To change a computer backup location within the same device, you must have at least as
much free space on the device as the computer archives occupy because the archives will
first be copied to the new location and then deleted from the old folder.
If you select a computer and click Clear, all archives of this computer data will be
deleted.
Deleting a computer profile will disable backup to backup server for this computer and
delete its existing archives. This operation can be time-consuming so schedule it for the
off-peak period.
4.5.3 Adding Users and Administrators to the Acronis Backup Server
database
Acronis Backup Server creates a user group named AcronisBackupServerUsers (see
Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local
Users and Groups) on the backup server when it is installed. At this point, the group
contains the only user who installed the program.
By default, this user has administrator's rights on the backup server and is able to
manage the backup server and perform backups using computer profiles.
To enable any other user to back up data from any networked computer where Acronis
True Image Echo Workstation local version is installed to backup server, an administrator
should add this user to Acronis Backup Server database.
To do so, first, add this person's local or domain account to the AcronisBackupServerUsers
group. Then click Set up User profiles -> Add User.
The Add User Profile Wizard will offer you a choice of adding the new user name from
the list of domain users, or entering it manually. In some cases, when the list of domain
users is excessively big, the manual way of entering the new user name will prove
quicker, but you have to know the exact user name.
If you click Next, you will go to the window where you can enter the user name
manually, if you don't know the correct user name, you will be able to return to the
previous window and pick the other option.
