Newbie Question: Using Dropbox as Backup Destination

SOLVED

OK, so it’s obvious when you know how it works.

  1. You don’t need Dropbox on the system being backed up
  2. The location on the server is the folder you want in Dropbox
  3. BUT if you look at your dropbox root folder, it is under …\Apps\Duplicati backup
  4. So if your folder is MYBACKUPS it will be: …\Apps\Duplicati backup\MYBACKUPS
  5. Folder on Server: should NOT begin with ‘’
  6. If you enter as the folder on server: MYBACKUPS and …\Apps\Duplicati backup\MYBACKUPS does not exist Duplicati will create it

NOW that I know how it works, it is really VERY good. It would be useful if this was explained in the documentation a bit more clearly.

Regardless for me, it is EXACTLY how I wanted it to operate, thank you Duplicati…
