Duplicati vs Kinsta: at a glance
What is Duplicati?
Duplicati can now restore from versioned storage as it looked at a past point in time.
The 2.4.0.105 canary adds --remote-point-in-time, which reads a versioned bucket as it was at a chosen time, read-only, so a damaged or tampered destination can be restored without manually copying old versions. Object-lock handling now detects unsupported destinations, and Duplicati Storage gains object locks and can act as a secondary destination.
What is Kinsta?
Kinsta's API can now manage company users and permissions.
The Kinsta API gained three endpoints to list and manage company users and their access to WordPress sites. It follows enhanced Vulnerability Protection, environment suspension and bulk add-on management in MyKinsta, and a summer centred on disaster recovery for dedicated servers.

Duplicati
5.0INFRA · APIS
Duplicati can now restore from versioned storage as it looked at a past point in time.
◆ Current state
The 2.4.0.105 canary adds --remote-point-in-time, which reads a versioned bucket as it was at a chosen time, read-only, so a damaged or tampered destination can be restored without manually copying old versions. Object-lock handling now detects unsupported destinations, and Duplicati Storage gains object locks and can act as a secondary destination.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.4 canaries keep pushing recoverability: restore tests, filelist recovery, Hyper-V and MSSQL as restorable sources, and now point-in-time reads against versioned storage. Together they target ransomware and corruption scenarios, while the stable 2.4.0.x line receives the fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect these canary features to land in the next 2.4 stable release, with more work on Duplicati's own storage service.
Kinsta
5.0INFRA · APIS
Kinsta's API can now manage company users and permissions.
◆ Current state
The Kinsta API gained three endpoints to list and manage company users and their access to WordPress sites. It follows enhanced Vulnerability Protection, environment suspension and bulk add-on management in MyKinsta, and a summer centred on disaster recovery for dedicated servers.
◆ Where it's heading
Kinsta keeps bringing MyKinsta functions into the API (domains, HTTPS, logs, backups, visitor data and now user access) while adding security and recovery tools for agencies running many sites. Access management through the API lets agencies automate onboarding and offboarding across clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect further API coverage, likely for the newer security features, and more bulk operations in MyKinsta.
