Set up your backups

Once Duplicati is installed, a web interface will open which will allow you to schedule your backups. You have to choose the source folder, the destination folder, the encryption, the date and time you want each backup to be made and the size of each volume. By default, 50MB files will be chosen, although you can make them as large as you like.

Choose whether or not to encrypt your backups

Backups are stored in files that are not accessible from the file browser without processing them first, so you will have to download them all and piece them back together to access the content. This is where encryption comes in handy, as it will ensure that no one can access your data. In addition, to ensure that you do not lose your backups, keys or settings, you can export the settings of each backup to reconfigure them in the future. By default, Duplicati saves backups encrypted with AES-256. If you do not want to encrypt them, Duplicati also gives you the option to save them unprotected.
