# About this release
|
||||
|
||||
This is the next stable release building on the 2.1 line and adds more features and stability fixes, and we are super excited to share this version!
|
||||
|
||||
A big thanks to the supportive Duplicati user base who continues to contribute with fixes, issue reports and feature requests.
|
||||
|
||||
The most visual change for this version is the use of the new user interface, but there is also a massive list of fixes and improvements in this version. Below is a summary of some of the larger changes.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have already been using the beta release, this release is the same as v2.1.2.3.
|
||||
|
||||
## New user interface
|
||||
The new user interface is rewritten from scratch and has the same general structure as the previous one, but we made some things more user friendly and more visually appealing.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you find a function that is lacking, we have included buttons to switch back-n-forth between the two user interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
## New backends
|
||||
We added support for using the cloud services pCloud, Filen and Filejump.
|
||||
|
||||
We also added support for connections with SMB.
|
||||
The new SMB backend can connect directly to a Windows share without needing to mount the folder or install SMB support, and it works on Windows, Linux and macOS.
|
||||
|
||||
## New restore flow
|
||||
The new restore flow is enabled by default and you should not notice anything other than faster restores!
|
||||
In case there is an issue with this, it is possible to set the option `--restore-legacy=true` to fall back to the previous restore flow.
|
||||
|
||||
## New signing keys
|
||||
The packages are now signed by Duplicati Inc, and the Windows packages are signed with EV certificates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Remote source support
|
||||
With this version it is now possible to make backups of local and some remote data.
|
||||
|
||||
In this version, S3, IDrive, SSH and CIFS sources are supported.
|
||||
The UI does not yet support editing this nicely, but you can enter a path in the special format to "mount" the remote source.
|
||||
|
||||
For the commandline (and manual text entry in the UI) enter sources such as:
|
||||
```
|
||||
// Linux/MacOS
|
||||
@/mnt/s3-data|s3://example?auth-username=...
|
||||
|
||||
// Windows
|
||||
@X:\server1|smb://server/share?auth-username=...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will cause the backups to fetch data from the remote sources.
|
||||
We will add an editor to the UI to allow browsing the remote sources, similar to the local files.
|
||||
|
||||
## Archive attributes support
|
||||
For AWS S3 and Azure Blob Storage, Duplicati will now respect the archive attributes and not attempt to read and verify files that have been moved to cold storage.
|
||||
|
||||
## Database updates
|
||||
This version updates the format of the local database to version 17.
|
||||
This version updates the format of the settings database to v9.
|
||||
|
||||
To assist in downgrades there is now a bundled `CommandLine.DatabaseTool.exe` / `duplicati-database-tool` that can downgrade databases with minimal data loss.
|
||||
For a downgrade from this version to 2.1.0.5 this will only drop a few indexes and not cause any data loss.
|
||||
Be sure to run the database tool *before* downgrading the install as the tool needs to be in the latest version.
|
||||
|
||||
# Throttle updated
|
||||
For backups that throttle the transfer speeds, the new throttle logic uses a shared limit for the backup, where previous versions would apply the throttle for each individual stream.
|
||||
|
||||
## Removed backends
|
||||
The Sia backend has been removed due to an incompatible hardfork.
|
||||
|
||||
The Mega backend has been marked as unmaintained due to lack of a supported library.
|
||||
For now, the Mega library still works, but you should migrate away from it. The new Mega S4 storage might be an option.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updates to all backends
|
||||
All backends are updated to handle timeouts in a granular manner.
|
||||
|
||||
This means the option `--http-operations-timeout` is no longer present, but instead there are now `--read-write-timeout`, `--list-timeout`, and `-short-timeout`. These have sensible defaults but are open for tweaking.
|
||||
|
||||
The option `--allowed-ssl-versions` is only present for the FTP backend, all other backends use the operating system to figure out what version to use.
|
||||
|
||||
## New datafolder default location
|
||||
For Duplicati running as a service there are now changes for the default folder location.
|
||||
If you are not running Duplicati as a service/daemon, this change has no effect.
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows**: Avoid storing data in `C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Duplicati` and prefer `{CommonProgramData}\Duplicati`, usually resolving to `C:\ProgramData\Duplicati`.
|
||||
|
||||
This change is to counter an issue where Windows will wipe the `C:\Windows` folder on major updates, and destroy the backup configuration in the process. If your service stores data under `C:\Windows` you will see a warning in the user interface on startup.
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux**: Avoid storing data in `/Duplicati` and prefer `/var/lib/Duplicati`.
|
||||
This was caused by the update to .NET8 where the data folder was not resolved correctly and returned `/`, which is not the ideal place for storing data.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using `--server-datafolder` or `DUPLICATI_HOME`, this has no effect on the database, but may cause your machineid and installid to change.
|
||||
|
||||
The `machineid.txt` and `installid.txt` would previously be stored in the local app data folder, even when using portable mode or choosing a specific data folder.
|
||||
|
||||
This has been fixed, so the files will now follow the database.
|
||||
If you are using the Duplicati console or otherwise depend on these values, you need to move them into the folder where the database is stored.
|
||||
|
||||
This update also sets permissions on the data folder and the databases to prevent unauthorized access from local accounts.
|
||||
To opt out of setting permissions on each startup, place a file named `insecure-permissions.txt` inside the data folder.
|
||||
|
||||
