Adding an existing storage back without having to re-upload

[ccheese4]

I have my server backing up to my Dad’s server through a VPN. Due to some network changes on his side, we recently had to re-setup our tunnel, and decided to move from Wireguard to a Tailscale config. During all of this, I had to make some changes that caused Duplicacy to lose the link to its storage. The

The Duplicacy storage, files, and config still exist on his server. I normally use the GUI (and don’t even know how to get to the CLI). If I’m understanding the text at Init command details, I should be able to reinitialize the existing storage, and it will import the settings from the existing config file right? If that is the case, how can I do this in the GUI (and if I can’t, can someone guide me through getting to the CLI to perform this operation)?

I am running a Duplicacy container in Docker on Unraid if that matters.

how can I do this in the GU

Add the same storage the same way you originally added it. There is no difference. Make sure you use the same snapshot id.

move from Wireguard to a Tailscale

FWIW Tailscale uses wireguard for connectivity, it’s just more complex with more moving parts.

got it, thanks! I was just nervous to delete the Storage in Duplicacy. Once I did that and pointed back to the storage location, it asked for storage name and password, and I was up and running again.

And yeah, I know Tailscale is just Wireguard underneath. He updated his router setup, and we weren’t able to get Wireguard working again. Beat our heads against the wall for a couple hours, then decided to try Tailscale. Was up and running in ~20 minutes. May try Wireguard again at some point, but I just needed my backups working again in the meantime. Thanks for the help!
