How strange. I have been backing up my own computers (4) and those of my family (another 3) using Duplicati for over three years now, and aside from the very rare full-body derp that required a complete dump of the backup profile (once) and a rebuild of the remote backup (twice), it’s been working flawlessly. I do test restores of randomly chosen files at least once a year, and have never had an issue.
Granted, the backup itself errors out on in-use files (and just proceeds to the next file), but show me a backup program that doesn’t. Open file handles make backing up rather hard for anything that needs to obey the underlying operating system.
