A cloud destination should be selected through Duplicacy's supported backend list, not by guessing at a synced folder.
Steps for Windows
- Open Storage and inspect whether your edition supports the desired cloud backend.
- Follow the provider sign-in or token prompts shown by that backend.
- Choose an isolated cloud backup path or container.
- Test a small backup and restore before scheduling.
How to verify the result
A restore can retrieve the sample from the configured cloud target.
A file synchronization client is not equivalent to a versioned backup.
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.
