Modify the Arcserve Backup System Account

The Arcserve Backup server requires a valid system account on the host Windows computer (initially entered during installation). You can modify the login credentials for the system account at any time, using the Server Admin.

If you are using a Windows domain user account to serve as the credentials for the Arcserve Backup server system account, you must update Arcserve Backup with the new password when you modify your Windows domain password.

To modify the Arcserve Backup system account

  1. From the Arcserve Backup Home Page, open the Server Admin by selecting Server Admin from the Quick Start menu.

    The Arcserve Backup Server Admin window opens.

  2. Select Arcserve Backup System Account from the Server Admin menu.

    The Arcserve Backup System Account dialog opens.

  3. Complete the following fields, as required:
  4. Click OK.

    Note: If you are using a remote deployment of Microsoft SQL Server to host the Arcserve Backup database, and the login credentials for the Arcserve Backup system account (User Name and Password) are identical to the login credentials for the remote SQL Server account, a message appears to notify you that modifying the login credentials for the system account also modifies the login credentials for the remote SQL Server account. If you are sure that you want to modify the login credentials for the remote SQL Server account, click OK.

    The login credentials for the Arcserve Backup system account are modified.
