Separate local and offsite storages reduce dependence on one device or account.
Steps for Windows
- List the independent destinations you want to maintain.
- Add each destination separately under Storage.
- Assign distinct names and record which backup jobs point to each.
- Use supported copy jobs or separate backups as appropriate and test recovery from each.
How to verify the result
You can locate a usable revision on more than one destination.
Do not assume that two folders on the same physical disk count as independent copies.
Why this matters
The practical goal is a recoverable Duplicacy revision, not just a successful-looking progress indicator. Keep your source, backup destination, Backup ID and necessary credentials documented. If this workflow changes your retention or storage configuration, verify a restore before applying it to important data.
