cloudberry backup "restore-only" free edition alongside a regular managed installation You can change user account on any existing machines remotely via the Gear button > Edit account. This is done due to various reasons, including security and saving on requests to the cloud by using repository database.
Suppose ServerA for User-ITAdmin dies; and I need to pull the latest backup of key accounting files immediately to DesktopB for User-Accountant so they can access and work with them in single user mode, while a replacement server is provisioned and fully restored.
Or suppose a HyperV Server running VM1 to VM4 dies; and I want to first restore the VM2 definition and disk image to a desktop; so I can host it from Win10 HyperV temporarily while we provision a replacement server, and bring everything back up.
Another scenario i was looking at trying:
One of the things I was considering trying to do was to setup a system that could be turned on, run a series of restore plans to restored key critical data from several different systems, operating under different user accounts, and then turn it off again; to create a secure offsite offline backup of that data. — db ots
1) This works fine, all you need is a machine with the backup software installed on it. After that just log in under the same user and choose the backup prefix to see your data.
2) VM edition can't be installed on a desktop machine, but you can install the software on any other server machine and create a restore plan there.
3) This is achievable, but very time-consuming, since it involves logging in under several users and restore procedures can take a lot of time, depending on your network speeds.
