Thanks @kenkendk! I already decided to go with 2.0 version and started to setup duplicati in my home Mac and Windows PCs. I’ll be using it mainly with Google Drive and OneDrive (for Business).
Unfortunately OD4B seems not to work for me (read error) using official API, but I managed to use it mounting it as network drive (free version of CloudMounter), as stated here. I believe its already fixed in canary release, but I’m still not so sure how long it will reach to public beta version. Meanwhile, I’ll try use it as network drive and in future, when fixed, just change to OD4B API connection.
After long indecision and thinking, I decided to go with 500KB block size (and 200MB dblock volume size) with backups up to 500GB. For backups set of NAS and external disks (1TB ~ 2TB) which doesn’t have a lot of changes in files, I will use 1MB block size with about 500MB up to 750MB dblock volume size.
I think these settings will be fine, as I have a 50Mbps/5Mbps broadband connection and speeds to Google Drive and OneDrive are excellent here, mostly 80~100% of my connection capacity.
Thanks again for awesome software. I’m very excited to see future versions coming up, with better and more polished UI and features. With just a couple of days playing with Duplicati, I feel that sometimes it just doesn’t give accurate realtime status to the user, in the feeling that we don’t know if it’s stuck or not. For example, if you have a job running and click “Run backup” of another job, it doesn’t say anything, if it has been schedule to run afterwards or not. Perhaps its internals are working fine, but It could be just some UI tweaking to users feels it more responsive.
For example, I’ve seen this once; It was apparently idle, I clicked on “Run backup” couple of times and it was just “silent”, then I waited a couple of minutes and tried again and it started the backup job.
