Search earlier Duplicacy revisions for the file before it was deleted.
Steps for Windows
- Open the Restore page and choose the affected Backup ID.
- Browse older revisions until the file appears.
- Restore the file to a new test directory.
- Inspect the file before moving it back to its original path.
How to verify the result
The recovered file contains the expected version of its contents.
If all relevant revisions were pruned, recovery may no longer be possible.
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.
