Arcserve Backup System Account

The Arcserve Backup System Account is the account Arcserve Backup uses to perform various storage-related functions on the local server. Local backup or restore jobs use the Arcserve Backup System Account as the security to run the job.

The Arcserve Backup System Account is entered into the System Account dialog when Arcserve Backup is installed, and must be previously established at the operating system level. It is not necessary to grant this account special rights because Arcserve Backup does this automatically.

The account that you enter into the System Account dialog at installation is added automatically to the Administrators and Backup Operators Windows security groups.
