Maybe it adds a bit complexity to implement, but combining this with detecting the LOCAL SYSTEM profile folder (`%WINDIR%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData`) and - if detected - moving the Duplicati data folder to %PROGRAMDATA% would avoid running into a [known problem](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/installed-windows-10-fall-creators-update-now-everything-is-missing-in-duplicati/1073/7) (all Duplicati configurations wiped after installing a Windows 10 feature update).
