Is that the error that Deja Dup shows? "Location is not mountable on NAS drive"

Can you mount the NAS drive in nautilus?

There might be a conflict between KDE's way of mounting things and GNOME's... Can you unmount it in dolphin and then try using it in Deja Dup?

I just delete all links in dolphin, checks the active mounts by the
command "mount" (no mount to this drive active).

KDE System updated (31.10.2011), error still existing

"Backup Failed" Location is not mountable.

Error is shown also by pressing the "Back Up Now" Button.

After installing nautilus and mount the drive by nautilus, the backup
program works.

I reboot the system and checked the function again (without starting
dolphin or nautilus)

Backup program works now.

Maybe a missing lib ?

If you remove gvfs and gvfs-backends, do you get the bug back? I think those might be the missing pieces that aren't getting installed by default.

Hi,

I just uninstalled the gvfs, gvfs-backends and nautilus was removed
automatically.

The backup program run still, but suddenly it ask for a password for the
new backup ( I choose no password needed). It also did not identify
the last done backup and starts again a new "Creating the first backup.
This take a while.)

Up to now, the installation runs on my 64bit kubuntu.
I also checked the problem now on my 32bit installation, which is using
the same home folder of the 64bit version.

The program is doing backup as well, but I do not install any software
on this Installation up to now. Also the system update wasn' finished
during this time (still running).

Where is the preference file of the program ? Maybe some settings there,
which are corrected

I had the same problem, "Location Not mountable", and googling I've arrieved to this bug.
After reading I've decided to install only the package "gvfs-backends" (I had "gvfs" already installed) and surprise!!! Now Deja-dup is backing.
So I supposed that this dependecy is missing.
