I use deja dup on a daily backup cycle. But when I call up its GUI, the restore button is grayed out. The work around I use to get the restore button active is to go to System Monitor and kill the deja dup process. After doing this the button is active (usable). This is a pretty kludgey way to solve the problem and I'm wondering if there is a configuration setting (or something else) that will permanently achieve the same effect. Many thnnks for any help.

Same problem using Ubuntu Backup. I think it is due to the fact that you did not run the program as the root user.
On the command line type:
gksu deja-dup --restore
Remind gksu is important. It brings up the GUI restore dialog and then you can restore all the files.
