Authentication Requirements

You must provide a valid username and password for the remote machines or shares that you wish to back up, copy, or restore data to. To enter the username and password:

From the Browser

The Browser uses your local username and password by default in order to access machines or shares for browsing. If your local username and password are not valid on the remote machine or share, then you will be prompted to enter the information when you attempt to expand that node.

When submitting a job

You may also change or verify the username and password for a machine or share each time you submit a job. If you have already provided account information for a machine or share, either in the browse mode or in a previous backup job, Arcserve Backup will retain this information and ask you to verify it. (This information is stored for future sessions.) When you submit a job, the Security Information dialog box opens. This dialog box displays the security information for each machine or share that is accessed during this job. To change the account information, select the machine/share, and click the Security button.
