Steps for Windows
- Open the developer's Duplicacy download page and select the Windows x64 Web Edition installer.

How to verify the result
You can open the dashboard locally and see the Storage and Backup sections.
Do not assume the old Native GUI and the Web Edition have the same features.
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.
