This affects me too, though I'm not on Ubuntu this is the only bug report I could find for this issue. Added /mydocs to the backup list. In the past I have had this mounted as an external NTFS partition and accessed from Linux and Windows systems, but it's currently the same set of files copied into a root directory on my filesystem. So, it seems the lost+found directory isn't useful in my situation, yet it still causes an error report during the backup. The backup does seem to proceed normally, I got a 52Gb backup with this one message about /mydocs/lost+found output at the end.
neek@uberneek ~$ mount | grep mydocs neek@uberneek ~$ ls -ld /mydocs drwxr-xr-x. 23 neek neek 4096 Apr 17 10:10 /mydocs neek@uberneek ~$ ls -ld /mydocs/lost+found/ drwx------. 2 root root 4096 Jun 10 2011 /mydocs/lost+found/ Added /mydocs to the inclusion list and /mydocs/lost+found to the exclusion list using the "Backup" frontend in Fedora 18. deja-dup-26.0-1.fc18.x86_64 I have to presume dejadup is scanning the root dir of a directory in the list of included locations without considering the exclusion list, which is only used later when doing a deep scan for files to actually backup. My user 'neek' cannot read or list the lost+found directory so the scan fails. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of "backup finished" dialog displaying the error message." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/953194/+attachment/3722587/+files/backupfinished.png -- 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/953194 Title: deja-dup attempts to backup "lost+found" Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Deja-Dup attempts to backup */lost+found when it is present in one of the backup directories even if it is included in the exclusion list.
