Some notes about Jetbackup 5
Posted: March 18th, 2021, 3:54 pm
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
