Use Web Edition on Windows 11 with a local UI and a deliberate first restore test.
Steps for Windows
- Get the current Windows installer from the developer's download page.
- Install and launch the Web Edition on Windows 11.
- Configure master-password protection and one test storage.
- Back up a small test folder and restore a sample to a separate location.
How to verify the result
The restored sample opens and matches the source.
A completed installation is not proof that recovery will work.
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.
