I've installed and configured backrest for user bob, to backup their home dir, using the windows installer as user bob. I'd now like to add a backup for user alice. Can I simply install and setup backrest under the user account of alice, or will two running backrest instances on one host cause problems? The installation seems to happen per user account (instead of system wide) and thus not being visible to another user, but on the other hand the localhost:port combo seems not to be user specific.
(I tried to install backrest a second time as user alice already, which seemed to have caused issues for the installation of user bob, e.g., not being able to access the repository and backups anymore... Thus wondering, what best practice is, maybe worth to add to the documentation as well.)
