This beta release is a collection of additions and improvements from many contributors.
Since it is released more than a year after the last beta, there is a large number of changes.
Important notes:
On Linux, macOS, and other systems that require Mono, this version requires Mono v5 or later.
On macOS please remove the current beta and install this version, instead of using the updater. Doing so, will make Duplicati compatible with Gatekeeper and allow you to grant permissions.
A big thanks to all Duplicati contributors, supporters, fans and users for keeping the project evolving and improving.
Note that the beta v2.0.4.23 has database version 8 and this release has database version 10. This means that your local database will be upgraded once you run this version, and you cannot roll back without some manual intervention.
Here is a short list of some of the more notable changes:
Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Updated translations, new languages added.
Improved support for macOS Catalina
Add support for minio backend.
Improve tray icon to reflect warning state.
Fix long path issue when path has 259 or 260 characters.
Remove support for Amazon Cloud Drive.
Fix input issues with dark theme.
Fix bug in handling filter expressions.
Fix purge operation with simple filters and case-sensitive filesystems.
Fix ignoring of --tempdir option when using the command-line.
Improved list of S3 compatible options and providers.
Fix ability to stop backup after current file has finished processing.
Updates to support libraries
Improve logging during database recreation.
Add option to skip vacuum operations within specified duration, --auto-vacuum-interval.
Add option to skip compact operations within specified duration, --auto-compact-interval.
Fix backup corruption from upload throttling. #3787
Fix for âUnexpected difference in filesetâ. #3800
Fix for âCheckingErrorsForIssue1400â and âFoundIssue1400Errorâ. #3868
Fix for âFTP (Alternative)â upload verification.
Server database version is still 6. Backup database rose to 10. This may impede downgrades.
Congrats on another beta! When you say âremove the current betaâ on MacOS, does that just mean dragging Duplicati.app to the trash can or is there an uninstaller somewhere?
Congratulations on a much-anticipated release! Upgraded 6 machines today (Windows 10 & Debian 9) with only minor issues (that I actually donât think are related to the upgrade). Will be trying a MacOS upgrade tomorrow.
Thank you for a long awaited release!
I will be trying it out in the coming days.
Would it be a good idea to post an announcement or make this post an announcement (not sure if a post can have multiple categories), so that it shows in the âNewsâ section on the main web site?
Or it could just be a package personnel and new OS version package priority thing. I just donât know. Anybody with a good guess of the future Red Hat direction is invited to update GitHub issue aboveâŚ
After installing this version on macOS 10.14.6 with Mono 6.6.0.161 (multiple computers) I see the following error in my output log:
Failed to load process type Duplicati.Library.Common.IO.VssBackupComponents assembly /Applications/Duplicati.app/Contents/Resources/Duplicati.Library.IO.dll
, error message: Could not load type of field âDuplicati.Library.Common.IO.VssBackupComponents:_vssBackupComponentsâ (1) due to: Could not load file or asse

Backup continues normally and completes successfully. I only call Duplicati from the command line, so Iâm not sure if others who use the GUI will/have seen this error.
Hi, I am currently running 2.0.4.38_canary_2019-12-29 X64 with no problems.
Can you recommend upgrading to 2.0.5.1(beta) 2020-01-18X64 and if yes, are there any
topics to take care of before/during the upgrade.
(Of cource I will backup the existing duplicate core database).
Settings can change you to Beta channel if you like. It would avoid future Canary that are less stable. While Canary testers are very valuable, thereâs some risk to Canary because itâs a very early release.
Release: 2.0.5.100 (canary) 2020-01-18 is a case in point. Somehow itâs broken, and waiting for a fix.
Beta is not perfect but at least got more testing behind it as it went through Canary and Experimental.
In case this helps anyone, when I upgraded my Duplicati on Ubuntu 16.04 from the UI (download, then activate), I couldnât access the UI anymore. I had to issue âservice duplicati restartâ in a terminal to get things running again. Iâm not sure if I did something wrong or if thatâs a required step but it seems thatâs all it took.
It looks like the autoupdater is attempting to delete old versions of Duplicati. However, something prevents it from deleting (at least) the file agsXMPP.dll from the update folder.
A quick-fix is to re-install from the MSI.
If you would like the autoupdate feature to work, then you need to check permissions on the update folder (located under application settings for the user running the service).
I am getting the same error message on all my Mac computers running High Sierra or El Capitan and using the GUI. I have installed 2.0.5.1_beta and Mono 6.8.0.96. The error does not happen every time, sometimes it runs several backups with no problems. I checked the dmg of Duplicati under Resources and there are no AlphaVSS related files and no such files exists on my computer.
I checked an old backup version for Duplicati 2.0.3.4 and found those AlphaVSS files being installed under Library>Application Support>Duplicati in a version-specific Duplicati âupdatesâ folder. The latest version of Duplicati did not install those files.
I also believe I have one computer running Duplicati 2.0.3.3 for more than a year now with no error messages and cannot find AlphaVSS files on this installation at all.
So why do some Mac computers have those files installed but not others, and why are some Duplicati installs complaining about not being able to load the file, but not for every backup.
What is going on here?
