How to implement department wide backups using sub-accounts?
Here is a sample scenario on how to implement the same. Let us say you need to backup 5 workstations, with a need to backup 2GB for each workstation. First create a master account through IBackup’s registration for 10GB. Then, create 5 Sub-Accounts through Web-Manager, say sub1, sub2…sub5 using the ‘basic’ option that automatically creates top level folders with the same name as the Sub-Account name and maps the Sub-Accounts to the respective top level folders. Make sure you allocate quota for the Sub-Accounts appropriately (say 2GB for each Sub-Account) . Each Sub-Account will have its own username and password. Now download the scheduling application IBackup for Windows, use respective Sub-Accounts to login to IBackup, set scheduling parameters. You can manage the entire backup of your department’s workstations using one master account for easier control of data, space, and of course billing.
