I enabled the built-in Backup feature in Ubuntu 16.10, but it doesn't work.
I get this error:
Failed to execute child process "duplicity" (No such file or directory)

This is a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1641423
Duplicity is not installed. Executing
sudo apt-get install duplicity
will fix that.

1Be aware that apt-get gives you version 0.7.06 of duplicity on Ubuntu 16.04/16.10. This version has an issue that can cause your backups not to run. For details see bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1320641. I believe the answer given here is still correct. (An alternative would be to install duplicity outside of apt-get, which has its risks as well.) Just given the possible impact of this bug I thought it's good to mention. Aug 20, 2017 at 6:18
Had to install duplicity following python-gi
sudo apt-get install duplicity
and
sudo apt-get install python-gi
