> 1. Move the following from the Src: folder to the Dst: folder (you may be prompted to give yourself access to the second folder):  
> Src: C:\Users\<your user name\>\AppData\Roaming\Duplicati  
> Dst: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Duplicati

Can you verify that the `C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Duplicati` folder referenced in step 2 of the #How-To contains at least the following:

1. `dbconfig.json` file
2. `Duplicati-server.sqlite` file (note that this may have a different name but still end in `.sqlite`
3. `control_dir_v2` FOLDER

If all those are in the folder, could you also check in the ROAMING equivalent folder at  
'`C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Duplicati\`?

Some older posts I’ve seen mention that folder, but since it wasn’t what I experienced I didn’t document it there. However, it’s possible individual machine settings could affect where Duplicati ends up storing things.

If you find them there I’ll add a comment to the #How-To and maybe we can even work at figuring out why they went to different places. 🙂
