Currently, the backup fails with an error (see below). I have been seeing the error since 20th February 2014 - last successful backup was on 13th February 2014. I haven't changed any settings in Deja-dup or in my Ubuntu One account. There is plenty of space left in my Ubuntu One account. Signing on to Ubuntu One also works. File syncing does NOT WORK, however.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: It seems others have the same problem, see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/423560/backup-failed-select-for-update-in-a-read-only-transaction http://askubuntu.com/questions/423653/deja-backup-backup-failed-select-for-update-in-a-read-only-transaction EDIT: Probably simply an Ubuntu One problem, if a comment here is credible: http://askubuntu.com/questions/424109/ubuntu-one-no-more-syncing The next comment to the previous question makes a valid point, however: "Thank you for the news, but why don't we get this information directly from Ubuntu One? The Ubuntu One Service Status (wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Status) doesn't mention any problem."
