![]() ![]() For example, the client side says “heh, it’s time to verify a backup file…let’s pick file number 12345” and instead of downloading and verifying it like is currently done the client instead said to the server “please to a compression validation on file number 12345 using this encryption key (if necessary)”. What if the client side still did all the deciding of what needs to happen and merely ask the server side to do take care of it. JonathanM, I’m no expert in how the underlying stuff works in Duplicati but it sounds to me like you wouldn’t necessarily even need such a complicated server side maintenance job as you describe.Īll of this assumes (and I could be wrong here) that the client side has all the historical information at it’s disposal… best way to handle passing the encryption password (my guess just pipe it straight into stdin).recommendations on what options / flags should be used when executing client or server.** duplicati-cli compact /path/to/backup (possibly also tweak any options as throughput is no object)Ĭan someone please provide some feedback on the above, am I on the right track ? ** duplicati-cli delete /path/to/backup -keep-time=6M the server would need to have a cron job that walks the backups weekly, implementing:.clients would need to be configured with a keep-time that’s arbitrarily long (haven’t been able to confirm if 0 just disables it deleting) and the no-auto-compact flag set.I see the following steps would be required: Long story short, as I’m pushing the data to equipment I own and trust (can store the encryption password in another user outside the jailed sftp context), I can’t see a reason why someone couldn’t use the duplicati-cli to implement server side delete&compact operations. If I have missed any other operations that would be made, that use significant upstream traffic other than the above, can you please call them out. Is run to compact after the above operation However there a two scenarios where allot of data will need to be sent again, when: However once an initial backup is completed (for sites with many machines - sometimes seeded backups) the delta’s are low and manageable. The duplicati version used on all environments is the latest 2 branch beta.Īs most of the data I’m backing up is being sent using adsl2+ upstream, I’m limited to about 40Kbit’s a second in order to not impact general internet connectivity. ![]() ![]() The client environments are windows/linux, with the server environment running linux. Have found it to be robust and easy enough to use. I have recently starting using duplicati as a replacement for crashplan. ![]()
