Business files may require a commercial Duplicacy license and careful retention controls.
Steps for Windows
- Confirm whether the backup is personal or commercial use.
- Choose the source project directories and any required exclusions.
- Select an approved independent storage destination.
- Run a controlled backup and restore the project sample.
How to verify the result
The restored project files open and the license type fits the usage.
Do not treat a personal-only license as permission for commercial workloads.
Why this matters
The practical goal is a recoverable Duplicacy revision, not just a successful-looking progress indicator. Keep your source, backup destination, Backup ID and necessary credentials documented. If this workflow changes your retention or storage configuration, verify a restore before applying it to important data.
