Configure Duplicacy for an existing Windows 10 file library before relying on it.
Steps for Windows
- Check that the machine meets the downloaded edition's platform requirements.
- Install the current Windows Web Edition.
- Choose a source directory holding noncritical test files.
- Back up the sample to a storage folder outside the original source.
How to verify the result
The backup job shows a completed revision and restores one file.
Avoid selecting a backup destination inside the same source tree.
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.
