Remote Agent for Windows: Are you suggesting I install a RAWS License BE Exec Server ? Is there a way i can verify if already have one ? If I dont - do i need to purchase it first?
To check if you have the license
Yellow button > installation and licensing > License information
Look for Agent for windows
It should say Installed "Yes" and Licensed "Yes"
Otherwise you need to buy it and add it to backup exec
In an ideal scenario - do NAS Servers usually have a Remote Agent installed ?
Do you mean install the remote agent software : NO
Remote agents be installed on NAS as they have their customized OS (non windows)
If the service account you're referring to is the account under which the BE Service is running then it's a Domain Administrator Account. This account has NTFS Full Control Permissions on all the Shares and Folders within the NAS. - Is this what you're suggesting ?
Yes service account is the account on which be services are running and also this account you will use to backup the NAS, in NAS boxes you have a console using which you can add accounts to the customized shares
Will configure the IP under the user defined selections.
You have to as you will not see this under fav resources as there is no remote agent installed
Are you suggesting its okay to 'ignore' the credentials failure when running the test credentials ?
Yes most of the time they fail as the logic for crendential check does not understand non windows NAS boxes
PS: The NAS Device does not have the NDMP License installed and is not using the protocol. I have verified this.
This is what we need!
