Duplicacy copy over SFTP setup help

Support
#1

I have my Unraid server (A) doing frequent Duplicacy backups. The initial backup is complete.

I want to incrementally copy that backup over to computer B via SFTP.

I tried to follow the docs about the copy command but have no idea where to even begin. I need some examples.

Can someone please help? What do I need to do on Computer B? All I have done so far I have installed the duplicacy CLI installed.

Assuming:

your A backs up to server B1
You want to replicate that backup to SFTP server B2.

  1. Create an empty folder
  2. Initialize new repository there, pointing to storage B1. (duplicacy init)
  3. Add another repository there, pointing to storage B2 (duplciacy add)
  4. run duplicacy copy to copy the specific snapshot from B1 to B2. (duplicacy copy)

If you use WebUI – configure both storages, and then add Copy task to schedule.

#3

Since you spoke about unraid and zfs in another topic — if your duplicacy storage resides on a separate dataset — another option is to replicate entire dataset with zfs send/zfs receive. It’s fast, incremental, sequential, and is a filesystem feature, no extra software required.

Thanks for assisting again. Much appreciated.

Not quite. I want Computer A to backup to an internal disk. Then I want to wake computer B and pull that backup from computer A to a local disk on computer B. I only have two computers. So I only want to backup my backup to computer B.

What would these commands look like? I am completely lost.

How do I point the storage to another computer?

I think I will need some genneric examples.
