Sorry you were hit by this issue! But good news is that a fix is
available. It was caused by an interaction between Deja Dup and
duplicity when a single quote was followed by a space.

This was fixed upstream in duplicity 0.8.17 (and worked around in deja-
dup 42.5). Both those fixes are in Ubuntu 21.04 already, so I'll mark
this fixed in development Ubuntu.

If folks want to backport a fix to Ubuntu 20.10, this patch to duplicity should 
be all that's needed:
https://gitlab.com/duplicity/duplicity/-/commit/14f188888f9112ce98ad6b5ba5cf58a8f6927dab

Meanwhile, you can workaround this in Ubuntu 20.10 by either directly
using the duplicity commandline to restore the file or switching to the
snap version of deja-dup which has the latest fixes.

Run "man duplicity" to see how to use its commandline (it's a bit complicated, 
but can be managed).
Or "snap install deja-dup --classic" to install the latest Deja Dup.

Sorry for the trouble.
