Where does deja-dup log its errors?
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?
Solution 1:
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.

Solution 2:
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.
