To do so, first, add this person to AcronisBackupServerUsers group. Then click Set up User

profiles -> Add, select the user name and specify backup location, quotas and time limits

for this user in Add User Profile Wizard windows. Use the default backup location, quotas

and time limits or make particular settings for the new user. If you specify a new path to

backup location for the new user, a new backup location will be created.

To add another administrator, first add this person to 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, he is not assigned a backup location,

quotas and time limits like common users are. He uses administrator profile for both

remotely and locally controlled backups.

4.5.4 Changing User profiles

You might need to change a user profile 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 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 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 and click Clear, all archives created by this user will be deleted. The

same operation for administrator profiles is not possible.
