I configured Deja-dup to make a daily backup of my whole data drive. Now I get an error message each time, telling me, that not all files could be backuped. But i cannot find any Deja-dup logs in /var/log
nor in the syslog. Where does it display the missing files?

It seems that it doesn't really save them anywhere, but if you run it with the environment variable DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1
you can get all the information that way.

Now that is some verbose output. The log file has >500MB for one run of deja dup. My solution is now to run the command manually again and check the gui output.– RaffaelSep 24, 2012 at 9:36

DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup
seems to work to get output to console (it should be possible to redirect it wherever desired), thank You, but I think it's worth mentioning, that the application should de closed before running it.killall deja-dup
should help (maybe alsokillall deja-dup-monitor
could be required).– kcprAug 26, 2021 at 7:21
In Deja-Dup on Ubuntu 16.04 (default Backup app installation), there are limited log files in ~/.cache/deja-dup/
. It looks like only fairly basic information is stored by default.
