Deja-Dup Failure

The current snap version is really buggered! I had it set up to do daily backups. Yesterday I discovered the last 4 days haven’t been backed up (I might add without any warning given). So, I did a manual backup on Friday evening and let it run overnight into Saturday early evening - the progress bar was completely done, but the dialogue window stayed open for what appeared to be quite a long time, almost half n hour. When it did close, I’m presented with a terse dialogue that ‘Backup failed’. That was it, no other message.
