How to verify passphrase [Closed by OP]

[scrognoid]

By isolating variables I realized I was also specifying a wrong remote path. When I just made one mistake I got an error message that pointed me to the passphrase error.

I somehow got two entries in Lastpass for Duplicati passphrase. I don’t remember which to use. I’m having OAuth problems so it’s not possible to just see which one works. They both fail. Is there a way to check if I have the right passphrase w/o involving OAuth cert business?

Hello, maybe this help you to test backup data (if you have some files)

Error: Failed to decrypt data

If you cannot decrypt it, there is nothing you can do, so that needs to be fixed first. There is a tool called SharpAESCrypt.exe included with Duplicati that you can use on the commandline to try different passphrases. This is equivalent to the original implementation: https://www.aescrypt.com/

And you can also look in duplicati internal database
if you sart duplciati with parametr --unencrypted-database and open sqlite file in DB Browser for SQLite Portable (SQLite database management) | PortableApps.com

for details look here:

Thanks for the reply.
I should have mentioned I’m running Linux.
The command line seems to have only a dozen or so build in command. I don’t see how SharpAESCrypt.exe could be invoked.

Alternatively you can use AES Crypt.
