Hello @SkyBeam and welcome to the forum! > [@SkyBeam](#): > > I support the initial request and storing the backup as simple copy 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](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/independent-restore-program/2316) 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](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/duplicati-monitoring-com-central-monitoring-of-multiple-duplicati-instances-nice-email-reports/4988) or [dupReport](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/announcing-dupreport-a-duplicati-email-report-summary-generator/1116) could help you with that. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/create-incremental-backups-without-zip-or-any-compression/2261)._
