Bug Description

Hi,

Trying to restore files from Nautilus gives an error "Could not restore ‘<location>’: File not found in backup".

However, restoring from terminal with deja-dup <file> has no issues. Is it possible that my symlink structure is causing issues?

$ lsb_release -d

Sorry, had to run yesterday. Here are more details about the bug.

My symlink structure is as follows:

~/Documents/backup linked to ~/backups
~/Documents/backup/git/<project> linked to ~/backups/<folder>/<project>

When I try to restore from nautilus, I use the original locations.

I'd like to print the debug output when the error occurs, but I can't figure out how to get it from within nautilus.

As stated above.
Folders are symlinked in (residing on another drive).
If you choose to restore by commandline, this fails:
deja-dup --restore-missing ~/Documents/

While this works:
deja-dup --restore-missing /mnt/hdd/Documents/

So it is not unlikely that you try the first and think that your files are gone.

This is fixed in latest development releases (41.x) by removing the nautilus plugin in favor of an in-app restore browser.

Changed in deja-dup:
