How to recover backup with damaged dblock file?

[Backarchy]

Sorry to relive that old topic

I think the only viable option with Duplicati at the moment is to have multiple destinations for every backup set – that way when (I suspect ‘when’ is more correct than ‘if’ given the sheer amount of strange issues I’ve experienced) one of the destinations goes ‘bad’ it would be at least possible to copy files from another destination and continue to have working backups.

I agree with this. This is what I end doing with two issues.

Yes, I deleted all the files from the broken job, copied all the files from another job, and rebuilt the database.

Is there any other option?

I do the same but to avoid the DB rebuilt time, I copy the local DB of the working backup, change the name of the DB file (XXXX.sqlite). After configuring the new backup (I do not export import settings as it has caused me some issues), I change the DB path to the copied DB. It works directly.
