Privileges required on remote machine

Regarding BackupExec 12.5 running on Windows Server 2003 SP2:

Please let me know if the following statement is always true.

To successfully back up a remote machine, the service account that runs BackupExec must be a member of the remote machine's administrators group.

  • No. If that machine is a DC and you want to backup AD, the BESA needs to be a domain administrator.
