My system has 1Gb of memory and the current memory usage without Firefox and other running applications is at 320Mb. That gives up to 670Mb for duplicity and it was using around 590Mb of memory in the last test leaving 80Mb of free system momery. I guess duplicity would have used more memory if my sytem had more memory.
I consider the swapping normal in this case as otherwise duplicity would have used all the free memory in my system. The heavy swapping started when duplicity's memory usage started to grow very quickly. The sytem monitor didn't update instantly when my system started to hang but there was definitely only one duplicity process running before it. As for the exclusions, Deja Dup's manual states that both ~/.gvfs and /proc are in the default exlclusion list. Shouldn't duplicity be using that list by default in addition to user defined exclusions? The /dev isn't mentioned in the manual but it shoulnd't be an issue since I've configured Deja Dup to only back up my own 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/971665 Title: Full system backup hangs at 100% and makes the whole system very unresponsive Status in Duplicity - Bandwidth Efficient Encrypted Backup: New Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I haven't been able to make full system backups since upgrading to Precise. The incremental backups have worked but but the full backups hang at 100% and makes the whole system very unresponsive. Even moving the mouse doesn't move the pointer on the screen. The only way to continue is to wait for ages, the pointer move very little and finally the system becomes responsive for a while before it hangs again. Then I could wait again or just use REISUB to reboot. I first thought that Deja-dup would be uploading a very big file to U1 service but the last file in the upload file list is about 400kb in size so it isn't an upload issue. I have configured Deja-dup to backup my home folder to U1 weekly with at least 2 months for storing old backups. My U1 storage is currently at 85%.
