Do these references to “services” and “service” mean that your installation was as a Windows service?
You would have had to have run Duplicati.WindowsService.exe to have that. The GUI installer can’t do it.
Running as a service complicates password removal because if you just run Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe with --webservice-password=
this will remove the password from the ordinary-user not service install, however you should have also noticed that you have no backup jobs, if all your jobs are in service install, unless you’ve just taken a break for a few months. Password removal from a service can be done using:
It is possible to pass arguments to
Duplicati.Server.exe
, simply add them to the commandline:
Duplicati.WindowsService.exe install --webservice-interface=loopback --log-retention=3M
per the manual, however in your case you could add the --webservice-password=
to whatever you put after the install
command. An even easier way is to edit the service using services.msc
, or however you like to edit services (for example in Control Panel). Service arguments should appear in Properties
.
