How to read the storage config

Christoph     Feb 5 5:01PM 2018 CLI

I have several storages, each with a different configuration. But I've lost track of the different configs. Is there any way I can read the configuration from the config files to see the settings (esp. chunk size)?

Just open the config files in a text editor of your choice, it's all plain text.

{
"compression-level": 100,
"average-chunk-size": 4194304,
"max-chunk-size": 16777216,
"min-chunk-size": 1048576,
...
}

The config file is a plain text file if the storage is unencrypted. Otherwise, you can run the command duplicacy -d list which will show details about the config file:

Yet another undocumented option? Or did I miss something?

Did you mean the -d option? It is listed in https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/wiki/Global-Options, although this page is a pretty recent addition.
