Ahh... yes. Deja Dup just checks to see if anything is outside your home folder and then prompts if so.
Looks like the /tmp/ directory for CACHE_HOME is confusing it (because we do backup a little canary file we put in your home cache which we use to verify that the backup is functional and can be restored). So we ought to do something smarter here - either be more clever about the canary file or more clever about what we consider outside your home folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815056 Title: deja-dup is aksing for the admin password Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS with deja-dup 37.1-2fakesync1ubuntu0.1. I'm using deja-dup for backup of my home directory. I don't have sudo permissions on the machine. I have only my home in backup and all files are owned by me.
