[Bug 847033] [NEW] deja-dup causes Unity to crash when backup device isn't available

 

Public bug reported:

When the backup location is not mounted, Déjà Dup will not fail
gracefully and will cause major slowdowns and lockups on the system when
it launches automatically. (I've had to kill it by switching to tty1 and
issuing `killall -9 deja-dup deja-dup-monitor`.) This is a major
problem, especially on portable computers where a backup device may not
always be connected.
