Duplicati never completes a back up to ANY service (that I’ve tried). I set up the back up, then click run, and it will upload for maybe 1-2 minutes, then it just… stops. I have tried with large backups, and again with smaller backups. Does it work for anyone else? I have tried different cloud storage services, such as filen and google drive, and it just never finishes. Am i doing something wrong here?
TIA
Duplicati is a good backup tool, period. As in, it’s literally just good at backups. When it came to restoring, it took me I think 3-4 days to restore around 419 GB of files.
I highly recommend you ditch Duplicati and look for something else. Or if you manage to figure out a fix, try restoring your files before you actually need it.
And another tip is that when creating your backup, you should copy the database file Duplicati creates onto a separate drive. For whatever reason, Duplicati puts its database files on the same drive you’re trying to backup. So when it comes time to restore, it wants you to grab the database file from your dead/corrupted storage drive.
oh, i see. Do you have any suggestions for another backup tool? I tried kopia, but couldn’t figure it out.
ETA: I should note, this is on a pi without a GUI.

Try duplicacy. It is not that expensive and it works.
