Thanks for your efforts in developing this software! I am wondering if there is a reason why there is no option to browse to another network computer when selecting a backup site. I found Duplicati easily finds another LAN computer and folder if I paste in its network address, but it seems awkward…

[image] Bilateral: I found Duplicati easily finds another LAN computer and folder if I paste in its network address, but it seems awkward that I can browse to a file on my own machine but there is no selection for browsing to a file on another on the network. Heh - I’m always in such a hurry …

[image] JonMikelV: …I do however have a few theories as to why it might not there, in case anybody cares about my speculation: It was forgotten since most people use it for cloud backup? It was forgotten as a cross OS tool where 2 of 3 OSes don’t need it? It’s hard to implement for Windows? …

Okay, sorry about delay. Here is a screen shot of the current history info from a scheduled backup task. This is obviously a Test backup task. The last backup was about a week ago, because in this situation, both computers are not always turned on simultaneously, and there also have not been any …

[image] Bilateral: I just set this up to see how Duplicati works, but in this case, a DATE, not just a day and time, would be very helpful. I believe the information shown next to “Last successful run” is “scaling” in that it will show: time only, if the last run was today day and time, if …

Thanks for the clarification. Personally I think the “scaled timeframes” makes sense but I do agree that a “Browse Network” type feature would be a good addition to the GUI. There are a few functional features (adding backends, improving performance) that are currently being worked on so my guess …

Just to clarify, it was left out from pretty much all the 4 points that were mentioned by @JonMikelV , good guessing :slight_smile: And there are two other reasons: 5. I figured that those who really need it know what a path looks like and can paste it. 6. It is better to run the backup from the m…

A browsing network locations button is something I like too.However, i guess funny things can happen if the server is installed as a Windows service using the SYSTEM account. Duplicati should somehow detect if network browsing is possible and hide or grey out the button if not.

[image] Bilateral: I usually hibernate the machine and was not sure whether the browser tab had been refreshed; and 2) I wasn’t sure what day today was! (Don’t laugh,…–oh, heck, go ahead–laugh.) This is actually under discussion / planned at Progress bar "Next scheduled' timing Ha! Ha! (T…
