Déjà Dup errors

Setting up/Configuring Librem PureOS Laptop

I tried to do one with deja-dup and it complains about not being able to backup root files as I run the deja-dup from my account rather than as root. I am not sure how to go about using deja-dup as a root user, nor do I think it is a good idea.

So I am going to use it to make incremental backups of my /home folder only and look for something better suited for the system backup.

Been happy with Déjà Dup until recently, when I have been getting this error:
