this is the link to the documentation concerning the port we must open in the firewall -> https://www.urbackup.org/administration_manual.html#x1-720009.3

/var/lib
Holds dynamic data libraries/files like the rpm/dpkg database and game scores. Furthermore, this hierarchy holds state information pertaining to an application or the system. State information is data that programs modify while they run, and that pertains to one specific host. Users shouldnât ever need to modify files in /var/lib to configure a packageâs operation. State information is generally used to preserve the condition of an application (or a group of inter-related applications) between invocations and between different instances of the same application. An application (or a group of inter-related applications) use a subdirectory of /var/lib for their data. There is one subdirectory, /var/lib/misc, which is intended for state files that donât need a subdirectory; the other subdirectories should only be present if the application in question is included in the distribution. /var/lib/ânameâ is the location that must be used for all distribution packaging support. Different distributions may use different names, of course.
and also to be consistent with nethserver, all data are in /var/lib/nethserver/

me too 
I have an (funny) issue on the reverse proxy
Hi guys, are you still focused on urbackup?
I installed clientsoftware on 7 machines. Each was detected automatically. Installation is easy.
Speed varies from 2 min for 3,11 GB to 14min for 570 MB.
What i donât like is, that urbackup ist storing the file-backups uncompressed. That wasts a lot of space.
Or, i couldnât figure out, how to enable compression on simple file backup. (only on image-backup)
Second, you canât control backup-times in a timetable. It is just possible to give a time window for
all machines. That can leed to a massiv networkload, if all client miss a timewindows, because on
next start all client try to backup at the same time.
Third, i canât find a restore-process. Itâs only possible to download the Backup as large zip and copy it
manually back to the originally folders.
I donât think that this all matches the high expectations we all have. Urbackup looks to be not
that professional as it should be for a hig-level-product like nethserver.
@Adam @danielecurto @MartinsZB can you answer about above please
@Adam if you have some scripts that you want to be incorporated with the module, it is time to give them (I have in mind a python script to deploy windows clients for example)

Iâve always used GPO to deploy clients in on premises deployments. Youâre right that it stores files uncompressed. Youâd have to use file system level compression. To elaborate on that even further, it stores a full copy of backed up files in each incremental backup, even if only a few blocks have changed. To store only changed blocks, a file system that supports snapshots (ZFS) would be required. I found that I got the best performance, storage, and reliability running UrBackup server on Server 2012 R2 Standard with Windows Deduplication enabled.
Set the maximum concurrent backups. Then all other clients will wait for their turn.

@flatspin You can set time window per client. In settings on top there is drop down list of all clients, where you can adjust settings per client. And what about setting the maximum bandwidth for customer?
There is blog post about next version of UrBackup.
http://blog.urbackup.org/223/new-in-urbackup-2-0-x
And they included the restore option:
File backup restore. To restore the file meta-data UrBackup has now an integrated file restore. The file restore reuses client-side hashes, if present, and transfers only differences, such that restoring folders with only few changes since the restored backup is fast.

new version looks fantastic! Thanks for the link man! Looking forward to it. Thanks for the hint. I recognised that, but thought, that networkload just last longer, but if i spread times itâs the same. You are right.
New version seems to have a lot of improvements! Looking foreward to it. Iâll definitly give it a try!
just to test version 2:
yum install wget gcc-c++ libcurl-devel cryptopp-devel zlib-devel -y
wget wget https://limitingfactor.urbackup.org/Server/2.0.12%20beta/urbackup-server-2.0.12.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf urbackup-server-2.0.12.0.tar.gz
cd urbackup-server-2.0.12.0
./configure
make -j 2
make install
./urbackupsrv run

So nice, really! Do you have just installed the new rpms? Can you paste some notes?
downloaded rpm from your link. yum local install⊠service has to be started manually. fw-rules added manually. again port 55414 tcp and 35623 udp. server is reachable under http://yourserver.domain:55414 . chkconfig doesnât work yet. centos 7 is different. Donât know how to autostart urbackup. one client was autodetected and backup worked.
In statusscreen now you can select columns about clients like IP, Operatingsystem, Status and some more. Also you can download client software for windows, mac and linux from statusscreen. In settings there is now a folder for email-nofification and a folder for LDAP/AD authentication.
Rest looks similar to Ver 1.4 but mor Windows-10-Design like.
I think i like it so far.
@alefattorini hope this note are what you ment.
