Deja Dup

[bitsofme]

Hi All,

I hope someone can help.
I have a few questions about Deja Dup backup.

1. In the preferences you can set up a weekly backup but does Deja Dup need to be open all the time for this to run?

I have looked for a service in system-config-services and in crontab for me and the root user but can find nothing that would run a backup.

2. Does the backup create any notifications backup complete or fail?

I have looked in the /var/log/ folder but can find no log file for Deja Dup.
No email notifications to me or root.

Not a big fan of a program that does not generate any feed back especially a back up program.
I would not like to rely on a backup that might fail without me knowing about it.

I hope someone can put my mind a rest.

With no answers to this I decided to drop deja dup and went with Amanda.

Regular backups to Amazon s3 emailed reports of problems and completion of backup and I get to schedule my back up so that my dsl connection does not get swamped when I am trying to use it.
