Deja Dup could not backup certain files

On: OpenSUSE KDE, standard install (not flatpak)

I am backing up my Home directory and getting a message that not all files were backed up:

Could not back up the following files. Please make sure you are able to open them.

/home/ve4grm/.config/QtProject.conf
/home/ve4grm/.config/pulse
/home/ve4grm/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
/home/ve4grm/.local/state/UserFeedback.org.kde.dolphin
/home/ve4grm/.local/state/UserFeedback.org.kde.kate

Is there something in particular I should be looking to do in order to back these up?

Thanks!

Make sure you can read those files. Open the file manager and try to open them. If you can’t, change their permissions to give yourself read permission. If you can, then please share with me their permission setup (and the permission setup of all parent folders).

Thanks

Had to wait for a backup to complete to be sure, but that did it. Weirdly, recently-used.xbel was already set to the correct permissions, but wouldn’t back up until I set the other files and ran it again.

Thanks.

Weird that those files were set to unreadable before, but awesome that it’s working now!
