What's the difference between the *gui* and *agent* Windows installers?

[jdrch]

Just wondering the above. I can’t seem to find any explicit documentation matching one or the other to any specific use case. Can someone advise?

It’s still emerging, but info so far is:

@kenkendk

The agent is a version that is constrained to connect only to the Duplicati Console (https://app.duplicati.com). It can then be managed through the console with no local UI.
It is still in a testing phase, and currently mostly intended for enterprise-style installations where many machines needs to managed from a central place.

We will announce the Agent setup in more detail later. Anyone who wants to try it out can contact support via the Duplicati website or write to hello@duplicati.com.

EDIT: See also a description of the package types

@kenkendk

Agent: A reduced build that is intended to connect only to the Duplicati Console (https://app.duplicati.com) and can be configured from here.
The Agent package is still a bit new, so at this point it is mostly intended for enterprise-style installations where many machines needs to be configured and managed centrally.
At a later stage we will streamline this a bit so it is easier for single-user setups as well.

TIL, thanks for the information!
