when something is unsuccessful. Since the backup is over a month ago I am not sure that even if it did get that far there might be a design fault which would maybe prevent me from being able to do it anyway. So, four suggestions: -when it fails, clearly fail, so users are not waiting ages unsure what is going on. -if something like querying dates is taking a long time, have a progress bar so users no that something is going on behind the scenes. -mend the bug that prevents this option from working -change the design flaw (if there is one when it is working) so that more than a month ago can be restored by this method. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages deja-dup depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.18.0-1 ii duplicity 0.6.22-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.10.0-2 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.16-2 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.4-1 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.4.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.8.6-1 ii libnautilus-extension1a 3.8.2-2 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.36.0-1+b1 Versions of packages deja-dup recommends: ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.4p1-2 ii python-boto 2.10.0-1 pn python-rackspace-cloudfiles <none> deja-dup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
