I realize that “changing from duplicity to Restic” might sound scary if you haven’t been following along on the Deja Dup side - and since Ubuntu hasn’t seen a Deja Dup update in a while, I’ll make a small note about how that works.
For a few years, we’ve had a public opt-in beta for Restic. In 49.x, we’re upgrading Restic to the default backup tool. What that means is that new/fresh backups into an empty directory will use Restic. Backups into existing Duplicity directories will continue to use duplicity. Thus we’re in drawdown phase where reliance on duplicity decreases but does not disappear. In this phase, we use both tools, depending on what the user data looks like. Hence why Debian has a Depends on Restic and also a Suggests on Duplicity. Just didn’t want you to think that Deja Dup was stranding all the existing Duplicity users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2120709 Title: latest update failed to backup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/2120709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
