So far in testing is works. I even tried a restore today to a seperate computer that I did not run the backup from. Kinda kludge but at same time not. I exported the configuration of my back settings on the machine being backed up and then copied the config to the computer I wanted to restore from. Easy for me.<\/p>\n<p>The thing that is nice about a managed backup solution like Backblaze Groups or MSP360 or Ahsay Enterprise stuff is the central monitoring and reporting<\/p>\n<p>What I wanted with Duplicati is a central way to monitor backup jobs. Duplicati itself is lacking a centralized reporting feature. I search and I found two solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution 1:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/shippj\/DuplicatiReportingServer\">Duplicati Reporting Server<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This solution is some ASP pages that you would probably need an Windows Server with IIS. I have VM i could use. But nah, I didn&#8217;t want to put in the work<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution 2:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duplicati-monitoring.com\/\">Duplicati Monitoring<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This allows you to monitor your Duplicati\u00a0backups. It gives you a nice dashboard to see the status of your backups and can send you beautiful email reports.<\/p>\n<p>Duplicati Monitor wins. The setup process is quite easy. Create and account and then create a job. It generates a reporting URL that you put in the client computer reporting URL variable. Tested on 2 computers and going for a 3rd now.<\/p>\n<p>Now, would I use this for customers if I rolled this out. No, too much work right now. But still goes back to do I want to do this for anyone. Hell nah right now dude.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday I talked about Duplicati and open source backup solution.
