Public bug reported:
Testing Oneiric alpha on an upgrade from Natty and am trying to
configure Deja-Dup. It /appears/ to be working, but I have zero
confidence that it has ever successfully performed a backup because the
interface seems very buggy.
In the screenshot backupInTaskbarAfterAutostart.png I am showing that
Deja-dup has automatically started running shortly after turning on my
laptop. The icon appears, but when I click the icon to bring focus to
the desktop the application seems to silently crash because the icon
simply disappears.
But what I view as a larger problem is that when I then manually launch
Deja-Dup it reports that a "Most recent backup" was performed 7 days ago
and the "Next automatic backup" is scheduled for "Today". The problem is
that I have no confidence that the 7-day old backup was actually
completed successfully because I recall it stopping short again because
I attempted to interact with the program after it had auto-started, just
like I described above. From a user-perspective I am not aware of a
method to look and assure myself that any full backup was EVER completed
"Successfully", which is extremely important to me since I plan to do a
fresh reinstall of Oneiric once I know I have all my info protected. I
can't seem to locate a logfile either, but in my opinion a user
shouldn't have to go digging around in /var/log to determine if the
backup solution is healthy or not.
This may fall under a separate bug report but the button Backup Now is
grayed out and does not allow me to initiate a backup (see screenshot
buttonsGrayedOut.png). Maybe that's because the scheduled backup is
actually already running? A casual user has no way to know.
