Typical use of Sub-Accounts:
You can backup data from multiple computers with one Sub-Account associated with a computer. This allows for a single administrator account to manage backups for a branch office. Further, it provides a secure way to collaborate with multiple parties with fine-grained access control over data.
Who can create Sub-Accounts?
Any main account holder can create Sub-Accounts. Workgroup Subscription and Enhanced Backup Plan users have Sub-Accounts enabled as per their subscription plans. The number of available Sub-Accounts depends on the plan type. If you do not have Sub-Accounts or wish to add more, you can do so at USD 5 /month per account. You may also remove the Sub-Account(s).
How does it help B2B data exchange and businesses?
An enterprise can create its web-accessible data in a way that represents its business data structure and flow. The system administrator could create Sub-Accounts for employees/customers/suppliers with appropriate folders mapped to the Sub-Accounts.
Using the IBackup applications such as the browser-based Web-Manager, Network drive (IBackup Drive) or the scheduler application (IBackup for Windows) - each Sub-Account holder can interact with others.
The Sub-Account Usernames are considered as real Usernames by all IBackup applications and must be unique. |
