Duplicati

INFRA · APIS
Velocity5.0

Backup client storing encrypted backups on cloud storage

Duplicati turns Hyper-V and MSSQL backups into restorable, named sources.

backuprestorewindows-serverprivacyopen-source
◆Current state
Duplicati ships a canary roughly weekly and patched its 2.4 stable line on October 7. The 2.4.0.1 stable release focuses on restore reliability, abort handling and security hardening, and adds a reduced reporting mode that strips text and file names from anything leaving the machine. The October 11 canary makes Hyper-V machines and MSSQL databases first-class sources that can be restored to their original location.
◆Where it's heading
Canaries are moving Duplicati from file-level backup toward workload-aware backup for Windows servers, while stable releases harden restore and privacy. Restore correctness is the common thread, with restore-test commands, error reporting and link handling all fixed in the last month.
◆Prediction
Expect the Hyper-V and MSSQL providers and restore-test command to reach a 2.4.x stable release after a few more canaries.

    Duplicati canary makes Hyper-V and MSSQL restorable sources

    The 2.4.0.104 canary rebuilds Hyper-V and MSSQL support as source providers with per-machine and per-database folders, restore-to-original-location and optional Hyper-V re-registration. It is the clearest step toward workload-aware backup in this window.
