How do I run this as a service? I wasn’t able to find it in my Services (well nothing with Duplicati in it).

This How-To explains how to migrate Duplicati from a user-based to a service-based setup:

Migrating from User to Service install on Windows

Thanks to @martijnsmith for giving me the boost needed to “how-to” this! If you want to run Duplicati as a Windows service instead of under a specific user account OR maybe you find that you keep getting errors such as the following, it could be that you’re running Duplicati under a user install for a non-administrator user. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '<path>' is denied. Firstly, congratulations on not doing everyday work as an administrator! …

This video shows how to register the service after a fresh install:

And lastly, what is VSS?

VSS is a technology that enables backup software to make a copy of files that are in use by another process. More information can be found here:
