Access Requirements

When you submit a job that includes remote Windows database servers, Arcserve Backup prompts you for a default user name and password for the system on which the database resides. Arcserve Backup accesses the remote servers using this user name and password.

A Microsoft SQL Server native user name and password are also required to access some database servers. When prompted by the system, enter the Microsoft SQL Server user ID and the password of the system administrator (sa), or enter a user ID and password with equivalent privileges. This user may be a Windows user, depending on security settings.

Note that there are two different data transfer mechanisms available to the agent, and that they have different permission requirements. A backup using Named Pipes only requires the Backup Operator permission for the specific database being backed up, and the Database Creator role to back up the database. A backup using Virtual Devices, however, requires the System Administrator role.

Note: A user in the Backup Operator Group does not have rights to access the Arcserve Backup database. As a result, member servers are not visible to the user in the Backup Manager.
