consult double copy, send email

[Josonet]

Hello
I’m starting with duplicati and I have some doubts
I have been using programs to make copies for years, until recently some paid ones, but with problems, I see that it works very well

1. At destination, if I want to make a copy on 2 different disks, I see that in ADVANCED OPTIONS it could be done,
   It seemed to me that the option would be: alternate-target-patchs:
   Here I put a link to the folder, but it does not save it and it does not save it?

2. sending an email with the description of what you have copied, I have found several news with examples, but for now the tests that we see that you do are in the description a lot of information and unclear
   You can translate (which file could you modify) the content of the description that they put in the email, I have it in Spanish, but the emails, a lot of things are not translated

(attached capture of what I have programmed)
–send-mail-body=%RESULT% Remote server url %LOCALPATH% %volsize%
–send-mail-url=smtp.server.com:25
–send-xmpp-any-operation=true
–send-mail-level=Success,Warning
–send-mail-to=to email@email.com
–send-mail-from=from email@email.com
–send-mail-subject=Copies Test %OPERATIONNAME% %backup-name%
--send-mail-username=email@email.com
–send-mail-password=password
–backup-name=backup name

3. You can change the name of the files by the name of the folder to copy, always put in the files:
   duplicati- letters and numbers. zip

thank you very much for your help

if I want to make a copy on 2 different disks,

The manual description of that option says:

The first existing path that optionally contains the marker file is then used as the destination.

So you can’t have two destinations. You would need to use a separate sync tool to copy files from one destination to the second. Maybe you can call this in a script with --run-script-after.

Here I put a link to the folder, but it does not save it and it does not save it?

It is a known bug that will hopefully be fixed in the next version. A workaround is to open the backup to edit and use the advanced options at the end.

Small gui bug, doesn't remember some advanced settings

While evaluating a Duplicati - Duplicati - 2.0.5.1_beta_2020-01-18 (so, far I’m very impressed with it), I’ve noticed a small bug. When I’ve created profile using advanced option “–alternate-destination-marker” and “–alternate-target-paths”, they are properly created and saved (verified by looking into exported profile .json file - they are there). But they disappeared from web gui if I choose to edit this profile again (and when saved, they disappeared from exported .json as well). So these…

1. You can translate (which file could you modify) the content of the description that they put in the email, I have it in Spanish, but the emails, a lot of things are not translated

–send-mail-body=%RESULT% Remote server url %LOCALPATH% %volsize%

%RESULT% is the big output that you have in your screenshot. If you only want success/failed, use %PARSEDRESULT%. I don’t know if that will be translated.

Did you look at this solution, maybe it works better than the integrated mails:

Duplicati-monitoring.com - central monitoring of multiple Duplicati instances + nice email reports

One main missing feature of Duplicati is the possibility to monitor multiple Duplicati instances in a central place. Moreover, Duplicati can only send one email after each backup run, but cannot send summarized backup information. https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com fills this gap: It provides you a beautiful dashboard to monitor all your backups, and it sends you beautiful email reports that summarize your backup results. It is a hosted service that is free of charge. If you like it and want…

You can change the name of the files by the name of the folder to copy, always put in the files:
duplicati- letters and numbers. zip

The file names on the destination are supposed to be this way. You can change the prefix from duplicati to something else, but I would not suggest it. These files do not correspond to your source files. They contain parts of the files, and only duplicati knows how to put them back together. This is so that the same data does not need to appear multiple times.
