+### Some notes
+
+* You can run kopia sersvice as any user you want,
+  often one having same credentials as network share saves on some tinkering
+* Password to a repository is stored under the windows user you first run it,
+  if you change the user, kopia wont start until you delete `repository.config`.
+  Afterwards kopia starts normally under any user, you just have to mount
+  repo again.
+* If writing a sript you you should set `$env:KOPIA_CONFIG_PATH="C:\Kopia\repository.config"`<br>
+  but we cant pass password to unlock the repo, so plan to use a user
+  that has the credentials saved.
+* in the `kopia_server_deploy_service_win` folder there is a powershell script
+  that regularly checks path and any shareit finds is added as a new policy,
+  inheriting from global - `check_and_add_NAS_shares.ps1`

 ### Problem with access to password protected network shares
 
 Kopia as a service runs under SYSTEM user.<br>
