history
Duplicati started with the aim of creating a graphical user interface for the “Duplicity” program. This included porting the source code to Windows. In September 2008 the original goal was discarded and a new implementation began. The components used in Duplicity such as rdiff , ftp etc. have also been replaced. The first version available was Duplicati 1.0 and was released in June 2009. Version 1.3 was actively developed until 2013. Since the beginning of 2013, work has been concentrated on version 2.0.
