This got fixed with latest deja-dup in precise. The problem was that
when deja-dup needs root to fully restore files, it couldn't use the
user's mounted remote location. So now, we don't use root for such
situations. And the restore will fail if the user doesn't have enough
permission to write t
Hrm. That error means that duplicity couldn't mount the backup
location. It must be getting confused by being root...?
One workaround for the root prompting issue is to run the following:
gsettings set org.gnome.DejaDup root-prompt false
Now Deja Dup will never prompt for root, even if it want

I don't think it comes about SSH : I've the same problem I've just
freshly installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop machine but I try to
restore via a FTP and after the step 7 (I've exactly the same steps)
I've the same result like you at the step 8 it raise an error :
"Connection failed, please check
I think Ivan is right. I'm also backing up my system over ssh to my
server.
I can restore my backups to any place *inside* my home directory on my
local machine, but I when I try to restore to some other place outside
my home dir it prompts for my password and fails with the same Duplicity
Error 3
Oh, I think I have an idea why it's not working here. The fact that
deja-dup prompts me for administrative permission shows that it tries to
run `as_root` (if I read the source correctly). But the root user on a
clean machine doesn't have SSH trust to connect to any host causing
duplicity to break
Here it is.

Thank you for your willingness to live without your data for a while to
help debug this problem!
May I have the debug log created in /tmp/deja-dup.log by running the
following line in a Terminal?
DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --restore | tail -n 1000 > /tmp/deja-dup.log

I'm happy to log/debug this issue further but I won't be able to live
without my data more than couple of days and will eventually restore it
from *another* backup that I did alongside deja-dup with the good old
rsync :-).

One more thing. Just tried to copy the duplicity command line that deja-
dup logs into terminal and it seems to begin restore:
duplicity 'restore' '--restore-time=2011-10-16T20:59:05Z' '--gio' '--
force' 'sftp://maniac@192.168.1.100/data/maniac-envy' '/' '--no-
