In other words, using Kopia GUI does not restrict you from using Kopia CLI as well.


If you use KopiaUI and you want access to advanced features that are not yet available in KopiaUI, you can easily run the commands for those features via CLI by calling the kopia binary that comes with KopiaUI.

Right now, KopiaUI allows you to access all the essential features of Kopia that are required to backup/restore data: create and connect to repositories (including encryption), set policies (including compression, scheduling automatic snapshots, and snapshot retention), create snapshots, restore snapshots, automatically run maintenance, and install Kopia updates. However, there are some advanced features that are available through CLI but which have not yet been added to KopiaUI.
#DUPLICACY UPGRADING DOWNLOAD#
If you do not understand what Kopia server mode is, then do not worry about it – just download KopiaUI from the links below and you will get the desktop application by default.īoth the CLI and GUI versions of Kopia use the same kopia binary, so you are getting the same features regardless of which variant you decide to go with (since the kopia binary is the workhorse). For users who will be using Kopia to backup their individual machines and not running Kopia in server mode, you will use the desktop application. The web-based application is available when you run Kopia in server mode. NOTE: KopiaUI is available both as a web-based application and a desktop application. KopiaUI runs the kopia binary and associated commands as necessary, so you do not need to use the command-line interface. The installer for KopiaUI comes with the kopia binary and a graphical user interface called KopiaUI that is a wrapper for the kopia binary. If you want to use Kopia via GUI, you will install KopiaUI, which is the name of the Kopia GUI. If you want to use Kopia via CLI, you will install the kopia binary when you want to use Kopia, you will call the kopia binary (along with Kopia commands) in a terminal/command prompt window or within a script. Kopia is a standalone binary and can be used through a command-line interface (CLI) or a graphical user inferace (GUI). Download & Installation Two Variants of Kopia
