Questions from a new user

Hi, I am a new user of kopia.
I want to use kopia in this fashion.
I have a Ubuntu server that has two folders:
/Mymedia/user1-backup
/Mymedia/user2-backup
The users must only be permitted to use those two folders.

I want to create user accounts and passwords for those, so the two users can use the desktop application to do backup of their windows machines to my server.
My server runs zfs file system,
network acess is by vpn.

So, how do I do this?

:wave: Welcome!

Do you want to have 1 repository per user or should both users be able to access both repositories?

One repository per user.

Then select a protocol to use (SFTP might be easiest), create credentials for each user and connect with these credentials. The repository should be created automatically when connecting the first time.

The basics are all covered in the documentation. Is there anything special that you do not understand or need to know?
