Deja-dup "Failed with an unknown error."

Since a few days I can't take a backup any more.
I'm always getting "Failed with an unknown error.". No explanation whatsoever.
* Reinstalling didn't work.
* Plenty of disk space.
* Switching on debugging doesn't show anything.
* Running from the command line doesn't show any error output.
* The logs contain nothing about deja-dup
ZILCH ! :-)
Somebody in here has an idea where I can look for a clue ?

That did it ! Many thanks indeed ! :-D
* Download : http://arm.konnichi.com/2013/01/31/comm … pkg.tar.xz
* Run "sudo pacman -U duplicity-0.6.20-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz"
Did you find a log somewhere containing an error message ?

  • ITunes 6.0.1.3 downloads a video 100%, then fails with "An Unknown Error"

    I've downloaded several videos from ITMS but the most recent one I've purchased will complete the download process and then fail. I've tried "check for purchases" several times and always get the same result - download the ~200 MB file, then fail when the progress bar is full.
    I've tried disabling Grisoft AntiVirus, defragmenting the hard drive, chkdsk for errors (no errors), but I keep getting the same thing every time - about 8 tries):

    There was an error downloading your purchased music.
    An unknown error occurred (0xFFFE7958).
    Use the Check for Purchased Music command in the Advanced menu to try again later.

    I don't use iTunes for music - just for video downloads.
    Any ideas?

    Same problem here!!!
    Three times I tried to download the D.Housewives and three times it failed. I did the check the purchased and was able to start again but everytime it got to either 99% or 100% it failed with a error but on the third time it failed I guess it triggered something and it no longer shows as Purchased Music. I contacted Apple and they told me I am out of luck!
    Good thing my Ipod is less then 30 days old as it is going back to the store.
    Here is their response after taking my $1.99 but no delivering the product!!!

  • Deja-dup failed to restore with an unknown error.

    Hi. I recently installed arch after running sabayon linux (a gentoo based noob distro like ubuntu) for a while. Just before I wiped my hard drive to install arch, I backed up my sabayon's home directory to my external hard drive using deja dup. However when I opened up my hard drive on arch, and try to restore the backup from its location, it says:
    Restore Failed: Restore failed with an unknown error
    Is there a way to fix this?

    It still doesn't work which is weird because it should work because my hard drive has 265 GB of free space which should be more than enough. I type:
    sudo duplicity --tempdir=~/ --gio file:///run/media/imran/Imran/Restore /tmp/Rstr
    And get:

    Hi Daniel,
    Thanks for replying on my post, actually I have downloaded the  kb2880552 sp1 for
    enterprise edition from the link 
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2880552 , and this has been experienced with me before since I had my Standalone Dev machine first installation, and the issue only occurred when the SP1 installed though.
    Anyway, I've tried to install CU Nov 2013 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889944
    but still facing the same issue,
    I run the Setup of SP2013 from the CD to repair the SharePoint and error message appears,
    The issue related to "Microsoft.Office.TranslationServices" is also related to running
    the repair successfully which leads to the same error message above.
    The Version of SP 2013 from the program file is : 15.0.4571.1502
    The Update snapshot is as below:
    Is there a problem with my sharepoint media file?

  • The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)

    Hey Guys,
    Got the error message "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-50) in iTunes.
    I'm just trying to burn a few audio CDs.
    Running most current verison of Mavericks, all software up to date.
    I've tried changing the burning speeds from Maximum Possible, to 12x, 8x, 4x. Still get the error.
    I've tried 3 brands of CD-Rs get the error on all 3.
    Any suggestions?
    Thx
    CD

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.
    Have you tried simply restarting the computer?

  • The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4310).

    I have been able to burn CDs from music I bought off iTunes. I haven't had any problems until now.
    I just purchased Mike Doughty's Haughty Melodic, the whole album. Everytime it gets almost done burning, it gives this error:
    "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4310)."
    I have wasted 3 blank CDs trying to burn this. I have a lot of experience with computers, I know there is nothing wrong with my hardware.
    Is this is a problem with one of the files? Is there some kind of sub-routine that iTunes runs when trying to burn a CD? I have no idea why this is happening.
    Anyone have some advice?
    Thanks

  • Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)

    I currently have a PC (Samsung Q330 running Windows 7) and I am getting a Macbook Pro in a few days! Therefore I am transferring my iTunes (10.6) library to an external hardrive (Hitachi X250). While I was doing this I received an error message that read “Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)”. Therefore I was wondering, how the heck do I fix this???
    What I have done.
    I have gone in to “Advance Preferences”.
    I have changed the “iTunes Media folder location” to my external hardrive.
    I have the following two option selected “Keep iTunes Media folder organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library”.
    Then I go to File> Library> Organize Library. Then I select “Consolidate files” then I press the “OK” button.
    Then about half way in or so I get a pop up that reads “Copying files failed. An unknown error has occurred (-50).
    As you can see iTunes is not working. Could anyone help me???
    Thanks in advance, Donald Louch!

    Hmm... you may find iTunes is still connected to some files in the original location rather than the new one. You can check with my script Unconsolidated. If that is the case the script ConsolidateByMoving ought to switch the connection to a file already in the correct place however I'm currently working on a new build so the behaviour of the live version might be slightly different.

  • The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occurred (4000).

