New to Urbackup and have a few basic questions that have me perplexed… I realize this is FREE software so I’m not trying to gripe, just understand really what I’m dealing with here. I’ve installed the product and started using it.
-
Device-specific settings: Is there no way to specify differfent settings for different client devices?? I mean, say on one server you don’t want to backup drive E: but on another you do. Is that possible? Is there no way to have different incremental settings for each device?

How do you see what is in the backup? I’m not talking restoring anything, I would just like to see even just a list of drive letters that were included in an image.

Restore documentation and features: There is no practical documentation really on how to perform restores for a few common situations. It basically says to mount a VHD. How would you grab only certain files or folders from an image, stored on a Linux server that need to be restored to a Windows server? No info? I don’t see a restore function in the client software. Seems you would have to do some complicated stuff like mount an NFS share to gain access to the Linux server files - but can you even mount a VHD via an NFS share?
Then I saw this announcement just released regarding 1.4.9 “Fixed bug where garbage was appended to the end of a decompressed VHDZ file. This causes this file to become unmountable e.g. with the VHD mounting integrated in Windows” - Geez, I could have seen myself beating my head against a wall over this!
