Introducing Duplicati Index

If you’re already using Duplicati, you’re backing up your data.

Now you can actually use it.

Today we’re introducing Duplicati Index, a new feature that lets you search and query everything inside your backups.

Until now, backups have mostly just sat there. They’re safe, encrypted, and ready when something breaks, but not something you interact with day to day. If you needed something, you had to restore it and dig through it manually.

Duplicati Index changes that. Once your backups are indexed, you can search across them like you would any knowledge base. Instead of restoring files, you can just find what you’re looking for directly.

You can also run queries on top of your data using models like Claude or Grok. That means you can explore old documents, pull out specific information, or get quick summaries without having to manually piece things together.

Nothing about your backup setup changes. Your data stays encrypted, versioned, and fully under your control. This just adds a layer on top that makes everything inside accessible.

What this really does is make your backup history usable. All the files, documents, and data you’ve been storing over time are no longer locked away. You can search through them, reference them, and build on top of them.

We’re also starting to connect this with tools like Hermes and OpenClaw, so you can go a step further and build simple workflows or automation on top of your backups.

This is still early, but the idea is simple. Your backups shouldn’t just be there for recovery. They should be something you can actually use.

If you’re already running Duplicati, you can start indexing your backups and see what’s there.
