  • Description updated
  • Status changed from Confirmed to Resolved
  • Assignee deleted (sajolida)
  • Mono application (.NET).
  • Unofficial Debian package. I found no reference to “duplicati” on bugs.debian.org.
  • The client side has both:
    • a command-line interface
    • a web server interface running on localhost:8200: https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/03-using-the-graphical-user-interface/. I could pierce a hole in our firewall to access this from Firefox ESR in Tails but then I couldn’t make it connect to an SSH server. I’m not sure how this would integrate with Tails in general but it doesn’t seem the right user interface for our useres.
  • Backend supports for many types of remote storage: https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/05-storage-providers/.
  • Backend supports incremental backups and deduplication.
  • I didn’t manage to make the SSH backend work from the command line (tried `torsocks`) but while doing so I can see in Onion Circuits that Duplicati is calling back home in several ways: checking for update and reporting usage stats.
