Adding Users And Administrators To Acronis Backup Server Database - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 9.1 - WORKSTATION User Manual

You can use the default backup location, quotas and time limits or make particular settings
for the new computer. If you specify a new path to backup location for the new computer, a
new backup location will be created.
You might need to change a computer profile already set. To do so, select the computer and
click Edit. The Edit Computer Profile Wizard will guide you through the same selections,
as the Add Computer Profile Wizard.
Changing the computer backup location will move all existing and redirect future backups of
this computer 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 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 place.
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 might also be time-consuming, so you can
schedule it for the off-peak period.
4.5.3 Adding Users and Administrators to Acronis Backup Server
database
When installed, Acronis Backup Server creates on the backup server a user group named
AcronisBackupServerUsers (see Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer
Management -> Local Users and Groups). At this point, the group contains the only
user who installed the program.
By default, this user is able to manage the backup server and perform backups on base of
computer profiles, i.e. has administrator's rights on the backup server.
To enable any user to back up data from any networked computer, where Acronis True
Image Workstation local version is installed, to backup server, an administrator should add
this user to Acronis Backup Server database.
