Setting up a reliable, offsite backup strategy should feel like a relief -not a marathon through cloud management dashboards.

For years, securing offsite data meant navigating a maze of third-party cloud setups: generating AWS API keys, configuring S3 bucket permissions, specifying custom endpoint URLs, and fine-tuning storage tiering. For non-technical users, this learning curve can be an overwhelming barrier. For busy IT administrators, managing those credentials across dozens or hundreds of devices is a constant, time-consuming administrative headache.

Duplicati Integrated Storage changes all of that. By combining our trusted client-side encryption engine with pre-configured, zero-setup cloud storage, you can activate complete offsite protection directly from the Duplicati Console in seconds.

The Barrier: Why "Bring Your Own Storage" Isn't for Everyone

While Duplicati has always supported Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS), and always will, the traditional onboarding process comes with inherent friction:

1. Account Creation: Signing up for a separate cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud).

   
   

2. Access Control Management: Creating IAM users, setting explicit read/write bucket policies, and safeguarding access secret keys.

   
   

3. Endpoint Configuration: Copying long bucket names, regional S3 URLs, and account IDs back into the backup client.

   
   

A single mistyped character in a bucket URL or an over-restricted API key means the backup fails before it even starts.

Duplicati Integrated Storage eliminates these pain points entirely. There are no third-party accounts to open, no API keys to copy, and no storage endpoints to manually configure.

Plug-and-Play: One-Click Activation from the Duplicati Console

With Duplicati Integrated Storage, provisioning offsite cloud targets becomes a background task handled automatically by the system.

How it works: The moment your machine is connected to the central Duplicati Console, your integrated storage target is active and ready to receive backups.

Key Onboarding Highlights:

• Zero Client-Side Setup: No need to log into individual devices to paste access credentials or set up complex storage drivers. Key rotation is done automatically before expiration; no manual intervention required.

  
  

• Instant Availability: Every account starts with a 100 GB Free Trial, allowing you to test seamless offsite backups right out of the box without entering a credit card.

  
  

• Centralized Fleet Control: Deploy offsite backup jobs to one device or fifty from a single dashboard, without ever touching local storage target settings.

  
  

Uncompromising Security: AES-256 Zero-Trust Encryption Meets Pre-Configured Storage

Eliminating setup friction does not mean sacrificing privacy or control.

Duplicati is built around a zero-trust security model. Before any file leaves your computer, Duplicati compresses, deduplicates, and encrypts your data locally using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.

[ Local Data ] ---> (AES-256 Client-Side Encryption) ---> [ Encrypted Blocks ] ---> [ Duplicati Integrated Storage ]

[ Local Data ] ---> (AES-256 Client-Side Encryption) ---> [ Encrypted Blocks ] ---> [ Duplicati Integrated Storage ]

[ Local Data ] ---> (AES-256 Client-Side Encryption) ---> [ Encrypted Blocks ] ---> [ Duplicati Integrated Storage ]

Because encryption happens entirely on your machine before transmission:

• We cannot read your data: Neither Duplicati nor the underlying storage servers possess the decryption keys to your files.

  
  

• Your passphrase stays yours: Your custom encryption passphrase never leaves your local system.

  
  

• Pre-configured doesn't mean pre-exposed: You enjoy the plug-and-play simplicity of integrated cloud targets while maintaining end-to-end data privacy.

  
  

Predictable Pricing & Scaling Advantages

Managing third-party cloud storage costs often feels like solving a puzzle with moving parts. Hidden egress fees (download charges), API request costs (Class A/B operations), and minimum retention period penalties can quickly complicate your monthly invoice.

Duplicati Integrated Storage simplifies budgeting with straightforward, pooled capacity that scales alongside your fleet.

Predictable Cost Structure

Scaling Advantages over Traditional Cloud Setups:

1. Pooled Fleet Storage: Rather than buying isolated buckets for individual machines, storage is pooled across your entire organization. High-usage devices borrow capacity from low-usage ones automatically.

   
   

2. No Bill Shock: Pay flat rates per 100 GB chunk instead of tracking complex Class A/B API calls or bandwidth multipliers.

   
   

3. Streamlined Billing: Consolidate your backup software and offsite storage onto a single invoice—no more managing separate payments across vendors.
