Re: Crontab deja dup issues

[Michael Terry <mike mterry name>]

Deja Dup can't really work from cron, it relies too heavily on the
user's session dbus.

If you're interested in doing the same kind of thing (and in a format
that deja-dup can understand), use the underlying backup tool
duplicity in cron.  It's command line is a lot more verbose, but its
man page should be helpful.
