Restoring from Deja Dup on newly formatted Ubuntu machine

I backed up my 12.04 LTS Ubuntu machine using the Deja Dup FTP service. I then formatted the hard drive, and reinstalled a fresh 12.04 LTS Ubuntu OS. Now I want to restore from the backup, but keep getting errors when trying "deja-dup --recover" and filling out all fields in the GUI appropriately.

(I am able to get to the FTP server by doing "ftp [FTP_SERVER]", then... providing the user name, then... providing the password.)

Does Deja Dup store files required for a restore on the machine that is being backed up? If so is it possible for me to restore/retrieve those files? Is there another reason my Deja Dup restore might be failing?

I should also note that I tried going under Deja Dup and doing the restore with duplicity using "duplicity --file-to-restore [REMOTE_FILE] [FTP_SERVER] [LOCAL_FILE]" and that failed as well. However, when I do "duplicity list-current-files [FTP_SERVER]" I get a list of all my files. But I get this at the head of that commands post:

" NcFTP version is 3.2.5 Local and Remote metadata are synchronized, no sync needed. Warning, found signatures but no corresponding backup files Warning, found incomplete backup sets, probably left from aborted session Last full backup date: none "

The above dump appears to show the backup had failed. However, I got a successful response from Deja Dup after doing the backup initially. I know Deja Dup is just a GUI for duplicity, but could there be some reason that a file backup would work and be restore-able with Deja Dup and not duplicity?

Thank you in advance for any help.
