restore duplicity backup

[MarRic]

Update...I tried 3 more times to first backup the old pc then run Deja-Dup to restore. I was not able to complete a restore from backup, I was documenting errors in a text file, but the old pc gave up the ship in the 3rd process. Either the mother board or the hard drive died, along with the text file of errors I'd saved. I do not have a hard drive enclosure with the correct cables to look at that drive and it is not worth it to me to purchase one. So Deja-Dup is a done deal for me.

I have reorganized my files back into their folders and I have 3 copies of the documents/pictures/music. One copy stays in the car so if the house burns down while I'm not home I have my files. I looked at grsync, it has a lot more options to select and since I don't understand their purpose will hold off on trying it. If I don't like having just copies and tire of keeping changed files updated in 3 locations (which will probably happen sooner rather than later, haha), I will look at it again.

I also attempted to format the drive in the enclosure from the xps13...in that process I learned it wasn't the mother board that had died, it was the ssd! So, replaced the drive, and I have a functioning XPS13 again!! Yea!! Really happy.

Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
