[Bug 915111] [NEW] deja-dup Ubuntu One folder is unfortunately named

 

Public bug reported:

When the user chooses to synchronise their backups on their desktops via
Ubuntu One, the name of the directory they are given to keep them in is
not user friendly. While deja-dup is indeed the name of the backup
application shipped with Ubuntu, no reference is made to this anywhere
whithin either the software or documentation. I propose that this folder
be renamed 'Backups', or a variation on a theme.

I'm not sure if this issue needs to go upstream. Does anyone know if it
does?
