I think that these issues are valid and would have a LOT more users using them if the BASE product would support it.
I have a use case for this kind of “local” backup on a phyisical drive connected to the machine and that would be a backup of the server itself.
I am coming from the Windows Home Server (WHS) world. The MAIN reason I had WHS was to have my client machines at home backed up easy and simple with the ability to do base metal restore when needed (first got a WHS in 2008).
Due to the fact that MS has left the WHS users to die any death without regard to their simple needs I first decided to bury the WHS OS completely after I learned about UrBackup!
The WHS2011 version was the first and only version of WHS that could back itself up to a locally connected drive seperate from the Client backups.
With the ability to have a “local” backup up path for clients as stated above the server could then be easily configured to backup the machines OS to a local and seperate drive than the clients.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS FEATURE and from what I read here so would others.
(To UrBackup staff: Please keep in mind that when anyone takes the time to contact you and pass on suggested improvements that they are only about 10% of those users who have that opinion most will NOT contact the creators and just hope things get better or move on to something else. So please listen very closely to the suggested improvements they, if implementable, will improve customer satisfaction and that will increase customer counts.)
