Create or Verify a Brick Level Account

To have the capability to restore brick level backups on Exchange Server 2003 systems, you must either create a new brick level account or verify that an existing account meets the requirements for the backup agent service account.

The following sections describe how to perform the following tasks:

• Create a new brick level account
• Verify an existing brick level account

To create a new brick level account

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Programs, CA, ARCserve Backup, and click Backup Agent Admin.

   The Arcserve Backup Agent Admin dialog opens.

2. From the drop-down list, select Agent for Exchange Server, and then click the Configuration button.

   The Configuration dialog opens with the Exchange Document Level tab selected.
