Running Duplicati as a service under Windows' built-in "Administrator" account

“C:\ProgramData\Duplicati”

This is what I used for awhile before I went to the (rare) plan of .zip file installs to allow version testing.

I didn’t use the link, but put --server-datafolder on the service start. A Synology user used the link:

This symlink may need to be recreated every now and then. Major DSM upgrades like to wipe out the /root/.config area.

This referred to manual migration steps, but I’d say the same thing for the default SYSTEM profile use.
