Hello everybody.
I successfull installed urbackup on openmediavaults 7, but i’ve somo trouble on the correct client configuration.
I would like to backup just few directories on my client, but i’m not sure about how to do that.
I made some tests, but most of the time is starting to backup also unwanted folders…
How can i avoid this?
Many thanks in advance.
Maurizio
Hello Maurizio
Can you share a screenshot of your file backup settings?
I think your issue is because you didn’t specify properly the source folder and the includes/excludes file and folders.
Hello Mikro. Here some screenshoot.
Do you see any mistake in this configuration?
I would like the server to master in settings.
Do you reccomend to leave file encrypt on as standard?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello
It should work changing your “Default directories to backup” with this string:
C:\DISEGNI 3D|DISEGNI 3D;C:\Personal docs|Personal docs;E:\Audio|Audio
Let me know if this solve.
Hello Mikro.
Seems it works. But why i’ve the same input on backup server and on client as well?
The backup directory default field is a general rule for all clientis when present?
Where i find the meaning of the icons on the side of many field…like home…padlock…etc etc…
Grazie per il tuo aiuto.!!
Maurizio
What do you mean the same input? if you mean the same settings, it’s normal because every settings you set on the server, will be pushed to the clients, except for the clients who have custom settings or members in a group.
Yes, but you can define specific rules for specific client or create groups for set specific rules on the group members.
I don’t really understand what do you mean, please send a screenshot.
My pleasure!
Piacere mio!

HI.
The icons here close to the arrows. By the way i was trying to change the one close to Reset…but move all the time back to the padlock.
What i need to do to force the client on using the backup server settings?
Grazie.!
Ok i got it.
So there are 4 different icons:
This push the client to use your custom setting that you define for it in the box.
this is the setting in your screenshot and you have define incremental file backup every 5 hours.
In case the client is a member of the group, this push the client to use settings you define for the group
In case you’ll allow client to define custom settings and you configure something, you’ll find this icon, this mean that this client is using a setting defined on the client side (not from the server)
Finally if you click on reset you could set a combination of three previous setting by this icon
In this last case you could define different granular settings for each state i describe above and you could activate or deactivate any singular rule.
as you see, there is no rule for the group, there is active rule server side, ad there is client side rule but it’s not active.
Regards
Good Morning.
Thanks for the clear explanation.!
