The default backup app doesn't work properly.

I searched in the web and my Anaconda2 seems to be the problem but I still want it as my primary Python.

If I run in the console:

duplicity --version

The output is:

File "/usr/bin/duplicity", line 61, in <module>
    from duplicity import log
ImportError: No module named duplicity

How can I fix it and still use Anaconda2 as my primary python shell?

duplicity is a Python script that lives at /usr/bin/duplicity and the error given indicates a problem at line 61 of the script. Opening it in your favorite text editor and navigating down to line 61 might provide some clues. I'm running duplicity 0.6.23 on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS and duplicity 0.7.06 on Ubuntu 16.04.3 and in both cases line 61 of the script is blank and I cannot reproduce this error.

It's possible that you can simply edit the script to resolve the problem, commenting out line 61, or re-installing duplicity, however if Duplicity and Anaconda clash is an accurate assessment of the problem you could run duplicity under a different account and insure that the path for that account includes /usr/bin BEFORE your Anaconda folder. More details on account specific $PATH adjustment can be found in the answers here.
