Run urbackup as another user than urbackup

Server
1

Hi
I am trying to run my urbackup server (v2.1.19.1765) as another user than urbackup, on an Ubuntu server.
The reason is that if I use urbackup to write to my share, I can’t access the backup with my domain users.
So I was hoping that running the server as a domain user “backupper” should fix this.
“/usr/bin/urbackupsrv run -v debug --user backupper -d --config /etc/default/urbackupsrv”
But it still starts the daemon as urbackup:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
“urbackup 23015 0.0 0.0 200100 11604 ? Sl 15:26 0:00 /usr/bin/urbackupsrv run -v debug --user backupper
-d…”

So is it at all possible to start urbackup as another user another user?
Any ideas how to get this working?

Thanks

At the bottom of the /etc/default/urbackupsrv file there is a setting to change the user that the process runs as.

Thanks a lot… :slight_smile:
That did the trick so I could run urbackupsrv as another user.
