Here is the License attribute from my macs preferences: defaults read /Library/Preferences/.plist License. Unfortunately my computer is listed as having expired for the 30-day trial. In-depth Site Analysis Keyword Research Content Duplicacy Check Content Optimization. To be 100 clear, I am running this on a small single board computer running Ubuntu dedicated to this purpose, and so compute power, memory and bandwidth are limited. You of course have the right to choose any license you like! I just wouldn't use duplicacy myself under the terms of that license. I would like to try Duplicacy (again) as I was never able to run it properly in my first trial. In short Duplicacy seems much faster although Duplicati is storing about 200MB less data. There is no stable version since forever and entrusting it with your data is foolish. I am gonna give it a try now since there is a trial. This data would be deduplicated saving a lot of storage. For example I have hundreds of GBs for Nextcloud data both on my computer and on my server. Duplicati is an unstable and unreliable slow crap. But with Duplicacy it seems I can benefit from deduplication between multiple computers backed up. I recommend reading their design documents.
As it stands, you may at any point stop accepting license payments from a commercial user and they'd lose the right to use it entirely - they'd lose access to their backups (unless they used the software without a license). Besides obvious flexibility and high performance it is unique in supporting cross-machine lock-less deduplication. vaggos Aug 23 11:08AM 2017 Thank you, it works. I reset all trial licenses on the license server and you should be able to run the trial version now. I can't even, say, create a package for it and get it included in Debian.Īnd aside from some of these practical issues, I'm a personal user who supports software freedom so I don't want to use something encumbered in this way.Īnd as a commercial user, any development contributions I make are no longer my own and I have to pay to make use of them.īut the worst part of it is, your license isn't very well defined. It could be that the hardware id used by Duplicacy is too generic on virtual machines such that your VM happens to have the same id as another VM.
I'd lose rights to any development contributions I might have made unless I pay.Īnd as a personal user, I can't use any code from Duplicacy in any other project.
It matters to me as a personal user because my use of duplicacy might change at some point and suddenly I'd lose rights to use it (unless I pay).
