New in Duplicati 1.3.1.1205 (May 9, 2012)

  • Improved transfer speed:
  • We identified a bottleneck that affected various backends. The bottleneck was fixed and we managed to almost quadruple the transfer speed in certain situations. E.g. we tested FTP in a LAN environment and were able to push the transfer speed from about 270 Mbps to 980 Mbps. The same positive effect can be seen on much slower lines. If you ever wondered why an upload took longer than it should or why Duplicati did not use the full available bandwidth, this is the update you have been looking for.
  • Google Docs API change:
  • Google have changed their API so we fixed it. The API change contradicts Google's API documentation, so it might break again when they fix the fix. If your backup to Google docs stops working some day for no apparent reason, please let us know.
  • Translations:
  • We added Chinese and Italian translations. German and Brazilian got a few fixes so that the strings fit better into the available space.
  • UI improvements:
  • The options dialog got a facelift and looks a little bit more friendly now.
  • Bug fixes:
  • We fixed quite a few issues since 1.3. E.g. there are fixes for GPG, port range configuration in the UI, compatibility fixes for Debian, handling of files larger than 2GB, and more. For a full list of changes, please have a look at the list of changes.

New in Duplicati 1.3.1.1101 (Feb 15, 2012)

  • Italian translations (thanks to Riccardo Stoppani for this contribution)
  • Facelift of options dialog (thanks to Birunthan Mohanathas for this contribution)
  • Translation fixes for Brazilian and German
  • A bugfix for GnuPG
  • A logging mechanism that helps to track down issues with a few servers.

New in Duplicati 1.3 (Feb 14, 2012)

  • Duplicati now supports more backup targets like Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Docs, and Amazon S3 compatible hosts.
  • There are new installation packages for different platforms. The new platforms are: Mac OS X, Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint (deb), RedHat, Fedora, OpenSuSE (rpm). There is also a generic Linux binary available (tgz).
  • Screenshot Duplicati under Mac OS X
  • The status window was improved. It now offers direct access to a few functions and dialogs: the wizard can be started from the status window directly, the opions dialog can be opened and Duplicati can be paused, the bandwidth can be throttled, and any backup in the list of pending and completed backups offers "run backup now" in the context menu. Actually, there is no need anymore to right click the icon in the system tray.
  • File filters have been improved. Files and folders can now be included or excluded from the backups using simple placeholders like *.jpg instead of advanced regular expressions.
  • The command line now supports delete-all-but-n which will delete all but n backups in the target no matter if they are full or incremental backups. If you want to make sure that a specific number of backups is available, use this command.
  • Duplicati can now run all backup jobs in a group using --run-backup-group="group\subgroup" as start parameter for the UI.
  • Duplicati performance has been improved as Duplicati can now encrypt a backup package while the previous one is being uploaded. This is called "asynchronous transfer" and was optional (de-activated by default) in previous versions. It is now the default behavior.
  • Many smaller changes to improve the robustness of Duplicati: Duplicati prevents the system from hibernation during a backup, backup targets are checked for existing backup files to not mix up two backups in one destination and Duplicati can now better handle interrupted transfers.
