Public bug reported:
Ubuntu's default "Backup" application, which I believe is actually
DejaDup or Duplicity behind the scenes, is unusable, because it provides
no progress information, and appears to either hang or drag the system
to halt as it does something. After 6 hours of waiting for the
background "duplicity" process to complete, I usually have to kill it so
I can use my computer. The process says it's using the "log-fd=N" option
to log output, but attempting to read this file descriptor with tail
fails.
If you use the "Backup" gui to initiate a backup manually, it will
display a small status window, that gives some vague status information,
but very intermittently. However, if you schedule a backup, and that
backup is due, then as soon as you open this GUI, the backup
automatically starts, and an error message is displayed showing a
"backup is already running", and it then fails to even give you any
status information at all.
