Yes, since 20.04, I have not had the problem, but I thought it was due to using a linux server and smb which solved the problem.
The original problem was localized to my desktop machine and a local drive, which would fail after bootup because the dedicated backup drrive/partition was not mounted at bootup. Only after mounting the drive/partition would the backup run. This prevented the automated backup that should run shortly after the system booted up. To be clear, the backup partition and deja-dup were being run locally on a client machine. Since 20.04, I built a xigmanas server and moved the backup destination off the local machine to the server and started using smb to access the backup partition. This saved space on the local machine and further protected the backups as they are now stored on a remote server. Thanks for the reply, response and fix.
