DejaDup - Warnings after transferring Ubuntu to a new disk
I seem to have a small but annoying problem with DejaDup.
I recently moved my entire Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installation to a larger SSD unit. In order to do that I used the command
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64K conv=noerror,sync
as suggested in one of the answers to Moving entire Linux installation to another drive
I then resized the partition with gparted to use the available remaining spaace in the new drive.
Everything went very well. I could use Ubuntu without any problem in exactly the same state as it was before the transfer.
The only aspect where I have noticed an issue is with the automatic backup settings in DejaDup. Each time the scheduled backup starts, it warns me that the existing backup files were created for a different machine. It still gives me the possibility to continue.
On the good side, my files are safe - I have been able to restore them successfully in the new machine.
However, the warning prevents the automatic backup to continue without manual intervention.
I have tried to delete the existing backup settings and to recreate them from scratch. It works but, after the first iteration, I still get the warning.
Can someone suggest another way to get rid of the messages?
Thanks a lot.

Does your new machine have a different name? If so, the warning is correctly annunciated. Either you can archive the backups somewhere else and start over in a new location, or you will continue to get the message.

Hello, thanks for the input. I did change the machine name right after the transfer. However the warnings do not refer to the old name nor the new one as I had set them, but rather to a very long alphanumeric chain combining (I believe) elements from my hardware components and from my Internet provider.
