What This Skill Does
Manages Duplicati backup jobs on a server via its REST API. Supports checking server state, listing and triggering backups by name, and pulling error logs. Authentication uses a long-lived Bearer token configured as an environment variable.
Resolves backup job names to IDs automatically and translates cryptic Duplicati phase codes into plain status messages, removing the need to look up IDs or decode API responses manually.
When to use it
- Check if a nightly backup completed
- Start a specific backup job by name
- View error logs for a failed backup
- Monitor free space on a backup destination
- Get the current backup phase in plain language
