From ernst.m...@gmail.com on August 01, 2012 01:42:30 Thank You Kenneth for your quick picking up this greatest weak point of Duplicati for improvement in the new UI. I (em4020) am one of the main moderators on AlternativeTo.net: http://alternativeto.net/software/duplicati/ . |
From kenneth@hexad.dk on August 09, 2012 02:03:48 Yes, we have a new dialog almost ready for adding files to Duplicati. I don't see the use case for picking individual files, except for something like "Backup my Outlook.pst file". I saw the updated string, and I made a small script that pulls the strings from the spreadsheet whenever I build a new package so they should be in the latest build. |
From ernst.m...@gmail.com on August 09, 2012 06:30:48 In our company we have single very important files on the network, which are edited by many persons very often. So the danger to damage them ist great, and sometimes it is necessary to restore a backup from these files, which everyone should can make for himself. So it would be very important to be able to pick individual files with a portable backup software. Cobian backup and Uranium are able to to this, but Cobian cannot be used without admin rights, so until now I make it with Uranium portable free, but Uranium cannot backup open files (VSS) in the free version, and with Duplicati I cannot select single files. |
From rst...@gmail.com on September 14, 2013 04:29:52 Ability to pick single files was added in the latest development version. As UI screenshots are attached here, I keep this open as long as the new version does not have a UI yet. Test build: http://www.duplicati.com/news/theduplicati20storageengineishere How it works: https://duplicati.googlecode.com/files/Block-basedstorageformat.pdf Status: Accepted |
implemented in 2.0 |

Make it easier to select single files for backups:
With Duplicati it is easy to backup folders, but very difficult to choose single files without using regular expressions to be included in backups. This is the main weak point of Duplicati in my opinion.
I suggest to provide a single-file-selection in an explorer-like window similar to the duplicati-folder-selection without using regular expressions as in Cobian Backup or in Uranium Backup.
I use the portable duplicati version 1.3.2.1354 on Vista 64 bit.
The backend destination is another harddisk.
