Hello
I have just tried Jetbackup 5 and my first impression ..... is not so god
Snapshots are gone, admin config entries that should not appear in the user section are there, functionality is not so strait froward as in Jetbackup 4
In order for a simple user to create a backup , the "Can Manage Accounts" permission must be granted
When a user has this permission, the View Orphan Account tab appears in his Jetbackup -> Accounts Dashboard
Why must a single user have this tab ? It does not show the orphan accounts , but it is still scary to be there
Worst, under the Modify Account tab , a user can bypass admin setting for Maximum Backups per Account and set Max On Demand Backups eg on 1000 , or no limit at all
Nice way to have your backup server space filled up

Backups on Demand have taken the role of Snapshots within JetBackup 5. We have received feedback from other users regarding the new JetBackup 5 interface and areas that could use improvement. Could you provide more detail regarding the specific interface features that you found are not as "straight forward" so that we can pass more information to our developers to further improve the interface.Snapshots are gone, admin config entries that should not appear in the user section are there, functionality is not so strait froward as in Jetbackup 4
We have an open internal case for our permissions system as we are currently discussing more granular settings for users. This way the admin will have more control over what the end-users can and cannot do.In order for a simple user to create a backup , the "Can Manage Accounts" permission must be granted
Thank you for reporting these issues. I have passed this information along to our developers in order to have the Orphan Accounts tab hidden/removed for single accounts as well as address the issue with users being able to bypass admin settings for Max On Demand Backups.When a user has this permission, the View Orphan Account tab appears in his Jetbackup -> Accounts Dashboard.
