Ubuntu – Amazon S3 option missing in Deja Dup

11.10deja-dup

I wanted to restore my backup (created with Deja Dup on Fedora 15) from Amazon S3, but the option to set up Amazon as storage location in Ubuntu's Deja Dup seems to be missing.
I only have Ubuntu One, SSH, FTP, WebDAV, Win Share, local folder and custom location.

Am I missing some package(s), is it some bug, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong?
Uncle Google refuses to help… 🙁

You need to install the python-boto Install python-boto package.

Solved:

The upgrade to 14.04 did not install sshfs. It's not in the dependencies for deja-dup either, and so its absence led to the behaviour described.

sudo apt-get install sshfs

followed by a reboot of the notebook fixed the issue. Now deja-dup --backup called from the shell results in the backup being sent to the correct location on the server as configured.

For further information on debugging the problem see my answer to the nautilus problem.
