You are right. There was some thing wrong with python-minimal. After reinstallation deja-dup started backup. Thanks.
Is it possible that one of the python patches had pemoved link to python2? Now it has proper link. unim95@ubuntu-BitFenix-Prodigy:~$ ll /usr/bin/python2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 апр 16 2018 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7* -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871763 Title: Duplicity is not working Status in Duplicity: New Status in python-defaults package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Duplicity is failing to make backup.

Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server.
