I am getting this error on my backups. I checked the storage and the “Run a check job to retrieve stats” is greyed out. I tried to recreate the storage and it is still greyed out. What am I doing wrong?
Hey,
It sounds like you’re encountering an issue where your local backup storage hasn’t been properly initialized. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
-
Verify Storage Initialization:
Ensure the storage has been initialized correctly:duplicacy init -e <repository_id> <storage_url>
Replace
<repository_id>
with your repository name and<storage_url>
with your storage path. -
Check Storage Configuration:
Make sure the storage configuration files are correctly set up in the storage directory. -
Permissions:
Verify that Duplicacy has the necessary permissions to access and modify the storage location. -
Run a Check Job:
Although the option is greyed out in the Web-UI, try running a check job via the CLI:duplicacy check -a
-
Logs:
Check the logs for any specific error messages that might provide more details on why the storage is not initialized. -
Remove and Re-Add Storage:
Try removing the storage and then re-adding it. This can often resolve initialization issues:duplicacy add -e <repository_id> <storage_name> <storage_url>

Are you using LLM to write this?
I am looking most of it up that I don’t know, then testing some of it in my test environment. Then I type it up and ask LLML to fix my grammar.
Then I search the forums to see where else the topic was discussed to find good references to link.
I spent about a month testing out Duplicacy, asking a lot of questions along the way. Once I got my setup fully up and running, I started going through the forums to see what I could answer, mainly because it helps me learn more.
I went down the support forums to find post with no replies on the ones I think I could answer with my goal of learning along the way.
The phrase below, I have always been a fan of those commercials, I thought it would be a funny forum signature.
