Create incremental backups without .zip or any compression

Hello @SkyBeam and welcome to the forum!

This is basically replacing the entire backup design, so I wouldn’t think it’s likely to happen anytime soon. Also this is a Support request. If you like, you can submit a Feature request in the forum or GitHub to track the ask.

I do understand the sentiment though. I still do in-house backups occasionally using Windows 10 “File History” which is almost as close as one can get to a set of direct full-file copies with time info inserted in the filenames.

In case all other Duplicati things disappear, there’s also an Independent restore program you could archive…

Monitoring seems a somewhat separate issue unless your home users go to see what simple copies show up. For you to monitor the backups, perhaps www.duplicati-monitoring.com or dupReport could help you with that.
