ah that’s it
old Duplicati-server.sqlite is in indeed in ~/.config/Duplicati/
this version Duplicati-server.sqlite is in ‘~/Library/Application Support/Duplicati/’

Hmm… It should have been fixed:

Upgrade to v2.0.9.100_canary_2024-05-30 loses existing backup configs

Did you run any versions in between 2.0.8.1 and 2.0.9.104? The logic checks for both an old and new. If a database on the new path is found, that database is found. If you had 2.0.9.100 installed, it would have created the new database, causing it to ignore the old one.

Maybe, if not too revealing about problems with current scheme. Or maybe post it somewhere.

The issue captures the main need, which is how to deal with the additional challenges it raises.

These do go somewhat hand-in-hand, as people will want to know the usefulness of more pain.

I have posted the description here.

and updated a Ubuntu machine,
Duplicati didn’t know what to do with the %HOME% folder that was set up in the backup, so unselected that.
apart from that, noticed that the first backup was a full one.

To replicate this, you had:

• Setup a backup on Ubuntu with 2.0.8.1, which made a backup of %HOME% (checking the user folder)
• Update to 2.0.9.104
• Fails to backup due to missing %HOME% folder

Is that accurate? What version of Ubuntu is this?
