Welcome to the forum! I edited your post to improve the formating. (Just added ~~~ before and after the output you pasted, please see here for details).

It looks like the error you posted is related to the internal updater - did you recently try updating Duplicati?

I had the same problem. I solved it this way:

  • searched for all duplicati-folders (c:\ dir duplicati /S /B) and deleted
  • installed new
  • reimported all jobs and recreated the databases

=> worked for me but is only practical if you have exported job configurations

It should also work if you use the latest canary/experimental as the installed version, as it no longer relies on the AppDomain feature that causes the problem.
