Yet another Duplicati stall

is this the same attempt as previously posted?

The current attempt is new. I have restarted the machine and allowed a new backup to begin as scheduled, and it still stalled. I did not open this game today.


(I know its silly, but I am not interested on having my Steam Id searchable on Google)

In some previous times, Duplicati managed to copy files while the game was open without any trouble. The theory I have is that it tried the same before and failed, but I cant just assume those things I need to diagnose them properly.

One thing I noticed is that the PC fails to go into standby or hibernation if Duplicati is in this stalled state.

It is possible this is just the most recently modified file in this backup, and this would happen no matter what file was modified. Not a fan of that thought.

Sysinternals Procmonitor check

There is alot going on here. I’m not sure of what I am looking for, but between what seems to be Registry accesses and TCP pings to localhost, I found these entries.


I think its just from me poking around the backup configuration though trying to find out what is wrong. I dont know what I am looking for. If what I need to do is to have this open while a backup runs again, first I need to find out how to make Duplicati resume.

What is modifying files there? What other files are there?

The game was included in the path. I have also played other games this week, Astroneer specifically, but they save to APPDATA, and I dont use Duplicati for that.

Files, mostly art programs. Depending on the situation, I use either Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, Blender, Illustrator, InDesign, Aseprite, Unity, the list goes on really. (Duplicati does not handle the Unity projects)
