Start predefined backup job from batch file?

Support

Hi there,

is it possible, to start a backup job of Duplicati 2, that I have previously configured in the UI, from a batch file? I couldn’t find anything like this in the help for the command line interface.

Thanks for helping

Sure - in the job menu select “Export” then “As Command-line…”.

Just copy that out of the browse window and paste it into your batch file.

Good luck!

Is it really necessary to copy the ENTIRE text into the batch file, or can the profile stored in the web interface be called up somewhere.
Like: “Duplicati.CommandLine.exe” --profile = 1

Welcome to the forum @PBlacky

True command line (unlike Commandline in GUI) runs independently from server, so lacks its profiles.
parameters-file might make packaging setup for true CLI a little easier, but it all has to go in somehow.
There is a third-party client (with unknown support situation) that can talk to server and run its profiles.

Thanks for this hint!
I had already a look to this project, but i am only a USER and cant get run this environment, becaus there is no runable parts (.exe) in it …

I don’t run it, but I don’t understand that comment. Windows self contained binary discusses the intent.
Downloading 0.5.7_beta_2020-12-06 and looking inside the .zip file found a duplicati_client.exe.