    Whenever I try to burn a CD from iTunes, the burning process starts and continues for about two minutes, cancels automatically and then displays the following statement: "The attempt to burn a disk failed. An unknown error occurred (4000)."
    Several Apple technicians have tried but been unable to assist me. They have pointed me to articles at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93360 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93286 but none of the suggested solutions solve the problem.
    1. I have the most recent version of iTunes (6.0.1).
    2. All of the songs that I am trying to burn are authorized. For example, they include the Complete U2 Collection, which I recently downloaded from the iTunes Music Store.
    3. I am not trying to burn a CD with the same Playlist more than seven times.
    4. My CD burner works perfectly fine using other CD burning software, such as Windows Media Player or Roxio Easy Media Creator. However, these programs are not compatible with any of the many pieces of music that I have purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store.
    My hardware configuration is as follows:
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
    HP Pavilion 061 PJ467AA-ABA M1180N
    iTunes 6.0.1.3

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can restore my ability to burn CDs from iTunes? Thank you very much!

    I am having the same problem. I get an error 4450 - unknown. I have purchased several songs but it appears I will not be able to burn them to CD.

  • Attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4280).

    I put a blank CD in. I open iTunes. I click on a play list and attempt to burn. It checks the play list like everything is fine and seems like it begins to burn the first track. Then after a few seconds it says *_canceling disc_*. It ejects the CD and an error message comes up: "_*The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4280).*_" I thought that the new update (7.6.2) might include a fix for this. No such luck of course! Have had this problem for awhile and have researched it on the internet. I am not the only one with this problem and people have been posting about this error since 2005! CDs burn fine and Media player. What's the deal? I thought Mac was supposed to be superior to Windows? I have a Slimtype DVDRW SSM-8515S drive. I have tried HP's solutions, lower burn speed, clicking this and that, ect. Please help. This problem makes me wish I didn't have an iPod. The only reason I started using iTunes was because of the iPod. +Not happy with this or Mac at all+. I don't care how cool their commercials are!
    P.S. Have tried all of the suggestions from the following site:

  • Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurrred (-51).

    I apologize if this issue has been addressed before, but I’m pretty well at the end of my rope here. As mentioned in the title, the message is:
    “Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurred (-51)”
    I have tried resetting my 20G iPod, as well as re-downloading and running the iTunes and iPod installer. If I delete something off of my iPod, unplug it, and then plug it back in again, the song name is there again, but this time it has an exclamation point next to it and it won’t play the song. It plays the rest of the music fine through the computer and through my stereo (I was having some problems with it skipping to the next song in the middle of a song, but I reset it and haven’t had the problem since). I don’t want to have to restore the iPod for the simple fact that I didn’t take the time to backup all my music. That would be a pain. Also, something else I’ve noticed is that I can actually hear its hard drive now kicking in and out when it’s really quiet and plugged into the computer. I hope that I just never noticed that before.
    Without having to restore, is there anything else that I haven’t tried? HELP!!

  • Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurre

    Hi I keep getting an error when I sync my Ipod.
    "Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."
    I have a 20 GB click wheel Ipod. And nothing is working to fix it. Restoring, etc.

    I don't know if you've found a fix for your problem or what exactly could be causing it, but I'm wrestling with the same issue myself.
    Some say it's happens when your files are corrupted.
    If you read this post -- http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=887569 -- and the subsequent replies there is a work-around to this using MusicMatch and other suggestions that may help.

  • ITunes library consolidation error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    My iTunes library has outgrown the HDD on my iMac, so I've started to migrate it over to a Synology NAS.  The iTunes Media folder is set to the NAS, but when I attempt to consolidate the library the operation fails each time with the error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50). 
    I have found this references to this error in the communities from Windows users, but I only use Macs.

    Just trying to give this topic a poke as I am having a similar issue.
    I am rebuilding my library that was on an external drive.  I had a backup of much of the files, but not a direct backup of the iTunes media folder, as well I am now moving it to a new iTunes Media directory on a Synology 1813+ NAS running DSM 4.3 vs. a USB attached drive.
    I have followed all of the correct procedures to move the media directory by using the tools within iTunes, and that all worked perfectly.
    So far iTunes has been able to locate most of the music files through its own processes. Once it completed that process I then initiated "Consolidate files" to move the found files to the new iTunes Media directory on the new NAS.
    I am led to believe that the issue is with a specific file that causes the copy process to stop, but I don't know how to capture what file it might be.
    I am not seeing anything relevent in the console log.
    Hoping someone can throw me some ideas...

    This is the same thing that just happened to me. My error message reads as follows: "Attempting to copy to the disk "C's IP" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". I've reset and restored. It still will not add the last 3 songs that I have purchased from Itunes. I have completely read the manual and can't find anything that deals with this problem. I have only had my ipod for 10 months. I hope someone can help with this.

  • Consolidation error "Copying Music failed. An unknown error occurred (-51)

    I want to Consolidate my large music library and add all of the songs from my MacBook to my new, much larger iTunes music folder, which is on a Buffalo Terastation NAS, so that I may easily back them up. When I "Consolidate", I immediately get an error message that says "Copying Music failed. An unknown error occurred (-51)."
    Has anyone else experienced this and knows how to fix it? I can't seem to find a fix for that error code.

    Look at this Apple Article about how to Consolidate the iTunes Library ... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    If you follow the steps in this link I think that it should work. But first you must setup the Hard Drives as a 'Bootable GUID Partition Table' with 'Owners' & 'Journaling' Enabled in order to retain the iTunes users permissions.
    Good Luck.
