How can I restore backup configurations of deja-dup?

I formatted my Ubuntu machine and I forgot to copy the old configurations.

    Sorry, but what configurations? If you didn't backup the configurations, how you expect to recover them?

  • I was using Areca as a backup solution; It has import/export workspace feature (configurations) while I didn't see this kind of feature in deja-dup so I supposed it stores the configurations somewhere in the backup metadata.

The configuration of deja-dup is stored in ~/.gconf/apps/deja-dup/%gconf.xml (thats a hidden directory in your home directory). I am certain that this file got backed up too.

  • ~/.gconf/apps/deja-dup/%gconf.xml is incorrect path... see the result of ls mbnoimi@mbnoimi-pc:~/.gconf > ls -Rh .: desktop ./desktop: %gconf.xml gnome ./desktop/gnome: %gconf.xml url-handlers ./desktop/gnome/url-handlers: chrome ftp %gconf.xml http https ./desktop/gnome/url-handlers/chrome: %gconf.xml ./desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp: %gconf.xml ./desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http: %gconf.xml ./desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https: %gconf.xml mbnoimi@mbnoimi-pc:~/.gconf >

  • @mbnoimi that looks strange - here the output is much longer - please look at (and post) the output of find .gconf -iname "deja*".

I found the missed configuration file in:

~/.config/dconf/user

Thank you guys for help.

~/.gconf/apps/deja-dup/%gconf.xml No longer available in Ubuntu
