This directory grows until my "/" is full and then the restoring activity fails.
I already tried to create a symbolic link with origin another partition where I have more space. However during the restoring activity the link disappears and the original directory is still used.
Has anyone had this problem before? Anyone proposing a solution?
Settings for D�j� Dup are stored in dconf - you use dconf-edit to change or view it. I assume you are on ubuntu.
If you run the program as root, it will store all it work on the root / directory as you found out. You may want to create a user that has a different home directory, and allow advanced permissions for that user.
During the restore activity this is the cache directory that should be populated:
~/.cache/deja-dup
Instead of
/root/.cache/deja-dup
Does anybody can suggest an idea of why the wrong cache directory is being populated?
I execute deja-dup with a common user i.e. not with root.
Furthermore I tried to confirm the ownership of the "~/.cache/deja-dup" and "~/.cache/duplicity":
% sudo chown -R victor /home/victor/.cache/deja-dup/
% sudo chown -R victor /home/victor/.cache/duplicity/
