Getting Started?

Yep - you caught us. We weren’t expecting Code42 to do what they did so didn’t have anything prepared for CrashPlan orphans. :slight_smile:

You are correct, Duplicati is designed for local or cloud based backups and does not have any P2P (peer-to-peer) functionality built into it at this time. However, your situation sounds very much like mine - lots of family were backup up to my server with CrashPlan.

Since it sounds like you’re using a Linux based server I’d suggest looking at something like this:


Basically, anything you can expose on your server that looks like any of these, will work as a destination:

  • S3 (such as Minio)
  • WebDAV (such as OpenCloud or NextCloud)
  • FTP
  • SFTP

As a non-centralized tool, Duplicati doesn’t have the kind of reporting most CrashPlan users are used to, so you may also want to check out DupReport:


Lastly, as on OpenSource project anybody is free to contribute to the code base over on GitHub - so if there’s a feature you REALLY want to see, you’re welcome to work on it yourself or entice others to do so with a Bounty.
