I backed up my home directory with deja-dup, installed Ubuntu 13.04, and attempted to restore the files, but after chosing the date of the backup to restore and chosing the location where to put the files, I get a "Failed with an unknown error" message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

librsyncError: librsync error 103 while in patch cycle

I tried to restore earlier backup points, but all of them fail. I installed Ubuntu 12.10 again and tried to restore from there (to have the same version of deja-dup etc.), same problem. Any ideas how I could rescue my data? By now, I'm pretty desperate.

Possibly you are not selecting correct folder (as I was). Try>> Is it possible to restore only one directory with the backup utility?

Apparently the "/home " directory is not possible in deja dup but the /home/user is available.
