Where is the user repository stored in kopia-server?

Hello everyone,

I installed kopia-server behind my domain name, and the connection works fine.

Here is what I have done so far:

I created a repository directly on the server (this repository is not the one I actually want to use, but it is mandatory to have one to create users).

Then added a user with the command:

kopia server users add mbacabara@mycomputer

I can connect with this account via kopia-ui on my Windows (Distant client) without any problem.

My issue is that I do not understand where the repository associated with the user firesixtieone@mycomputer is stored.
On my Debian server, I have two disks:

  • 40 GB for the system

  • 500 GB dedicated only for backup storage

I want to make sure that the user repository data is not stored on the system disk but on the 500 GB backup disk.

Could you please explain how kopia-server manages the storage of user repositories and how I can check or configure their location?

Thank you in advance for your help!

If you created a file based (filesystem) repo on your Kopia server and connect to that repo, all data tranferred to it will be stored in that repo,regardless which client connects to that repo. Since you needed to post the path to the create command, you’d know, where that was.

Hi there, thanks for your answer.

I manage to confirm it by uploading a big file.

But still, if you have a link to the part of the documentation I found all the process if the kopia server pretty obscur…
