Backup client storing encrypted backups on cloud storage

Duplicati can now restore from versioned storage as it looked at a past point in time.

backupransomware-recoveryobject-storageself-hostedcanary
◆Current state
The 2.4.0.105 canary adds --remote-point-in-time, which reads a versioned bucket as it was at a chosen time, read-only, so a damaged or tampered destination can be restored without manually copying old versions. Object-lock handling now detects unsupported destinations, and Duplicati Storage gains object locks and can act as a secondary destination.
◆Where it's heading
The 2.4 canaries keep pushing recoverability: restore tests, filelist recovery, Hyper-V and MSSQL as restorable sources, and now point-in-time reads against versioned storage. Together they target ransomware and corruption scenarios, while the stable 2.4.0.x line receives the fixes.
◆Prediction
Expect these canary features to land in the next 2.4 stable release, with more work on Duplicati's own storage service.

    Duplicati canary makes Hyper-V and MSSQL restorable sources

    The 2.4.0.104 canary rebuilds Hyper-V and MSSQL support as source providers with per-machine and per-database folders, restore-to-original-location and optional Hyper-V re-registration. It is the clearest step toward workload-aware backup in this window.
