Bug Description
If you start a backup and it doesn't complete successfully, either because you aborted or delayed it, or because an error occurred, you can notice that the "Most recent backup" field says "today" anyway. This seems to mean that deja-dup saves the last backup date when starting the backup instead of when completing it.
I find this very dangerous because you can believe everything is right, and yet you can lose all your recent data. Also, once people notice this, they won't trust Déjà Dup since it obviously lied in at least this case. ;-)
This is with deja-dup 27.3.1 and duplicity 0.6.22 on Fedora 20, but I can remember seeing this for ages.
