This would have the same effect since syncing would occur and the backup would eventually be sync’d to Dropbox. So why bother at all? why not just say it’s a ‘local folder or drive’ on my computer and point it to: So near as I can figure, if I put in (Dropbox user) as a destination on the server \MYBACKUP that will be translated c:\users\username\Dropbox\MYBACKUPS. Based on what ts678 has said (and what it looks like when I try to use), you point the proprietary backup to the folder within your system. The bottom line is that I’d rather NOT store backup data locally on the server.Īnd I’m still not getting the concept of using (any of the) proprietary storage mechanisms like Dropbox and say onedrive etc etc. So dumping down backups (even incrementals) would kill our GCI very quickly. at least 1 Tb), but VERY limited space locally. Apart from the fact that the local dropbox folder could get corrupted thus corrupting the folder in the cloud, the other issue we have is that we are backing up a 150GB GCI. I realise that you are doing this for free, but I still need it to work?ĮDIT: It looks to me like you need to put in a Dropbox local folder as the path (then I assume you rely on Dropbox syncing). So what do I need to do, this is becoming (nope it actually is) very frustrating. Path on server The actual Dropbox link to the folderĪnd still the error: …Failed to connect: You need an AuthID, you can get it from: etc The authorization token retrieved from Duplicati OAuth Handler I have repeated this at least 5 times and everytime I get the …Failed to connect: You need an AuthID, you can get it from: etcĪuthid Secondly, even though I go through the OAUTH2 signin and get a token, Duplicati ALWAYS tells me I need a valid token.
Dropbox local server manual#
OR is it actually the path on the server like: c\users\user\Dropbox\DuplicatiBackups where I MUST have Dropbox installed (this seems a bit weak since I could delete or corrupt that folder locally)? Regardless …Path on Server… is confusing and I have trolled the manual etc etc and cannot find an answer. I ASSUME I do not need Dropbox installed, I simply need to be able to get the path on server (URL of the backup folder), but HOW DO I DO THIS? When I just look at the folder with Dropbox web it has a URL of that says …home…Ĭlearly that’s a folder for everybody in the globe, how can I find out what ‘home’ should be? In the Duplicati screen I have selected Dropbox. I am trying to setup Dropbox as the destination. Apologies for the newbie question (I was also using crashplan).
