Hello! So far I am digging the concept of duplicati. However, I keep running into major issues. So, here goes my first one.
I am trying to test a simple backup of a drive. In this case, we will say the source is “E:/”. I am using the following command to do so.
Duplicati.CommandLine.exe --s3-server-name="s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com" --aws-access-key-id="KEY_ID" --aws-secret-access-key="KEY" --use-ssl backup s3://bucketname/testuser "E:/"
This may have been working. However, I initially left out the --s3-server-name variable by mistake so it attempted to connect to AWS S3. I added the variable and retried. From this moment on nothing works… I keep getting lengthy very unhelpful error messages, trace dumps etc.
My Question, to which I have found no answer, is pretty straight forward and I would imagine quite common for sys admins. How do I perform a “clean” backup as instructed by one of the error messages? The error message in question is below.
Error when running the backup as is with the new variable. This happens when I use the same passphrase. So, I thought i’d use a different one to test.

Error with different passphrase:
ErrorID: PassphraseChangeNotSupported
You have attempted to change a passphrase to an existing backup, which is not supported. Please configure a new clean backup if y
ou want to change the passphrase.
How can I do a “clean” backup so I can ensure I am testing a fresh backup every time?
Just to clarify, I do not use the GUI. I am trying to automate this as much as possible.
