Cross platform restore not possible

Not really. :frowning:

The problem isn’t the platform so much as the file system (for metadata stuff like permissions) and path references (drive letters and forward / backward slashes).

Linux and MacOS should be fine with each other’s backups but they and Windows aren’t.

You should be able to restore Linux/MacOS files to Windows 10 by running the Duplicati restore command line inv the WSL (Windows Linux subsystem).

And of course Duplicati running in a Windows guest VM shouldn’t have any issues, but that’s a lot of effort / overheadv just for a restore.

But there isn’t a good way (that I know of) to go the other way around present.

Technically, it should be codeable to get path separator from the backup instead of the running OS which should solve the empty file list problem and allow for conversion between path types, but something would need to be done to handle metadata differences.

I don’t know if there’s one already there but I’d suggest creating (or adding to) a GitHub ticket requesting such a feature be added.
