To add another administrator, first add this person’s local or domain account to the

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, the administrator is not assigned a

backup location, quotas and time limits like common users are and uses the administrator

profile for both remotely and locally controlled backups.

4.5.4 Changing User profiles

You might need to change a user profile that is 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 can 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 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 profile and click Clear, all archives created by this user will be

deleted. However, this operation will not work for the administrators’ profiles.

If you select a user profile and click Delete, this will disable backup to the backup server

for this user and his existing archives will be deleted. This operation might also be time-

consuming, so you can schedule it for the off-peak period.

Deleting an administrator profile will not result in deleting any archives. The person

whose profile is deleted just loses the right to back up to the backup server and to

manage the backup server.

There must be at least one administrator on a backup server. Therefore, deleting the last

administrator profile is not possible. The maximum number of administrators is not

limited.
