# Sia Destination {% hint style="warning" %} The Sia destination is currenctly deprecated as it is incompatible with the current version of the network. {% endhint %} Duplicati supports backups to the [Sia network](https://sia.tech) which is a large-scale decentralized storage network. To use the Sia destination, use a this URL format: ``` sia://:/ ?sia-password= ``` If the host is supporting unauthenticated connections, you can omit the password. The default port is `9980` if none is supplied and the default path is `/backup` if none is supplied. ## Advanced options To adjust the amount of redundancy in the Sia network, use the option `--sia-redundancy`. Note that this value should be more than `1`. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
