Better Edge Backup v5.2

User Guide

backup scheduler running on each computer will only run backup sets with the same computer name as itself. Thus, you just need to make sure that all your computer names using a single backup account are unique.

For version 5.1 or Earlier

You must configure Better Edge Backup on each computer that it only runs scheduled backup for the intended backup sets only. If this is not setup properly, scheduled backup job of the same backup set from different computers will both be started. This will result in lots of checksum errors and files being deleted on the backup server.

To allow multiple computers to be backed up under a single backup account, you are required to do the following for each computer that has installed Better Edge Backup under the same backup account:

i.Logon to one of the computers that has Better Edge Backup installed under the same backup account.

ii.Open Better Edge Backup and select a backup set that is not intended to run on this computer from the left panel.

iii.Make sure that the [Run scheduled backup on this computer] checkbox on the right panel is not checked.

iv.Repeat the previous step for the rest of the backup sets that are not intended to run on this computer.

v.Repeat steps ii to iv for each computer that has Better Edge Backup installed under the same backup account.

IMPORTANT If you create a new backup set or want to backup another computer using the same backup account at a later date (this implies that you need to create an additional backup set under this backup account for the new computer), please make sure to repeat the procedure above (i.e. uncheck the [Run scheduled backup on this computer] checkbox for the added backup set) for each computer.
