$ dpkg -s deja-dup | grep 'Version'
Version: 27.3.1-0ubuntu1
I set deja-dup in order to:
- use an external drive of 500GB
- keep the backups at least 6 months
- backup daily
In the GUI it says clearly: "Old backups will be kept for at least six
months or until the backup location is low on space".
Today after I think 6 months from the first backup deja-dup said it was doing a
"fresh backup" to avoid corruption.
Then after some time it failed because there was no space left.
I closed deja-dup and checked the drive trough nautilus and with my big
surprise the drive was completely empty!
Deja-dup removed the entire previous backup!
That's really, really bad!
