Duplicati does't detect webdav folder (error 409)

Hello,
I can’t find a solution to this :
Failed to connect: Response status code does not indicate success: 409 (Conflict).
It happens when I click “yes” to the question “The folder does not exist, would you like to create it”.
Note : the folder already exists. The issue is the same for non-existing folder.
In “path in server” field, I tried every combination (Foldername, /Foldername, Repeating or moving parts from the end of “server and port”, I just get either the same or different errors.


I don’t know what else to try. Do you have any ideas ?

Welcome to the forum @FM33

https://wiki.zaclys.com/index.php/Configuration_de_l%27acc%C3%A8s_Webdav

or their support would likely know more specifics of how to set things up correctly.

Looking at it through a translator, they seem to have five possible setups, and say

Zaclys account profile and then the “Cloud” tab should show which one you’d use.

From your screenshot, anything in server other than a zaclys.com name (but which one?) looks odd to me, as a server name needs to be something DNS can look up.

For your path, format varies, so see their advice.

Some of them (probably like the screen shown) might be from a bad server name.

Setting up an example for you:

It’s true that WebDAV URLs tend to glue the server and path together, but you probably don’t want duplicated things, and you need to get both pieces correct.

In the above example, if I click Copy Destination URL to Clipboard, it says:

webdavs://server:443/path?auth-username=username&auth-password=password

which is a URL style that Duplicati uses to compactly represent the destination.

You can also get this (escaped for CLI shell) in Export As Command-line, and

BackendTool will let you list different path choices to see what you can see.

I note that they list your path form as Owncloud, and closed to new registrations.

Nextcloud has four formats that are still open, but it’s best to check your account.

Many thanks,
I managed to have it work by setting the server as bare as possible. What’s odd is that the URL in wiki is slightly different than the one provided by nextcloud’s web interface (dav vs webdav).
Took a screenshot of the working version to avoid further headaches.
