Thanks! I’ve successfully downgraded! What I did : download http://sqlitebrowser.org/ (following @Pectojin advice) launch this software and open “Duplicati-server.sqlite” file.

with the same software, modify the version value that you will find in “Version” table (“4” instead of “5”)
save the database modifications
install and launch Duplicati Beta

Ahh thanks for the help. Its all sorted. I trashed everything and started from scratch (only lost about a months backups shrug). I have it running as a service now as well.
