Do I need .NET8 for the version 2.1?

(This might be something for the category Installation with the red square as icon, but it is not in my category menu)

The description of the new version says it allows NET8. Is it necessary to download NET8 so that version Duplicati 2.1.0.2 is usable? I had to install NET7. I don’t think that I need this new version, but I might install it if NET7 is compatible; if not I understand that I need NET8 too but could also do nothing for the moment

Not for Duplicati you didn’t. It doesn’t need .NET 8 installed either. It’s self-contained.

OK may-be I had to install NET7 for something else, for example the SeaDrive suggested by the renter of cloud space I am using as place to put my backups.

The info file about Duplicati 2.1.0.2 said something like it supports now NET8 - but I wonder what for if all versions of Duplicati are self-contained - I might install Dup. 2.1 if I feel that it is clear

Please read the second line of release notice quote below:

Also read the part about the new mandatory password. More info on that is published at:

Duplicati Access Password

You mention 2.1.0.2, but there’s actually 2.1.0.3 out (although just recently). Notes on it:

Release: 2.1.0.3 (Beta) 2025-01-22
