Set a Workstation Password

If you selected password security when configuring the Windows client agent from the Backup Agent Admin, you must specify the same password in Arcserve Backup.

To set a workstation password

  1. From the Backup Manager, right-click the name of the client agent.
  2. Choose Security from the pop-up menu.

  3. Enter the local Windows user account name or enter the Windows domain account using the tree format.
  4. Enter the password and click OK.

    Note: If you use a client agent to perform remote client backups and restores, the password you set for the client agent overrides any shared password set for the workstation. If you do not use client agent software for your backup jobs, you must specify share-level passwords on the Backup Manager window. Make sure that the password on the Backup Manager and the share-level password are the same.
