I have setup my backup folder and put the Automatic backups switch to on. In the Overview tab I cant press the "Back Up Now" because it is grayed out.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and here is the content of ~/.gconf/apps/deja-dup/%gconf.xml :

$ cat  ~/.gconf/apps/deja-dup/%gconf.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
