None are perfect, but neither is beta. [Release: 2.0.4.34 (canary) 2019-11-05](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/release-2-0-4-34-canary-2019-11-05/8381) has the best Catalina support and is looking good after two weeks except for GUI stop button somewhat-hidden damage. Safest plan is to just _not_ use the stop button. It was broken in current beta too, but fix added issues.

Upgrades are generally a smooth ride, but see earlier [post](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/after-update-to-latest-beta-backups-broken/7973/11) about downgrade difficulty. Start slowly, testing less important backups first. Per-backup files are (I think) not updated until you use backup.

If you think this Canary is doing well. you can change [Settings](https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/03-using-the-graphical-user-interface/#settings-in-duplicati) back to Beta channel to avoid worse Canary releases (or they could be better – one never knows). Keep an eye on [releases](https://forum.duplicati.com/c/releases) coming out.

If you want to give specifics, I might be able to point to specific fixes that Canary has but Beta lacks. There is currently a lot of desire for another Beta, after it’s determined what to do about stop button.

EDIT:

Although I don’t know what other things you’re seeing, a big one for me (and your original post) was:

[“Unexpected difference in fileset” test case and code clue #3800](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/issues/3800) whose fix first appeared in release

[v2.0.4.22-2.0.4.22\_canary\_2019-06-30](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/releases/tag/v2.0.4.22-2.0.4.22_canary_2019-06-30)

> Fixed data corruption caused by compacting, thanks [@ts678](https://github.com/ts678) and [@warwickmm](https://github.com/warwickmm)

but there are a number of other known reliability fixes, plus known stop button issues, plus unknowns.
