4.5.1 Default settings

Each user or computer, added to Acronis Backup Server database, is associated with the
default backup location and the default user/computer quotas and time limits.
When installed on a computer (which becomes a backup server from this point on), Acronis
Backup Server creates the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupServer.
This folder is a default backup location.
You can change the default backup location and its quotas/time limits by selecting Specify
Default Settings -> Set backup location and entering the desired location and values.
Changing the default backup location will direct backups of newly added users/computers to
another folder, while users/computers associated with old default backup location will
continue back up to the old place. Thus, a new backup location is created.
The default quotas/time limits are preset to Unlimited, except for Maximum number of
backups in an archive, which is set to 5 (the largest value for this parameter is not
limited, but it is recommended that you do not set unreasonably large values).
Maximum number of backups in an archive means maximum number of incremental
backups plus one initial full backup. For example, if this parameter is set to 5, Acronis
Backup Server will create one full backup, then four incremental backups, then again a full
backup and so on. Archive here means a set of subsequent incrementals and the base full
backup.
You can change the default user/computer quotas/time limits by selecting Default Settings
-> Set Quotas/Time limits and entering the desired values.
