Steps for Windows
- Use an administrator Windows session and review the official service instructions.

How to verify the result
Service status is running and schedules can operate without an interactive sign-in.
Administrative rights and the appropriate edition are required; avoid copying outdated executable names from old examples.
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.
