Deja dup backup fails












0















Backing up using Deja Dup to an external drive is failing, it used to work fine.
Last backup was 43 days ago. When I attempt to backup, Deja Dup decides to do a full fresh backup not incremental.
At some point it reports Backup failed. "Failed with an unknown error",
and gives the call stack below.
I've tried this 3 times but get the same result.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.10.

  • Is there enough room on the drive for an additional full backup?
