It's a bug in Ubuntu backup (deja-dup). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1313034

You can adjust the rights of the folders. Open a terminal and copy these commands:

sudo chown "$USER:$USER" ~/.cache/dconf ~/.gvfs
sudo chown -R "$USER:$USER" ~/.dbus

Deja Dup – How to Open Deja Dup as Root

Configure Deja Dup for your root backup: gksu deja-dup-preferences.
Run backup then with: gksu "deja-dup --backup".

At least this worked for me. (You have to configure Deja Dup for root, too, at first - next to your configuration for the "normal" user.)

As mythsmith says: "You can do that just for system folders, and still keep your home folder configured in your user account."

Backup – Why Déjà Dup Cannot Complete Backup of .cache/dconf and .gvfs

I've been able to solve my question after finding this web page. You need to update the owner and group for each file which is failing to backup. I used these commands to solve the situation.

sudo chown mjwittering .cache/dconf .gvfs
sudo chgrp mjwittering .cache/dconf .gvfs

Then run the backup again, which should now complete successfully.
