Public bug reported: ## Context
I recently made a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal ## Objective I finished a long-standing project to properly automate my backups. I designed my solution when I was much less experienced, and it was built from low-level building blocks rather than using a robust and supported solution. Following my old design was a mistake on my part. ## Feature request Ubuntu should prompt on a fresh install to set up automatic backups using Déjà Dup. This is the default backups manager, but I was not aware that Ubuntu/GNOME/Déjà Dup had made this feature as easy to use as it had. Adding this prompt would help all users of Ubuntu follow best practices around backups. ## Debug info ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: ubiquity (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-26.30-generic 5.4.30 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-26-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon May 4 16:43:20 2020 InstallCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed maybe-ubiquity quiet splash --- InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-27 (6 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) SourcePackage: ubiquity Symptom: installation UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal ubiquity-20.04.15 ** Description changed: ## Context I recently made a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
