[Vej <1377873@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I want to bring to your knowledge, that we (in the german-commmunity)
still see a lot of people having this problem.

If you want some reference, you can find a new theme here:
https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/datensicherung-fehlgeschlagen-was-tun
(in german).

With this bug, I can't recommend usage of Déjà-Dup for anyone speaking
german. This is very bad, because this problem is the preinstalled
software in Ubuntu and used to be the most user-friendly software in the
past.

Please set the priority and fix it or tell me, what to do against it.

Best Regards

Vej
