Hello

I have followed all the steps and i got 2 errors: 

1 first error

When i type  chown -R urbackupsrv:urbackupsrv /mnt , i get the error

chown: invalid user: ‘urbackupsrv:urbackupsrv’

2 error

Even though i got that error above, i kept going and followed the rest of the steps and it worked fine on the side of the server but on the side of the client after i installed 

the service is showing failed 

systemctl status urbackupclientbackend

? urbackupclientbackend.service - UrBackup Client backend

In my case the chown command it works like this:

chown -R urbackup:urbackup: /directory/backup

not: chown -R urbackupsrv:urbackupsrv /directory/backup 

Thanks for your tutorial.
