How do I set up Duplicati in Windows Task Scheduler?

Support
2

In Windows 10 you could:

  1. set up the backup using the Duplicati Web GUI
  2. export the backup job “As Command-line” and copy the results
  3. do a Windows / Cortana search for and run “Task Scheduler” (not Task Manager)
  4. in the Actions menu on the right click on “Create basic task”
  5. give it a name (such as “Duplicati XXX backup”) where XXX is the name of your job and click the Next button
  6. select how you want the task to be triggered (such as Daily) and click the Next button
  7. fill in the details for the trigger type (if applicable) and click the Next button
  8. select and Action of “Start a program” and click the Next button
  9. in “Program/script” paste "C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\Duplicati.CommandLine.exe" (or whatever your Command-line begins with)
    a. in “Add arguments (optional)” paste the REST of your Command-line (everything after CommandLine.exe)
    b. click the Next button
  10. click the Finish button

There are other ways to do this, of course - but hopefully that will be enough to get you started! :slight_smile:
