Can't restore from a backup, too low speed

Hello. Freshly installed new system (Windows 11), trying to restore from my backup (multiple disks) via SSH in Duplicati v2.1.0.111 (backup was made in some previous version, i don’t remember, but previous system was installed somewhere in December 2024 and i don’t know if winget updated duplicati at some point, just not checked this)

It downloaded most of stuff (remained 500+ files out of ~2k+, backup is about 4 GB), but at some point it stopped: number of remaining files don’t changing and download speed just slowing down each second. After some waiting I tried to restart duplicati server and now it won’t download anything right from start and the speed is slowing down

When trying to test connection it says “failed to connect: a task was cancelled”, although credentials is valid and i can use them to connect to the server manually

Repairing database (and recreating) don’t help

Could restore everything from cli, but gui (both ngax and ngclient) won’t work

The version that made the backups can largely be ignored, at least for this problem.

Can you see the “Live logs” and set it to “verbose” ? This will output a ton of information about what Duplicati is actually doing. When it stalls, you can see the last messages emitted, and with them, we can perhaps diagnose the problem.

That is just for continuing the backup. You don’t need the database for restores, but it can speed things up.

Do you mean that you managed to restore it from the CLI, but not otherwise? Were you using the recovery tool or the Duplicati CLI tool?

I can try to run restore, but i’ve already migrated to v2.1.0.117 and to flash drive as a storage, don’t know, how relevant it could be, since there would be no downloading from network and it would be ran on the same system it was taken from.

Also i couldn’t find where to set/view verbose logs

Yes. I’ve used regular CLI (Duplicati.CommandLine.exe)

In that case, my best guess is that something is blocking Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe from accessing the data.

The restore code that is called lives in Duplicati.Library.Main.dll and is the same code that is invoked from both the TrayIcon, Server and CLI.
