Thanks to @martijnsmith for giving me the boost needed to “how-to” this! [image] Migrating to Windows Service Installation Support So i started with a standard install of Duplicati on a Windows machine, and then decided i wanted to run it as a service instead. So i did th…

OK. My suggestion is C:\ProgramData\Duplicati 2\Local_System )

When running Duplicati in portable mode, the data is stored in a subfolder Data, located under the program folder (usually C:\Program files\Duplicati 2). One exception is the location of the files that are downloaded by the integrated updater, discussed here: C:\P…

New user here. This whole service installation sounds horribly hacky, unreliable, and non-robust, tbh. Not to mention updating seems like it would be problematic. The best solution, IMO is for “install as service” to be added as an option by the developers at the installer itself. For an excellent e…

Hi @jdrch , welcome to the forum! Thanks for your input & example about service installs. A feature like you’ve described has been discussed (see below), but so far development focus has been on performance and reliability improvements over installation (and even UI) experience. I expect we’ll get…

Appreciate the response. Right now I’ll just stick to running it as a tray icon. I do realize all projects like these have growing pains.

I ran into some of the same issues others had noted and after running the process on 3 different systems (converting them all over to a service after they’d been running as a user app for awhile) came up with a similar but slightly different process that seems to work a little smoother (eg: without …

[image] JonMikelV: But as more users move to service based usage that may change, particularly if Microsoft keeps jacking up the Windows folder during updates. Microsoft still kills systemprofile in the latest Windows Insider Fast Ring build. While it might not be a big issue in the total use…

[image] ts678: systemprofile is a major risk Agreed, and while there was some discussion (can’t find it now) about alternatives I don’t know that any decision was made. I still think the easiest path for now is if SystemProfile is the destination and no content found then an option to “migra…

The only path for now may be to remove the systemprofile time bomb from the manual steps. Probably any reasonable folder OTHER than the one that steps now give will be safe from twice-yearly Windows clobber. I’d think that’s kind of awkward to write into a beautiful step-by-step, so perhaps it’s ti…

Does anybody know what causes the tray icon to be automatically launched when users login and how to stop it? I don’t see anything in the startup folder but this icon is always appearing on login (Windows Server 2012) even after manually quitting it.
