Release notes 

Déjà Dup 11.0 is now available!

This release's focus is occasionally making fresh backups in order to protect against data corruption, reduce the bandwidth and space needed when restoring, and allow deleting old backups when no longer needed.

Since fresh backups can increase the time needed for a backup, Déjà Dup now supports resuming from an interrupted backup. Just let a backup run in the background and forget about it. If you log out, it will resume next time you log in.

Déjà Dup will wait for a network connection during scheduled runs and pause itself if the connection is interrupted.

And as always, plenty of spit, polish, bug fixes, and translation updates.

Changelog

Features:
 • Allow deleting old backups past a certain date (e.g. 3 months ago)
 • Will create fresh full backups occasionally to avoid backup corruption
 • Support resuming an unfinished backup
Bug Fixes:
 • Support duplicity's native gio handling, fixing some remote connection bugs
 • Don't start an automatic backup if no network connection
 • Don't ask for encryption passphrase twice during restore
 • If a hostname mismatch occurs, allow the user to decide what to do
Polish:
 • Allow turning on automatic backups after a successful manual backup
 • Make backup chunk sizes much larger, as fewer files are easier to deal with
 • Allow hiding progress window while backing up by clicking on the applet
 • Ask for passwords in-window rather than popping up a new dialog
 • Provide feedback about when we're uploading vs backing up
Translations:
 • New Czech, Esperanto, Italian, Kurdish, Portuguese, Slovak, and Traditional Chinese translations
 • Updated Dutch, French, Galacian, German, Norwegian Bokmal, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish translations
Packaging Changes:
 • Bumped required gtk+ version to 2.14
 • Bumped required glib version to 2.18
 • Dropped libgnomeui dependency
 • Dropped libnotify dependency
 • Dropped gfvs-fuse dependency (if you have duplicity 0.6.05 or later)
 • Added a bunch of new tests
