Bug Description

From user Matthew:

"I made a backup of a directory to an external, NTFS hard drive. To test it out, I right clicked on one of the files in the original directory and hit restore previous version. Everything worked like it was supposed to except that, instead of restoring the file I had selected, deja-dup restored the entire directory, which is 30GB+. All I wanted was the single file. Do you have any Idea why it would have done this?"

I've confirmed that Deja Dup downloads the whole backup to /tmp, but correctly only overwrites the file you wanted. The bug is that it downloads everything, which is silly.

Thanks Matthew! A simple mistake in the code (one line in the wrong place) caused this. Fixed in trunk, and hopefully I can release fixes for 11 and 10 series.

This bug was fixed in the package deja-dup - 11.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
deja-dup (11.1-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Fixes some restore issues (LP: #483631 and LP: #481582)
    - Can delete old backups (LP: #325005)
    - Can cleanly handle changed hostnames (LP: #454591)
  * Drop 01_lpi.patch: It doesn't make sense to include launchpad
    integration for a non-main app (no translation page). Plus, deja-dup
    already has such links for its own upstream LP page.
  * debian/control: Update dependencies

As I commented in bug 483631, I tested this with the -proposed version and it worked for me.
