My backup app doesn’t store a single byte of my data, and that’s exactly why I trust it

Several backup services make it easy to hand over your files and let someone else handle the storage. You're entrusting their safety to whoever is storing them, hoping they stay private. I've simply never liked this model. I wasn't expecting Duplicati to be much different. In fact, after installing it and backing up my files, I went looking for them on my connected storage, expecting to find them sitting there. But I didn't find anything that looked like them, and that absence is the entire reason Duplicati has become the backup tool I trust most.
