I initially started with the Web version of Duplicacy and now would like to try the CLI as there seems to be some additional options when monitoring backups using Healthchecks.io. For example, I can schedule a windows task to send a curl start command to get less false positives with Healthchecks (as described from here). If there is a way to do this with the Web UI, please say so.
Anyway, I’m having trouble with using the CLI. My understanding is that the CLI is included with the Web version and is located here: C:\ProgramData.duplicacy-web\bin\duplicacy_win_x64_x.x.x.exe.
When executing the backup command to OneDrive, my understanding is that I must use the following syntax:
C:\ProgramData\.duplicacy-web\bin\duplicacy_win_x64_2.7.2.exe -log backup -storage OneDrive
However, when I do this I get the message “Failed to read the preference file from repository C:\ProgramData.duplicacy-web\bin: open C:\ProgramData.duplicacy-web\bin/.duplicacy/preferences: The system cannot find the file specified.”
I have located the preferences file in the “C:\ProgramData.duplicacy-web\repositories\localhost\all.duplicacy” folder and copied to the Bin folder but this does not correct. I’m wondering if I took a wrong turn somewhere.
Truthfully, I’d rather pay for the web version if I could still have the ability to harness the full power of Healthchecks reporting.
