Setup Multiple Computers with One Account

If you want to backup multiple computers using a single backup account, you need to create different backup sets to backup each individual computer. Also, for each installed copy of ADVOBM, you must configure ADVOBM so that it only runs scheduled backup for its intended backup sets on its computer. If this is not being 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 been installed with ADVOBM under the same backup account:

i.           Logon to one of the computers that has been installed with ADVOBM under the same backup account

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

iii.        Uncheck the [Run scheduled backup on this computer] checkbox on the right panel

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

v.         Repeat step ii to step iv for each computer that has been installed with ADVOBM under the same backup account
