The General Tab
Pictured above is the General tab, which is used to set the general settings for a new or existing
account. It specifies where the user’s data will be stored, assigns the account to a group, and
sets the length of time that restorable data will be held. Group information is selected from the
dropdown menu. You can only select a pre-defined group to which this account can be
assigned. When an account name is entered, a password is not required. A password can be
added after the account is created.
Accounts can be created with multiple licenses. It is possible, therefore, for a license to allow
multiple computers to back up to the Storage Server. The number of computers is set up in this
screen. It is also possible that an account will support more than one computer, but that the
account can be set up to only allow one machine to access it at a time, rather than one or more
simultaneously. The
Allow separate computers to backup to this account check box will
enable multiple computers on the account to simultaneously access the Storage Server.
The primary storage location specifies where the backup server will cache certain account
information. The storage location is selected from a list of location specified on the Storage tab,
which will be discussed more in a later section. In addition to account information, this is also
where an
account data folder will be created, which serves as a repository for files that are
backed up by the client that holds the account. By default, the data folder name is the same as
the account name. You can change the data folder name to suit your own needs, but it must be
unique across all accounts.
As the client backs up files they are stored in the data folder. If the disk that contains the folder
fills up then file data will automatically be directed to an alternate storage location if one is
available. The automatic redirection feature can be disabled for the account by checking
Restrict backed up files to primary storage location.
For new installations, setup creates the default storage location C:\UserData. For upgrades
from versions prior to 12.0, setup creates storage locations based on account information found
in the existing database. Upgraded accounts will be restricted to the primary storage location
for compatibility with the older software. After an upgrade, review the account properties to
make any desired adjustments to the default settings.
As of version 13.0 it is possible to change the primary storage location even after the account
has been used to back up files. The storage files will be moved from the old location to the new
one, which may take a considerable amount of time for large accounts. Any unused files and
directories are left in the old location any may be manually deleted after inspection by the
administrator.
