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 (local or domain) to back up data from any networked computer, where

Acronis True Image Enterprise Server local version is installed, to backup server, an

administrator should add this user to Acronis Backup Server database.
