v2.2.0.104_canary_2026-02-06
This release is a canary release intended to be used for testing.
Changes in this versions
Locking and protection
This version extends on the remote file locking feature added in 2.2.0.103, to now also include locking support for Google Cloud Storage (GCS), as well as a policy mode option for Azure Blob Storage.
This version also adds a new option --soft-delete-prefix which enables the soft-delete feature.
When soft-delete is enabled, files are renamed (or moved) to a new location instead of being deleted.
For destinations that support lifecycle management, this can be used to setup access such that Duplicati cannot delete a file, but can rename/move it.
When Duplicati wants to delete a file, it will instead rename/move the file to a new location, and the lifecycle management or other tool can be used to delete the files with a specific prefix after a certain period of time.
Remote sources
Remote sources have been supported, even in the current stable release, but the usage required some difficult manual string construction. This version adds support for remote sources in the UI, and makes it easier to use remote sources, with a prominent button on the source page.
Besides making remote sources easier to use, this version also adds support for using Box, Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive as remote sources.
