Want to run Duplicacy-Util using config files in central location

[Tighbu]

I have the following files structure:

C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\			# Main folder for Duplicacy, holding executables in top  folder, and config files and logs in subfolders
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Duplicacy.exe
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\duplicacy-util.exe
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\duplicacy-util.yaml
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob\
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob\.duplicacy

C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob\.duplicacy\preferences\
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob\Bob.yaml
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob\log	# Logs are added here when running Duplicacy-Util
C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob\log\Bob.log

duplicacy-util.yaml:

duplicacypath: 'C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\duplicacy.exe'

Bob.yaml (located in C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob):

#location of repository (the base directory of the backup)
repository: C:\Users\Bob

#location of storage

#prune command, what storage to do it on and what values to use

prune:

    keep: "30:360 7:180 1:30"

#check command and what storage to do it on

Windows Command Line:

C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob>duplicacy-util -d -g "C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\duplicacy-util.yaml" -f Bob -backup

Duplicacy-Util output:

It appears that Duplicacy-Util is running Duplicacy from within "C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy", not from within "C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob"

How do I fix this? Or is there a better way to keep the config files together?

I think you have it incorrectly configured. Your duplicacy repository is C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Duplicacy\Config\Bob\ , yet in your config file you have:

repository: C:\Users\Bob
