I have created my account with Duplicati and have installed the software. I also have an account with Backblaze B2 along with the Key ID & App ID. But there is no way for me to create that first backup. I would go to the old UI but there is no way to do that. How do I get the software to allow me to set up my first backup?

I launched the Duplicati software again and it launched to the old UI so I’m in the process of getting this set up…I hope. Thanks
Monitoring with Duplicati Console is saying that’s for monitoring.

Duplicati Documentation has GETTING STARTED pages at top.
So on that one, you can switch with “Use new UI” on bottom bar,

The Duplicati Console directions should clarify using the local UI.
EDIT 2:

The Agent requires an Enterprise plan
so presumably does more, but I don’t think I’ve seen latest details.
