Choose a historical revision rather than restoring from the latest snapshot automatically.
Steps for Windows
- Find a known revision date or version of the affected file.
- Select the corresponding backup revision under Restore.
- Recover it into a separate folder.
- Compare the recovered contents with your current document.
How to verify the result
You have both the current and older version for review.
Overwriting the original without checking could destroy a newer good version.
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.
