duplicacy init can't use root path of sftp storage
I set up a user just for backups on my sftp server and chrooted it in its home directory so using the root path sounds reasonable but duplicacy crash when doing so.
duplicacy init backup sftp://user@server:custom_port//

Creating a folder in the user's home directory fixes the issue:
duplicacy init backup sftp://user@server:custom_port//backup run without issues
Unrelated: Mentioning how to use a custom port in the Supported storage backends page would be great. I had to search a bit on google
Ran into that issue yesterday as well
Use duplicacy init backup sftp://user@server:custom_port/.
