Where does Duplicacy store it’s cache and log files on a Mac? Windows?
If you look under the repository directory, .duplicacy/cache is the cache and .duplicacy/logs has all the logs.
For macOS, I see logs stored here: /Users/username/.duplicacy/logs
My backup logs are not being generated. What is the command option that enables them?
The backup logs are created and written to by the GUI version. There isn’t a command line option to turn it on/off.
What’s the best strategy for activating and keeping logs for the cli version? May I suggest adding an option to do so?
CLI doesn’t do logs during normal runtime. It only outputs to console.
There’s only one exception: prune runs are logged inside .duplicacy/logs/ i think, and they start with prune_[date]
After asking that question, I came up with a pretty nifty solution and posted it here: Copy command log output.
Can we please have a configurable location for logs and cache, in the preferences file?

Do you want it for the CLI or the web GUI?
CLI.
I think web-gui already has it; but the CLI version always dumps those under .duplicacy/logs and .duplicacy/cache.
