I want to backup a 2008R2 server with multiple accounts so I installed the urbackup client, I selected all the folders (C:\Users\User\Desktop, C:\Users\User\Documents, C:\Users\User1\Desktop, C:\Users\User1\Documents idem for user 2, 3, etc) of my users but I do not have a tree with my users but Clients>Server>BackupNumber and a list of all folders Desktop , Desktop_0, Desktop_1, idem for other folders, etc. There’s something I did not understand?
How can I do to have a tree with user accounts? Also it is possible to have the icon only for the adminisitrator otherwise there is a client without icon how one configures the files to save?
UrBackup seems to be a big job to make backup easier!
Hi
Please have a look at the doc, but basically , you can backup c:\users, then use a filter to backup only Documents Desktop , whatever.
Again please read the doc to get the syntax right for : and *
Indeed, everything is in the doc in paragraph 8.3.4, I made the configuration of the client via the web interface and it works for me. I also installed the client without an icon on the server. I always read the docs but I missed but it’s fine to call him again. I continue my exploration …
I have server with version : 2.2.8 and there is no possibility to set up backup folders according doc in paragraph 8.3.4 :
I set up: \desktop*;\documents* and nothing is backuped.
Backup will finish with error :
8-03-06 11:40:06: ERROR: Cannot access path to backup: “\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy100\esktop*” Errorcode: 3 - The system cannot find the path specified.

I want backup this directory : c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\
. I need backup Desktop and Documents and each one PC/NB, I like to set up from server, where I made mistake or what am I doing wrong ? How to set up ?
Some users have profile d:\users other users have c:\users, I want backup just directory Desktop or Documents, not other files and directories instead of these, which I setup …
I setup*\Desktop* and*\Documents*
This forum take “*” from text, so it looks like : I do not use it correctly …
hmm I am not sure if correctly understood,
i made setup:
c:\users;d:\users with filter *\Desktop* - It is correct have a look on picture and log says - it is not correct, could you make printscreen with correct settings, please ?
log:

I used this settings:
and it started to work, I didn’t noticed this setting : Included files “(with wildcards)”
In documentation, I found “OR= |”, is there possibillity use C:\Users|D:\Users in case do not exist c:\Users it will follow D:\Users, because, program will return information that directory D:\users do not exists in this time, and I see error in backup
