The management UI should normally remain local and protected by a strong administration password.
Steps for Windows
- Leave the listening address on localhost unless remote access is strictly necessary.
- Set an administration password using Settings.
- Restrict Windows Firewall access and avoid public port forwarding.
- Open the dashboard locally and confirm the password requirement works.
How to verify the result
The UI is accessible from the intended device and not openly accessible on the network.
Never expose the management UI directly to the internet without a considered access design.
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.
