Web GUI vs CLI for windows user

Support
#1

I’m running duplicacy on windows and was wondering if I should use the Web GUI or CLI?

I am a tech savy user so i can work with CLI but I’d like to setup few scheduled jobs to keep backing up my system every x hours - and also perform checks, prunes, etc on a schedule.

How can I setup all that if i am using CLI? Would i have to run some powershell script?

Also, would it be possible to use the web GUI for the schedule setup and everything and then use CLI once in a while to do few random checks, prunes, etc?

You can take a look at Scripts and utilities index if you want to use the CLI.

Yes, the web GUI and the CLI are compatible (the web GUI actually invokes the CLI to run all the jobs). You just need to cd to ~/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhsot/* and run the CLI from there.

Thank you.
I read somewhere on reddit that CLI version is free?
Or do I still need to pay for the basic personal license and then I get to use CLI for backup/copy?

Here is licensing information Duplicacy

CLI version is free for personal use.
