Installer Creator guide?

client
1

Hi, I’m having trouble with the Installer Creator https://installercreator.urbackup.org/ but maybe I’m not using it correctly. I’d like it to fun a full image on first install but I do not see the options.

  1. I go to https://installercreator.urbackup.org/
  2. Fill in the details: check Append random value to client name, user and password, and client prefix
  3. Generate the installer
  4. Run it on the PC client, i.e. Windows10-64, I get an exit code of 1. Not sure if that is normal.
  5. Then I go to the server WebGui and download the client for that PC
  6. Run client on the W10 PC
  7. When nearly complete I see options on the client which do not include full image backup. The first backup runs but has a lot of exclusions.

What am I doing wrong?

Note: I have another server on the network, an I-Drive BMR based on UrBackup, so I can’t just use regular client installer. When I do, the I-Drive grabs it every time. I need it to point to the urbackup server, only. The installer creator seems to work well for this, even if a little clumsy (if I’m doing it right), but I’d really like it to just do a full image backup.

Cheers

Thanks for any advice!

Hmm, I guess it is doing a full image backup, looking at the logs…
