LL2.4 32 bit Back Up - newtusmaximus - 04-06-2015
Run backup (deja-dup) for the first time. Took a long time for the first run; Several hours. Not sure why so long- To back up on previous LLs versions, I have previously copied my user files direct to an external HDD and the process was reasonably quick.
i) Have I done something wrong - I did not encrypt the deja-dup .
2) Also the deja-dup folder is now taking a lot of what was the previously free disk space on my pc. Can I just cut and paste the deja-dup folder to my external hard drive to free up the disk space? Or do I have to re-run this time specifying another destination?
Quick scan of 2.4 manual I could not find instruction or Q/A on deja-dup. Have I missed them or are they still "in progress"
Thanks

Hello!
Storing your backup on the same drive you backed up may have a good bit to do with it all. Backing up to the same drive you're using is NEVER a good idea.
I'm surprised that DejaDup even lets you do that. When the drive dies (or is killed), the backup goes away with it - which is why you backed everything up in the first place...

Very True - Will repeat process to external HDD. Hope it does not take so long this time..
