I used Deja Dup on Ubuntu since years with an remote NFS share. Now I have a new home server, which also runs an rsync daemon. How can I connect deja Dup to this daemon instead of NFS?
I found out how to connect duplicity from the command line of the client to the remote rsync daemon:
duplicity --no-encryption testfile.txt rsync://server::module/backupfolder/
This works fine, the client gives out plausible Backup Statistics, no errors and the backup arrives on the server, so I consider my rsync server running and configured correctly and reachable by the client.
But when I put
rsync://server::module/backupfolder/
into the client's Deja Dup settings as backup location, it says after starting a backup "location cannot be mounted" or similar.
Is the URL syntax wrong?
What else am I doing wrong? Isn't Deja Dup supposed to work the same way as duplicity, since it uses duplicity?
*edit: I corrected the paths, but still no luck connecting with deja dup
