Planning for hit-by-bus

Haven’t found clear guidance just by searching, so apologies if I’m incorrect.

Trying to build hit-by-bus documentation for someone else to recover my files in the event of my untimely loss.

In the Web UI version, It appears that all of the various passwords used are for preventing access to the application and encrypting the provided backend credentials. What all would be required for me to give to a third party to allow them to get access and retrieve from my backup?

Thanks!

You would need to provide storage account login credentials, name of the bucket/folder/etc where the backup data is stored, and if the backup was encrypted – encryption password (or the pair of RSA key)

That’s it.

IN fact, create a new account in your OS and try to go through the process as the third party would to restore your data. See what you end up needing and make sure it works (i.e. your storage account likely will have 2FA requirements, etc, all the things outside of duplicacy)
