What are the upsides and downsides of backing up multiple computers using a single backup account?
Upsides: – You require less backup accounts – You can use one pair of username and password to configure the backup setting of all backup settings Downsides: – You must use different backup sets for different computers – Whenever a new backup set is created under the backup account, you need to go back to all computers using the same backup account to uncheck the Run scheduled backup on this computer option for the new backup set (as backup setting is saved on server and new backup set is default to run on all computers, i.e. with the option checked) – Improper configuration could easily cause problems, which are difficult to debug.
