Hi @kenkendk,
EDIT: My bad, I looked at the site on my phone and didn’t really notice that I should just follow the Getting Started page once logged in. Please ignore any steps asked below, but please elaborate on the differences if any for now. Currently, it looks like it basically mirrors “duplicati-monitoring.com”.
Just wanted to find out, how would it work when we want to sign up for Duplicati Inc. Free or Paid version? I was curious as to what would be the difference currently, as things are now, between the Open Source and the Paid Version, based on download, install and setup:
Download: Would we just stick with the open-source releases binaries, or are there a “special” closed source version you have to download? I can see the download link on the site, but I can’t see any version or special name that indicate that it is the/a closed source copy of some sort?
Install: Can I upgrade or “migrate” an open-source copy to the “closed source” copy by simply installing over the exiting installation? (Hopefully just running the installation and it figures it out)? Or should we install it alongside and migrate over the backups one by one manually?
Setup: If it is the case that it is the exact same code (binary) as the open source currently with no difference. So, the only difference may be that we only need to “connect” the open-source system to the “paid” online site monitoring system (like we currently do with “duplicati-monitoring.com”)?
I’m running it on Windows Server 2016. Effectively I wanted to start understanding how the closed source version and a sign-up to Duplicati Inc experience would be different that the open-source DIY experience I’m very used to.
I couldn’t find any instructions on the site for the closed source version that would show how to get started with it, otherwise I could have just read that and see where the process is different.
Also, I fully understand that technically it is the same code base currently, but I saw that you have put something up already and I wanted to start with it, but are not looking for any wow factors. Also, I’m considering paying for the service if it adds value that I can benefit from, from a business perspective (And my own feeling of wanting to support the effort).
Thanks,
Bernard
