"No filests found" Error retrieving a copy (restoring a backup)

There are many ways to get to the file restore process (though many of them are just different ways to start the same process).

Have you looked through the restore documentation that includes screenshots?

Note that all these processes involve being able to get to the actual backup files. I’d suggest you try manually logging into the FTP destination and looking at the folder Duplicati is set up to use.

If you DON’T see a folder full of files that start with duplicati- and end with .zip or .zip.aes then the problem is that Duplicati is being told the wrong place to restore from.


    In the GUI

  1. “Restore files…” from the job menu
  2. “Direct restore from backup files …” from the main menu “Restore” menu
  3. “Restore from configuration …” from the main menu “Restore” menu
  4. “<job name>” from main menu “Restore” menu

    Command line

  1. Duplicati.CommandLine.exe restore as described here (RecoveryTool Command options)
  2. Third party python script as described here (Independent restore program - #2 by kees-z)
