excerpt: Duplicati is now auto-updated through four channels. The channels are stable, beta, experimental, and canary.

Update channels allow you to decide yourself what you want. Do you want a stable release to get a safe backup? Or are you curious? Or do you want to support the developers with testing and feedback? Now you can decide yourself. Here are the channels we will make available:
