    You can drop down to an appliance root shell which still has access to all NetBackup commands - but really, if the NetBackup CLI user is enough - then there should be no need to go to the root shell.

    If one were to goof, even slightly, whilst in the root shell then a whole lot of damage could be done.

In fact, i've just discovered NBU Cli user. I've noticed that all commands are functionnal.

So, I'm curious and let me know if there is another solution to run command in appliance. If not, I will use Cli user (that's OK for me)
