We are not paranoid about data protection and privacy, but we think that backups to cloud services make sense and backup data on cloud services must be as safe as in my home. #### People behind Duplicati The Duplicati project was started by **Kenneth Skovhede** in 2008. Kenneth wanted to port duplicity from Linux to Windows. The "simple port" soon became a huge rewrite. In 2011 **René Stach** joined the project. Kenneth and René then decided to redesign Duplicati from scratch and drop compatibility to duplicity and Duplicati 1.3 in favour of better functionality. The redesigned version was made available as Duplicati 2.0. Besides Kenneth and René many people have contributed to Duplicati. Some have committed source code, some have tested and reported issues, others have donated some money which the project uses e.g. to run specific online services around Duplicati. #### Touch Points * To report issues with Duplicati 2.0 or support development, please [Visit us on Github](https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati) * To ask for help, there is a [Diskussion Group](http://groups.google.com/group/duplicati) * To keep up-to-date about what's going on, you can also follow us on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/Duplicati/105118456272281) or [Google+](https://plus.google.com/105271984558189185842) * For very specific inquiries, you can send us an email to [Kenneth](mailto:kenneth@duplicati.com) or [René](mailto:rene@duplicati.com) #### Donations Duplicati 2.0 is run by volunteers who spend their spare time to develop great backup software.
