backup location will be created.

To add another administrator, first add this person’s local or domain account to the
AcronisBackupServerUsers group. Then click Set up User profiles -> Add, select the
user name and choose Create user with administrator’s rights on the next page.
An administrator can manage all archives on the backup server regardless of their owner,
while a common user can only backup or restore his data from the backup server. An
administrator has no user profile, in other words, the administrator is not assigned a
backup location, quotas and time limits like common users are and uses the administrator
profile for both remotely and locally controlled backups.

4.5.4 Changing User profiles
You might need to change a user profile that is already set. To do so, select the user and
click Edit. The Edit User Profile Wizard will guide you through the same selections, as
the Add User Profile Wizard, except administrator’s or user’s rights. To change the
rights, you will have to delete the user profile and then add the user again with the new
rights.
Changing the user’s backup location will move all existing and redirect future backups,
performed by the user, to another folder (device, etc). As moving files can take a lot of
time and system resources, it is recommended that you schedule this operation for the
time when the backup server computing load will be minimal. You can do it in the Start
Parameters window. To complete configuring the profile, click Finish in the final
summary window.

To change a user’s backup location within the same device, you must have at least as
much free space on the device as the user’s archives occupy because the archives will
first be copied to the new location and then deleted from the old place.
If you select a user profile and click Clear, all archives created by this user will be
deleted. However, this operation will not work for the administrators’ profiles.
