Help with set and -nobackup-file

[BarH]

Confused by how to set the -nobackup-file option when my repositories were created by the Web UI.

I have one storage configured and 3 different repositories associated with the storage.

In a cmd window I change to the web UI repositories (C:/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhost/ where = 0, 1 or 2.

run the commad duplicacy.exe set -nobackup_file “nobackup-file.txt”

Checking the preferences file in the repository shows the -nobackup-file option is set.

When I run the backup from the web UI the -nobackup-file option is removed from the repository preference file.

What are the step set the -nobackup-file option for repositories created using web UI?

Those files are regenerated on every run. Don’t modify them.

To set Nobackup file with WebUI see this

2] To set the nobackup_file option, quit the web GUI, then edit ~/.duplicacy-web/duplicacy.json to change the nobackup_file value:

                    "report_url_on_failure": false,
                    "nobackup_file": ".nobackup",
                    "filters": false,

The new value will then be passed to the preferences file created under ~/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhost/*/.duplicacy.

You’ll need to edit duplicacy.json, it’s not exposed in UI

Thankyou! That worked.

Needed to know the subtle step of quitting the web GUI before making edits in the duplicacy.json file.
