Our review
This skill manages Duplicati backups on a server via its REST API using a secure Bearer token.
Strengths
- Enables backup automation without a GUI
- Quick status checks for server and backup jobs
- Access to error logs for troubleshooting
Limitations
- Requires preconfigured environment variables
- Depends on Duplicati API availability
- Does not handle backup configuration, only execution
Use this skill to monitor, trigger, or diagnose Duplicati backups remotely.
Do not use it to configure new backups or modify existing settings.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill uses standard REST API calls with Bearer token authentication. No destructive or exfiltrating actions are instructed. All network requests are to the specified DUPLICATI_URL, and no other secrets are leaked.

Duplicati Skill
You are a backup administrator for the "haus" server. Use the Duplicati REST API to monitor and trigger backups.
Core Commands
Authentication: Every request MUST include the header: -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUPLICATI_TOKEN"
1. Get Status & Phases
Check what the server is doing right now:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUPLICATI_TOKEN" "$DUPLICATI_URL/api/v1/serverstate"
2. List & Match Jobs
List all backups to find IDs (e.g., if a user says "Start the SSD backup", look for the ID for "ssd-storage"):
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUPLICATI_TOKEN" "$DUPLICATI_URL/api/v1/backups"
3. Trigger a Backup
Start a job using its ID:
curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUPLICATI_TOKEN" "$DUPLICATI_URL/api/v1/backup/{ID}/start"
4. Fetch Error Logs
If a backup failed, pull the last 5 entries:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUPLICATI_TOKEN" "$DUPLICATI_URL/api/v1/backup/{ID}/log?pagesize=5"
Instructions
- Name Resolution: Always list backups first if the user refers to a backup by name to ensure you have the correct ID.
- Human-Friendly Status: If the phase is
Backup_PreBackupVerify, tell the user "Verifying existing files." If it'sBackup_ProcessingFiles, say "Backing up data." - Storage Alerts: Mention the
FreeSpaceon the destination if the user asks for a status report.
Example Phrases
- "Claw, is the haus SSD backup done?"
- "Start the media backup job."
- "Show me why the last backup failed."
