After all installation done I tried to restore some files in my home folder ( .thunderbird, .remina etc...) that file restored successfully from the given list of files ...thats fine. But after 4 to 5 days I need some more files/folders which was on my desktop and in my home folder on old Ubuntu, so I tried to restore that file using Nautilus right-click option(Restore Missing Files..) to restore that files and folders... surprisingly I cant see any files/Folders to restore in "Déjà Dup" dialog-box and it says scanning finished..!!! now question is how do I restore that files/Folders? which was previously in the list but not after 4,5 days ? If you look on the hdd using nautilus or other file explorer can you see the deja dup archive files there? Colin yes its already there, Even I can restore all backup to another location and, I can see my all data intact. But Question why it does not allow me to restore a single file/folder using nautilus right-click ( Restore Missing file.. ) option ? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> OK, I misunderstood. I thought you could lost everything. Sorry I don't know deja dup well enough to help. I did not like the way the archive is stored in a rather opaque format and have now switched to backintime. Cheers Colin </pre> </blockquote> ok, thanks what do you suggest for daily/weekly scheduled data backup for a laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 ? <div class="moz-signature">-- <meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title></title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.2 (Unix)"> <meta name="AUTHOR" content="livewire "> <meta name="CREATED" content="20100413;16400600"> <meta name="CHANGEDBY" content="Livewire "> <meta name="CHANGED" content="20110817;15290400"> <meta name="CHANGEDBY" content="livewire "> <style type="text/css">  </style> */ <meta name="CHANGEDBY" content="livewire "> Jatin Khatri RHCSA RHCE CCNA <a href="http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jatin"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jatin">www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jatin</a></a> Save Paper, Save Environment.** (Plant at least one tree in your life and nurture it !!!) </div> </body> </html>
