Switching user accounts

[Sigi]

Hello,

let's say User A (admin) is doing a backup. Let's assume the backup is a non-bootable backup of media files only. While the backup is running User B switches to his account and works on his files.

Will this negativley impact the backup of User A?

Thanks

Shouldn't have any effect.

Would it matter if User A is doing a bootable backup?

Thanks

No, it wouldn't. But, in general, you should try not to run programs while backing up, including those in other accounts.
