To do so, first, add this person to AcronisBackupServerUsers group. Then click
Set up User
profiles -> Add
, select the user name and specify backup location, quotas and time limits
for this user in
Add User Profile Wizard
windows. Use the default backup location, quotas
and time limits or make particular settings for the new user. If you specify a new path to
backup location for the new user, a new backup location will be created.
To add another administrator, first add this person to AcronisBackupServerUsers group. Then
click
Set up User profiles -> Add
, select the user name and choose
Create user with
administrator’s rights
on the next page.
An administrator can manage all archives on the backup server regardless of their owner,
while a common user can only backup or restore his data from the backup server. An
administrator has no user profile, in other words, he is not assigned a backup location,
quotas and time limits like common users are. He uses administrator profile for both
remotely and locally controlled backups.
4.5.4 Changing User profiles
You might need to change a user profile already set. To do so, select the user and click
Edit.
The
Edit User Profile Wizard
will guide you through the same selections, as the
Add User
Profile Wizard
, except administrator’s or user’s rights. To change the rights, you will have
to delete the user profile and then add the user again with the new rights.
Changing the user’s backup location will move all existing and redirect future backups,
performed by the user, to another folder (device, etc). As moving files may take a lot of time
and system resources, it is recommended that you schedule this operation for the time when
the backup server computing load will be minimal. You can do it in the
Start Parameters
window. To complete configuring the profile, click
Finish
in the final summary window.
To change user’s backup location within the same device, you must have at least as much
free space on the device as the user’s archives occupy, because the archives will first be
copied to the new location, and then deleted from the old place.
If you select a user and click
Clear
, all archives created by this user will be deleted. The
same operation for administrator profiles is impossible.
