I have deployed Ghost 15 in a business environment. Each user is allocated a directory on a shared drive as their Ghost backup destination location. User's can only see their own folder due to how the shared resource has been configured. However, I have full privileges for all of them since I have administrative privileges.
My issue: I would like to occasionally manage another user's backup destination. Primarily, I would like to be able to delete and/or consolidate other user's recovery point sets.
Is there any way I can do this from my own installation of Ghost? Where is the backup destination information stored in the Ghost install/configuration? Is it a registry setting? Is it stored in a file in the backup destination location that I can open directly with Ghost itself?
I'm hoping that this is even possible though I won't be surprised if it isn't.
Your installation of Ghost can control other installations of Ghost and show you the same thing as you would see sitting at workstation (client). If you were to simply delete old backups from the backup location the client systems history would get messed up because it would show backups that are no longer availible. If you do it "through" the clients version of Ghost then everything remains in sync.
On the main screen on your version of Ghost select "Computers" on the top menu bar.
I only did it once as a test a couple years ago so I don't remember the exact steps it took to add another system in but I don't recall having any problems. You can control as many remote systems as you want but you only can control one at a time.
If I remember correctly, your just connecting to the Ghost service so the client does not need to share the root drive or anything, you just need the admin credentials for that system.
