Steps for Windows
- Identify whether you need a browser-managed GUI or command-line workflow.
- Compare the supported storage destinations in each product.

- Test restores rather than choosing only by headline features.
How to verify the result
You can restore a small sample with the selected tool.
Feature support varies by release and backend; verify before migration.
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.
