In this section, you can view and execute actions on account backups and manage JetBackup settings for each account(s) you have ownership of on the server.
IMPORTANT! For standalone Linux servers, account UIDs/GIDs must be 1000 and up. UIDs/GIDs below 1000 are reserved for system accounts, services, and other special accounts. Find out more information here: User account management with UIDs and GIDs
Note: Interworx resellers are virtual users, so they are not listed under the Accounts page.
Click on the preferred account on the Accounts Page to expand and view the available account specific options.

Set the maximum number of on-demand backups allowed to created for this account or use the global settings. [Max: 99]
IMPORTANT! Once you reset the account encryption key, ALL existing encrypted backups for the account will be inaccessible and subsequently deleted.
The priority group you assign will position this account in its respective place in the queue. [Example: “High” will put account in the front of the queue. “Low” will put account in the back of the queue.]
Visit Queue Priority Groups to create and modify your priority group settings.
In JetBackup 5, there are 2 underlying priority systems at work which allows you to control how JetBackup prioritizes backups, restores & downloads. Both of which works so that the lower the value, the higher its priority on the queue. For more Information regarding JetBackup 5's priority systems, please CLICK HERE.
This option allows you to specify files/folders to be excluded from a particular account. Please note that paths specified are relative to the account's home directory (/home/{USER}
). The format should be in the Glob Pattern.
This method can only be used to exclude files within an account's home directory backup item. Please note that data like Emails, SSL Certificates, etc.. are processed into its own separate backup item(s) and cant be excluded using this method. To view a full list of backup items, as well as how to include/exclude them, please CLICK HERE.
Runs backup job only for the selected account using the job that was enabled in Backup on Demand Settings.
This is an on-demand backup of the account as it exists currently. If necessary, you can simply roll back to the recent on demand backup instead of restoring the last scheduled backup.
Backup on Demand Backups do not count towards your scheduled backup job rotation. To set the retention and TTL for Backup on Demand backups, please visit Backup on Demand Settings.
Browse all backups corresponding to the selected account.
Under the Created column, click on the drop-down box (Choose Other Backup on advanced settings) to select the preferred full backup date you would like to queue a restore/download for.

Browse downloads corresponding to the selected account. Clicking the download button will directly download the file to the local machine via the browser.
JetBackup assigns each account with a universally unique identifier (UUID). This ensures that backups are assigned to the correct users and prevents conflicts from accounts that may have the same name across multiple servers from accessing dissociated backups. JetBackup allows you to reassign accounts with the correct UUID if it detects multiple UUID's with the same username.
Note: Orphan accounts respect the Delete orphan backups older than setting. Addtionally, if the orphan account no longer has any backups and is inactive, then it will have a TTL of 14 days. An account is considered an Orphan Account if it meets the following criteria:
Accounts that are not Orphans, do not have any backups, and are inactive will respect a separate TTL of 60 days.
Orphan Backups are backups that have no associated active accounts.
Accounts that had multiple UUIDs (Assignable Accounts) before becoming an Orphan will appear as unique accounts for each UUID on the Orphan Accounts page. If an Account UUID has no associated backup and is "inactive" for 14 days, JetBackup will automatically remove this account from the JetBackup Database.
Tags are used to help sort groups of accounts and set group priorities.
Assign the Tag a name for internal use. You can assign the tag a custom color using Hexadecimal numbers. You may also use the built-in Random Hexadecimal Number Generator
You may assign tags to accounts by pressing the Manage Tags
button on the Accounts Page.
